  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Strange, because in this thread alone I have seen recommendations for PopOS, Arch, Mint Cinnamon, EndeavorOS, Bazzite, NixOS, and Ubuntu.

    Even ZorinOS got a mention.

    So why isn't it Debian?

    So why isn't it Debian?

    As a ride or die Debian fan, I can answer this:

    A lot of really nice updates happened in the last year, and we're not going to see a lot of them in Debian stable until 2 or 3 years from today.

    If you're already running Debian, you'll probably just be delighted when they reach Debian stable.

    But if I'm recommending a "how's Linux today?" test, grab something that already includes the latest quality of life features. There's been some really nice stuff added to Gnome and KDE and various Flatpaks, this year.

    Edit: In about two years I'll probably be back to saying "forget all that, just run Debian Stable, because the very best stuff is already there."

    Of course, if the current trend of great updates continues another two years, I may have to eat my words, lol.

    Then there will just be some other stuff that has been developed that people want ;-)

    Yeah. As a "DOS was good enough" person, I honestly didn't expect so exited for all the updates in Gnome this year. But the Gnome team is on a hot streak. I really may get to eat my "Debian stable is all I need" words again in a few years.

    I am looking forward to Trixie <3

    It depends on your hardware if it is Debian. Debian prefers to use an older kernel until the next point release comes, which is nice because a random update likely won't break your system.

    But... speaking from experience: expect issues (missing drivers etc.) if your hardware is too new.
