I'm getting a new laptop, and I wanted to install Arch +, as it turns out Hyprnaziland. Currently, I'm using Pop OS. Any recommendations? I'm working as a web developer.
Install fedora atomic desktop (GNOME or KDE is fine), and then do all your Dev setups through podman/docker and all your graphical apps through flatpak. Or just stick with POP!_OS if it already works for you.
Genuinely will be more productive than 99% of hyprnazi dorks.
For web dev, you're probably fine anywhere. If you need special software they might only provide it for Ubuntu, and if you're on another distro you would need to use distrobox to run it.
I use OpenSuSE, if you're on Nvidia or don't update often (like every week or two), then pick Leap, otherwise Tumbleweed is good
UBlue images are Fedora Atomic for developers, it should suit your needs while also making your system install very stable and very unlikely to break, in these you usually rely on Flatpak, Distrobox and Brew for stuff you need to install that is not already pre-installed. If you want tiling on a DE, there's Krohnkite for KDE that I always see recommended.
Thank you for the suggestions. I'm checking them right now.
Fedora crossed my mind, but I wanted to test Arch after so many years and see how much I've learned.
Pop is great, but of course I couldn't wait and updated to Cosmic Desktop, which is great, blazing fast, but being in beta has a lot of bugs. I might go with Fedora this time. Because let's be honest, more than any fireworks I want stability.
