Today I talk about the most overrated Linux distros. Be prepared for some circular reasoning. 👇 PULL IT DOWN FOR THE GOOD STUFF 👇Ko-fi - https://ko-fi.com/...
For me there is only two distros. They are Arch an Debian. But that is only me. I don’t think that any of those distros are overreted they just have their own user types and needs.
This is also me and there’s definitely other distros I wouldn’t use that would be helpful for a certain use case. Like NixOS for multiple systems.
Even still, there’s tons of distros that are essentially X but with more preinstalled packages. It takes knowledge, but if the unique parts of the distro can be replicated in 10 minutes, what’s the point? Just make scripts for one of the mainline distros. Or make the main distro suck a little less and install your graphics drivers for you so there’s no need for a separate image or script.
The first distro I feel in love with was Debian (potato I think). Before that I had dabbled here and there but never had something click. Played with Gentoo when it first landed (try a stage one Gentoo build without the internet to go to for answers to really learn it!) and after getting tired of compiling all the time tried this new Ubuntu thing. Stayed with that for years until snaps and decided to try Manjaro to learn about this Arch thing. Got sick of the problems and but the bullet and went “pure” Arch. Feel in love again like I did way back with Debian.
Now I use Debian on important servers and Arch on servers I can afford to play with and my day to day machine.
Never looked back. Debian for stability, Arch for everything else. Never been happier.

I use Arch BTW
