Manjaro because of its stellar hardware detection.
And on servers primarily debian
i use gentoo on my PC, i enjoy the speed, OpenRC-based, and knowing what my system is composed of
on my laptop i use artix linux, OpenRC again, speed of installing/updating packages, and i've found it to be pretty stable
On serverside debian is my first choice too 👌
Manjaro sure, has a little bit less aggressive rolling release concept.
Run it on a pinephone years ago, but did never run it on desktop 😅
I love the arch distros because it is community driven , no hidden company behind.
Do you use hardenings or container tools for safety of the system? (Apparmor/firejail/other) i have a big respect of the community packages yay. But seems the only way to get most tools (ok…maybe flatpak is an alternative or to build the package yourself)
#nixos and #archlinux ftw
Thank you, interesting. Artix seems arch based. I did no no this distro.
What are the advantages over a basic arch installation?
I usually default to Ubuntu but like Mint for simplicity. But then just load them all onto VMs on my proxmox just because I can.
artix allows you to choose different init systems, arch is systemd only IIRC
I go back and forth between fedora and Debian.
Debian requires a lot of configuration but has stable software.
Fedora helps me stay up to date on where the things I use are currently at.
No need to use one now, just like browsers. Different distros on different machines for different things.
Artixs sounds good, alternative for systemd. Maybe i will try this distro
There are only deb and rpm packages from contributor. pacam and flapak for f.e. Protonmail Client are missing.
Do you build missing software it from source to be sure there is no hidden malware?
i use AUR usually
I use https://omarchy.org/
I’ve heard of it, it looks interesting. I should take a closer look at its technical side.
My current status: I'm currently using Endeavour OS (arch).
I'm quite satisfied. I really like that it's community-driven.
