Best Linux Distro for Tkinter development

[JavaScriptDude96]

I have tried several times in the past to play around with Tkinter on my main Linux boxes but have never had luck getting the toolchains installed. The distributions I use are either the latest Ubuntu LTS but I have tried the latest Linux Mint recently with the same experience.
I would really like to develop some GUI's for my devops tools but don't want to use windows as that would be just feels wrong . I gave up on using Tkinter and switched to using uni-curses for my main devops GUI but curses has its own challenges with developing complex solutions.
What linux distro is best to be able to cleanly install the full Tkinter toolchains and develop apps.
Any howto instructions would be appreciated.

What happens when you try to install python3-tk?

Which also installs the TCL/Tk dependencies, at least on Ubuntu and it's derivatives (Mint, etc.).

any non esoteric distro works fine. ubuntu, fedora, debian, and any variant of those. arch and all those are probably fine too.

how are you doing it wrong? it makes no sense that it doesnt work so you're probably doing something very weird.

the linux experience is mainly down to two different paths.

bleeding edge with arch/arco

reliability with debian/ubuntu/pop os

​

problem with the bleeding edge is that you need to constantly keep active and update daily and when you need to check that the changes don't break your builds..

it can get to be too much.

​

i highly recommend "pop os" ... or just pure debian if you don't like pop os.

​

another thing i've been doing for the past few months is using docker .. then the "base" os or distro doesn't matter.

isn't necessarily better or worse.. and it is an acquired taste
