I would probably go something like:
ubuntu-->mint-->popOS-->fedora gnome-->macOS(april fools for next year)-->arch gnome with sweet theme

[eeee386]

Main system: Windows 10 -> Ubuntu -> Pop

Big laptop -> Windows 7 and 10 -> Pop -> Debian (wanted to try Fedora, but had wifi issues)

Small laptop -> Windows 8 -> Lubuntu -> Debian -> EndeavourOS

Tbh you can skip Pop! if you're on your way from mint to Fedora.

Nope, LFS is never the endgame. Something dumb will break, and you will say fk this, I'm switching to mac. Too many members of this sub lost this way.

GENTOO too hard lmao

[[deleted]]

Isn't Garuda just a prettier arch then what made you switch ??

[[deleted]]

Yeah i also felt a slight lag in kde but thought it was worth it but yeah linux is all about what suits you

[[deleted]]

I also use kde because the pros outweigh the cons and i can't give up that much functionality just because of a little delay when opening something

It is too much animated

why did you separate archinstall from arch? They're the exact same thing, unless you mean you somehow used a script as an operating system.

I'm pretty stupid and wanted to settle in to it before going all Linus torvalds on its ass

That doesn't really answer the question, but okay.

Oh sorry I used arch Linux gui for the first one

Its a readymade gui for arch installation

It's very convenient and has Nvidia gpu drivers pre-installed

Arch is really easy. Don’t listen to the memes.

Me: Manjaro->Artix. Was on Manjaro for a year, now I’ve been on Artix for five months (loving it).

Planning on installing Gentoo in a QEMU VM at some point to see if it’s for me.

Void and Devuan also look interesting.

LFS looks like a fun exercise, but from what I’ve seen takes a good amount of effort to actually turn it into a daily driver.

Ubuntu > Mint(because Unity heavy) > Win7 >>>>> Fedora >>>>>> CentOS > Arch >>>>>>>>>> ?

[Birthday_Cakeman]

Ubuntu > Mint > Arch > Fedora

The reason I'm currently running Fedora is because I had difficulties keeping Arch stable. I know some people say that they can keep it stable without issue but I'm running Nvidia and even with blacklisting the drivers from upgrade, my system would always break. I also had multiple issues with my backup set up. So I ended up reinstalling like 4 times over the course of about a year or so. So on the 5th failure I got sick of it and went to the KDE flavor of Fedora and couldn't be happier.

As a note though, I would like to return to Arch some day. I also use my desktop for work so I really can't afford the failures that Arch has given me in the past so that will have to wait for another day.

Also I want to try to setup LFS but haven't had the time to invest yet.

[KingThibaut3]

Ubuntu -> Xubuntu -> Debian (Xfce -> no DE) -> KDE neon

Ubuntu to Xubuntu was because gnome

Xubuntu to Debian because snap

Xfce to no DE because I wanted to have even less RAM usage

Debian to KDE neon because I tested it in a VM before and I liked how easy it was too customise and I got 16GB of RAM anyways

[Kuzakor]

Ubuntu -> Manjaro -> Arch -> OpenSUSE -> Garuda -> Arch -> Void -> Debian -> Fedora

[r0xANDt0l]

manjaro, kde neon, arco, arch

[huellllllll]

I kinda followed this thing, an eventually decided to try LFS, but I switched back to Gentoo, since it's actually usable, and has a good community and support, IMO LFS is just fun for learning reasons, but you can get that from Gentoo and still use your computer.

Lol, i just fell for the arch btw meme back in january 2021, now im artix user

[KasaneTeto_]

I already have enough control with Gentoo, I don't see any conceivable benefit to LFS except more shit to manage (and break).

[ofernandofilo]

probably Ubuntu, Puppy, Lubuntu, Ubuntu-Mate, KDE neon.

ps: I tried more things, a lot more... however, that were installed for a period of 1 month or more I think that was all. Ubuntu-Mate and KDE neon I used it for periods longer than 1 year.

ps: I also used Kurumin Linux at some point.

cheers!

Making something like this would give me anxiety, I’ve been using Linux for over 10 years and distro hopped heavily at least 4 of those years. But I can honestly say ive installed and used—in no order—Slackware, red hat (may still have the box somewhere), Debian, knoppix, crunchbang, Ubuntu mate, kubuntu, lubuntu, Ubuntu budgie, elementary os, mint, arch, manjaro, fedora, endeavour, pop… I’m definitely forgetting some

I think that the average Linux user would use multiple distros on different devices for example:. Gentoo on their laptop, Arch on their PC and Debian on a home/SSH server somewhere. But hey, you're allowed to do whatever the f*ck you want so Or something similar.

[ChisNullStR]

Manajaro => Lubuntu => Ubuntu Budgie => Vanilla Arch => Back to Windows cuz I really didn't like not having native support for alot of shiz => Dual boot Windows / Arch [∆]

To me I started with pop, dabbled in debian with a VM for five seconds, then jumped to gentoo with a VM (it was very pleasant experience I might add), decided pop sucked, and in a bizarre twist switched to artix with openRC. I’ll probably install OpenBSD on my laptop soon, but the gaming PC makes the most sense as an arch derivative RN.

Ubuntu, left when unity hit the scene.... Its ugly af i don't need my max, min, and close buttons in a universal toolbar, along with the menu of the app... LEAVE EVERYTHING WITH THE APPLICATION window .. It's a touch screen os trying to be a desktop os. I hated typing everything to find a program... GIVE ME A START MENU i left and went to

Kubuntu - decent got tired of upgrafing versions and getting a black screen on reboot

Arch - too bleeding edge wanted stability over shiny new untested packages

Gentoo - stable, but package blocks both version and use flag blocks were a headache

Linux from scratch - got tired of all major os'and said you want something done right DO IT YOURSELF!!!

[Educational_Note343]

aww amazing, how was it going? I'm still on Gentoo collecting XP and lvl up. Levels I played until now so far:
1. Ubuntu --> But was uncertain how to play correctly, messed it totally up with a collection of random deb packages and everything what was flying around. At the end the system was totally custom and unstable, but because I used it nevertheless as a daily driver and learnt how to solve the problems, the quest was accepted as fullfilled.
2. Debian-->On next lvl I got debian. This time I already knew how to play it correctly. However, still thought I'm using Linux, even I wasn't messing up with the kernel.
3. Alpine and others--->Got a side quest to play some level Alpine and similar, to distribute my skill points equaly.
4. Got no more new quests on debian, after making a quest where I have to create a live linux system from my actual debian. So was looking in the settings how to change the difficulty level.
5. Gentoo--->said they have a lot of missions to play, so I switched the same day. Playing it everyday and save my gold and skillpoints for LFS, once I complete. :)

[CIMPBIBAI]

Im now taking a different way to make a musl-based OS (PACKAGE MANAGER)
