I have finally found my sweet-spot between being a total neckbeard (Arch) and following trends (Ubuntu) by simply starting with a minimal Ubuntu/Fedora/Debian installer and then installing whatever desktop environment I choose (I like MATE because it's non-intrusive and fast enough for me). I usually use less than ~10% of the software that comes pre-loaded with most distros.
- dllthomas 10y agoThis is where I have found myself as well.
- semi-extrinsic 10y agoTo each his own, I suppose. Personally, I roll Arch on eight computers at home and work, no neckbeard required. I install exactly what I want at first install (Awesome is my preferred tiling window manager), and updates are performed when I want, which is much better than automatically. Apart from systemd, which I haven't gotten around to excising yet, there is no cruft anywhere. Plus the added bonus of never having to upgrade to the latest distro version.
