I use arch linux for my dev work, but it seems like a chore to use that as a day-to-day system on a laptop. Maybe I'm wrong.
- gens 10y agoJust get an LTS. Like xubuntu or something. It's no use comparing a rolling release to whatever OSX is.
- satysin 10y agoFedora is my choice for desktop Linux. It works great. If GNOME isn't your thing then almost every other DE is available in RPMFusion. Overall I find it nicer to work in Fedora than Ubuntu fwiw.
- Klathmon 10y agoSee, every time I try out fedora, i end up making my system unbootable just by installing packages. I don't know what i'm doing wrong, hell the reason I want to go with fedora is because I work with redhat based systems at work, so it's more familiar, but it just seems so unstable.
- fapjacks 10y agoArch is a chore. It's like half Gentoo and half fascism. Badum-psh! Nah, I like Arch. It's just very opinionated. For my day-to-day development work, and the OS I use for watching cat videos and Facebook, etc, I use Linux Mint (17.3).
- type0 10y ago> and half fascism. I don't like fascism, even half of it. So I don't like Arch, mainly because of the often times toxic community. How good pacman then may be - becomes irrelevant.
- geoka9 10y agoI find Debian Stable rock solid. I spent some time setting it up once many years ago and I'm basically running the same system now (upgrades over the years have been mostly a breeze).
