I tried Debian. If you want to run latest hardware its horrible experience. I shoved it on an old laptop and it was flawless. Put it on a new ryzen and I got constant crashing. Ended up on manjaro on my new hardware and it’s been great.
- mst 5y agoI still haven't forgiven the manjaro developers for their habit of - instead of actually trying to help - sending users to the arch linux community support channels with instructions to lie about which distro they were using to get help under false pretenses. I don't think they still do that but the lack of any sort of public apology that I've seen makes me suspect that they only stopped because they got caught.
- blihp 5y agoAs a counterpoint I'm running on Ryzen 5000 with a RDNA 2 GPU on Debian which is working pretty well. (zero CPU/chipset issues and one GPU issue which I can work around) The main 'trick' to running hardware (mainly CPU/GPU) that was released within 3-6 months of the last Debian stable freeze is to run Debian testing for driver support.
