I'm on Tumbleweed right now. Used to be on Arch flavors, Garuda then Cachy OS.
Tumbleweed is almost as fast for gaming performance, I just don't have it in me to do all the tinkering anymore. Just want something up to date that works.
Arch was... great and pretty reliable, just got tired of the tinkering.
I've gone with PopOs. Ubuntu based so well supported. They've been around for a while now so they won't disappear over night. Gaming just works.
I was on Nobara for a while and really liked it. but while glorious eggroll is the goat, I don't want to put my DE in the hands of a single person.
Since swapping the I've experienced one game crashing freeze (which I hope was a one off), and when screen sharing BG3 over discord it slows the game down to a crawl. But I blame discord for this one, as its fine when streaming from OBS.
Just curious does anyone actually care about what distro people use or more just a meme?
It lasted for a precious second.
I have been talking and thinking about switching for a while. I want to go straight to Debian.
Currently, PopOS although I'm not really that enthusiastic about it.
I've been using Pop for years, I just feel like its always worked so well for me and never given me any major gripes. Web browsing, playing a few basic games, editing documents and even recently setting up another home server with it for media streaming with Jellyfin.
I'm a big advocate for any OS which works well out the box and is mostly hands off once configured!
If PopOS isn't your thing you'll find it eventually 🙂
PopOS has been working well for me so far. After a couple of weeks of messing with it to fix some issues, it works seamlessly for the most part. Every so often I find something new though. On Windows I could easily plug in a second pair of headphones and switch between them as outputs. On PopOS it doesn't work this way. I looked up a fix, but I saw that it will require changing more settings and probably installing some more packages, so I decided not to bother for now, lol.
I will say that I'm not a fan of the weird pop shop. It feels janky to use, and sometimes the gnome software center gives me notifications to install updates when the pop shop also can install those updates. It feels like there should just be one place for updates and new apps by default.
last time I was messing around with Linux on a second machine I think I installed Mint. it was fine 🤷🏻♂️
Debian Testing.
Learning about the xz backdoor was a fun week.
