Why Void? What are the advantages?

From what I've gathered, its "do it all from scratch" approach entails a steep learning curve, and I wonder what one would get into it for.

Whichever one you choose is the right one!

Why having two Ubuntu-based distros on a dual boot, if I may ask? Matter of whatever visual preference you now have?

[–] Allero 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Literally the most suggested newbie distro, so you're probably fine :)

Like, ideologically I may mention it's Ubuntu-based so it sucks, but from end user perspective, it's alright.

Doubling down on literacy, Linux guides are either "here's how to do that absolutely basic thing" or "using veheydgvrl for quantumschropping the badumbliss". To me, Mental Outlaw produced quite some simple guides (warning: most vids are rants so you'll have to search for actual guides), Veronica Explains might be the fun option and not bloated with anything but tech, and just searching for solutions to whatever your issue is before you grasp how it works.

Lol, fair, fair! :D

But really, I just see no point for myself when there's Debian 12 already. I've always seen LMDE as a backup of sorts, so that the community would remain should Ubuntu really screw it for everyone. Or if you're Cinnamon maximalist, they have everything as polished as possible for that (but generally you can easily have Cinnamon on mainline Debian)

I myself am KDE fanboy, though :)

Normally when people hear Manjaro, hell breaks loose :D

Apparently folks here are a lot more chill about it

Trying to run a Shadowsocks VPN service, installing Wine in a way that properly integrates with a system (I guess not an issue with Bazzite), Distrobox containers failing, etc.

While trying to do the former, I also accidentally made Aurora literally not load into a DE in either ostree root.

The fact that it adds too little to Arch to be seen as a separate entity. And I don't want to run mainline Arch. It requires too much maintenance to work with it properly, and every update is a bit of a gamble on what's gonna break next - unless you spend solid time reading notes to every update.

Lol

See Ubuntu and derivatives

Ooookay, this will get controversial.

Proud Manjaro/Debian user!

  • Ubuntu and derivatives suck because of Canonical and their practices
  • Fedora sucks because of Red Hat
  • OpenSUSE sucks because RPM (why?!) and still SUSE (but they're the best of the three)
  • Rest is exotic and obscure

So we end up with Arch and Debian. Debian 12 is good enough as is, and runs on a work laptop where I don't care about anything but stability. Arch is respectable and great, but requires excessive maintenance to work properly. Among its derivatives, Endeavour is just a nicer archinstall (so, why?), Garuda is cool but unstable and too gamer'y, Manjaro is a bit problematic at times but generally the safest bet when it comes to Arch. So, when it comes to my main PC doubling as a gaming rig, this is a no-brainer.

Ran Aurora that is also based on Fedora Kinoite, just as Bazzite.

The world is seriously not ready for atomic distros. SO many workarounds to make basic things it's insane.
