Original question by @atmorous@lemmy.world

What Distros do you want to shoutout and why you think they are doing well/are the best at what they do?

I am curious what is out there and have only had some experience with Linux Mint, SteamOS, and Pop!_OS

Bazzite or an immutable if you do gaming and don't need a lot of special functionality (e.g. network scanning doesn't work, document signing doesn't work and will never work, managing gpg keys, embedded firmware development, Belgian EID, etc...)

Mint if you don't have a brand new system and just want an easy experience.

Arch if you want all niche software to simply be available through the package manager and never have to find rpm/deb packages.

Debian for a server (or maybe opensuse MicroOS nowadays)

Opensuse if you really want an EU OS or something very integrated with a snapshot system.

And of course, Hannah Montana Linux if you are enlightened.

All those things don't work on immutable systems? I'm on nixos and I haven't needed signing, but I didn't know it was just not possible
