BREAKING: Man breaks Linux, installs another distro, and lives happily ever after.
BREAKING: Man announces he runs Arch, btw
That’s like eating exactly one potato chip.
LOL, I've actually tried Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Puppy Linux, DSL, Tiny Core, and even the true outlier (not quite Linux or Unix though) Microsoft Xenix before. I've probably even tried a couple other distros before but only very briefly.
It takes effort to break them in any way that I can't manage to figure out how to fix.
I settled on Linux Mint as my daily runner, but one of these days I might have to give TempleOS a spin in a virtual machine..
Try an atomic distro too, if you haven't yet. It's a completely different experience from regular Linux - specially the ones that take care of everything for you like UBlue's.
As a chaos monkey, I haven't broken this atomic distro in a few years. It usually takes me less than a year to break my distro's package system beyond my comprehension (or something equally important, but it's usually the packages).
Ohhhhh boy. I surfed over a thousand distro ISOs. Couldn't have just one.
... Now, for over a decade, I've calmed down. Settled down with Bedrock Linux. ;) (That's cheating!)
