Just curious to see what people are up to. I've been using Nixos for a while. It's fabulous and I have absolutely no reason to switch, but part of me is itching to hop to Debian or maybe OpenSUSE. How about you?

I'm pretty happy on Arch atm. The only things I'd need to change would be the window manager (Sway) or maybe the file manager. I switched from Nemo to Ranger and it's been so good.

My current plan is to integrate dust (the file size viewer thing) with ranger so I can see how much storage files are using in the directory I'm viewing. I need to find out where I can edit Ranger's functionality to accommodate this. I might have to resort to cloning the repo.

I enjoy Arch's DIY approach. I can tailor my system to how I want and if I'm not happy with a certain part I can change it.

Arch is great. I used it for a few years back in the day, but it kept breaking stuff. I hear it's more stable now but I don't have time to be fixing things all the time.
