And here I am on popos 22.4, while my friend tries to make me install arch with hyprland lol
unpopular opinion: tiling wms and wayland are nothing but a flashy headache... I use Arch (with i3, btw)
Your opinion will stay unpopular, because tiling is a lifesaver. Fuck mouse controls.
I use tiling too (i3), it's more about wayland sucking than the tiling, but combining those 2 results in a lot of frustrating little issues that need specific rules for different software.
Oh, yeah, I agree. Tried it too and had a lot of bugs and glitches
On Mint. Love Mint. Deb is life.
I'm trying to convince myself to try Bazzite from Mint. I have used Mint for 3 years now and need to install on a new larger drive.
Bazzite is great, but take a look at Aurora and Bluefin, too. All built from the same community with slightly different goals.
I started with Bazzite and ended up staying with Aurora.
I've really enjoyed my Bazzite experience. I've been running Linux for decades though, so take it with a grain of salt.
I came to Mint after breaking my 6 month old Arch install. Understandably, it is easy to do and I probably shouldn't have tried to install all the desktop environment at once.
I have used Linux off and on since 2003, but never really went full penguin until Microsoft downgraded my Windows 10 pro to 11 home.
I now have my kids running Linux and have started using containers.
Every time I've tried using Arch, something breaks.
So you fixed it with a simple search and a bit of research, r-right?
No, I fixed it by shutting down the PC and restoring from my backup. Plus, how can I search or research when the first thing to go is my Internet access?

I couldnβt even configure a static IP on setup. You have to keep looking up commands with obscure syntax and no examples

This is me, my PC currently runs Arch but I keep reading more about NixOS.
After trying 10+ distributions over the years the urge to try something new is not that strong, I settled on Debian based distributions.
But if I should try something new I would look into FreeBSD to get some Unix experience, or else NixOS also sounds interesting.

A fitting image choice, in more than one way, lol.
If you are happy with your distro then that's cool.
But if you got an urge to try a different distro, just install on a spare drive or partition your current drive and dual boot.
You could even try a live image or something like Distrosea without installing anything.
It's easy, free, and you might form new opinions.
Y'all still not using puppy?
Do you snort it or is it a pill
Still running Pop on my desktop years later, exactly because of this. It's stable and I like it. The only thing I don't like is that it's Pop.
And yet, all my laptops (which I don't really rely on) run Arch.
