For myself, I'd stick with #archlinux but would try #cosmic or #niri instead of #gnome. 🤓

@amadeus Gentoo Linux, LabWC, Emacs, kitty terminal, Firefox browser. And that would be almost all my needs covered from that.

@amadeus I've been installing #archlinux, #wayland, and #hyprland for many years now. Before that it was still arch, but #x11 and #i3

@amadeus yeah, arch has got me. Used to be xfce, but I've been getting comfortable with Cinnamon lately. Reminds me of when Gnome wasn't constantly annoying.

@amadeus@mstdn.social Debian 13.4 + Gnome 48 + a bunch of extensions (Arc Menu, Desktop Cube, Dash to Dock, etc.). Haters gonna hate, but it works great for me.

@amadeus I'm figuring that out at the moment, because I'm done with systemd but I need to stay on Linux as a DAW platform. Desktop environment: lxqt. It's resource-light, and it works very nicely for me. Distribution, though? I tested Alpine, and Renoise doesn't run there; nor does Redux. Haven't checked the ACMT plugins yet. Gentoo is the next candidate, for when I have the spoons and time.

@amadeus @fedora with @gnome, it's the most polished, best looking, easiest to use experience and I never had issues with it. The only reason I find ot hard to recommend fedora to new users is fedora's flatpsks being used by default and nvidia drivers, and codecs having to be installed manually. If fedora used flathub by default and had proprietary software that people want to use preinstalled it would be the easiest recommendation of all time

@amadeus interesting thread, lots of new input for me. Since running into some trouble with REAPER on Ubuntu Studio (KDE), I have been eyeballing Debian (GNOME), Linux Mint Debian Edition and Fedora Jam.

@amadeus I would slap my #nixos config onto the computer and go out and play with my dog😄✌ #Debian for most of my #homelab #vms but for my personal system, I'd go for nixos any day.

@amadeus I don't have the time but started installing Debian 13 and Sway anyway.

@amadeus if my puter would be libre - #GuixSystem + #river If not - #Gentoo and #river as well - doing it right now (three days already)

@amadeus I'm really happy with CachyOS, especially after the latest kernel update, that gave noticeable better performance in the DAW. I use Gnome, because it's feels more natural. Tried a lot of other DEs (also #cosmic), but never found the same level of intuitiveness as I do with Gnome. I think it's very personal what comes natural to us as users, so it's really great there is so many options!
