wanting to hop into the world of linux on a dual boot method (one of my favorite games unfortunately cannot be run on linux at all, and it’s a gacha. I don’t want to gamble with my account being banned, so I’m keeping windows for it specifically.) this’ll be my second go at it, I used Pop!_OS briefly but had some issues with wifi and didn’t love the GNOME layout. I have a new distro picked out, but I just was curious what other people are using in this community. was also wondering what made you fall on your current one.
and maybe as some bonus questions, what are some distros you’ve tried but didn’t like? what about a distro you want to try eventually? I’ve seen distrohopping is a thing, hahaha.
I really like Fedora, but the release cycle is too fast for my tastes. Also I find Gnome distracting these days.
That’s why after 20+ years I use Mint or LMDE. I don’t have the time or interest to tinker the way I used to unless I’m getting paid for it. Mint was the thing that got me to leave Fedora.
Yeah, I use Gnome, and I kind of hate it and feel like a bunch of religious ideologues are constantly trying to break my window manager on update so I find Jesus, but I’m used to it, so it’s what I use…
My only real problem is I still use windows more than full screen, barely ever use workspaces, and those are two workflows they really want someone to use.
