How long have you been hopping? Is this your 3rd week or your 30th?

What are you looking for? Why are you hopping still?

What are some pros of the distros you tried? What are some of the cons?

Overall what’s your favorite distro so far and which is your least?

  1. I have been hoping for a long time around 2-3 months.
  2. I mostly hope to see what different distro has to offer plus I get to know a lot about Linux and how it works. ( I am a Software Engineer so I learn a lot about softwares too)
  3. ok this is a tough one, I like Arch because of AUR and the concept of AUR, there isn’t anything like it in other linux distro however it broke because I partially updated it by installing newer package on older deps this was my mistake that I didn’t update my Arch system for a long time, I also liked Gentoo which gave me a deeper understanding of how software are compiled and gets installed on a Linux system.
  4. My favorite distro would be Arch and the least favorite would be Ubuntu

Maybe it is time to try something without systemd and since you liked pacman then artix obarun joborun … parabola hyperbola (if you are into strict free software) may be good bets.

What’s the weirdest one you’ve tried? Most challenging? Have you found any really cool defining features in any distro?

For example GoboLinux and NixOS eschew the Linux file hierarchy standard (FHS), and that becomes their defining feature. But many other distros have some other defining feature. Slackware uses tarballs as package management and oldschool init. LFS has you build from nothing. Etc.

Is there any good tutorials for nixOS? I tried it and felt extremely lost.

Try Bazzite

I don’t have a beefy machine to play game on, so installing Bazzite is useless for me.

Then go for Aurora
