    Linux mint if you don’t plan to learn the ecosystem in detail, Manjaro if you have cold feet about wanting to learn the ecosystem, Artix, Arch or Nix if you want to learn the ecosystem.

    There’s many adjacent options but hopefully that gives you some direction

    I use arch btw but I really hate the bijillion distros we have and the fact that people act like they matter, and yes I get the irony (btw).

    When I first started I was really into KDE (I still like the kde effort) but the actual software was just bug ridden and weirdly out of phase aesthetically. Which is why we have other options like gnome and so on.

    At the same time I feel like if the Linux community could combine their efforts instead of having dozens of developers working on the same thing with slightly different philosophies we’d be miles ahead of windows and Mac.

    It’s complicated because options are good and the effort is welcome and it ultimately grows the community but I feel strongly as though when it comes to developer power and efficiency Linux is really spreading itself thin and it absolutely has to do with core philosophies differing between teams.

    I have met 3 arch users irl.

    One was a hacker man kid (unironically one of the best developers I’ve met), messy hair, hoodie but other wise a regular kid.

    One was his friend, jock kind of kid. Not necessarily good at programming but he did program and was enthusiastic about it.

    Another is a CS major, 6ft tall and fit. Not much else to say about him. He studies CS, you can infer whatever else you want.

    And obviously me (btw), not that I’ve met myself.
