X-Post from /c/linux@programming.dev

The author raises some good questions about the licensing of the core utils. Why the MIT license? Why not stick to GNU GPL?

    I really don’t know what to do for my next desktop distro.

    I don’t use my PC exclusively for gaming. So things like Bazzite or Nobara are not my jam.

    Arch-based distros seem too bleeding-edge. I don’t have that much free time to troubleshoot my PC. That’s why Ubuntu was so appealing to me. It just worked! Now I feel that with the latest LTS I’m going to be trapped into Canonical’s ecosystem with Snaps or risk borking my install. I hate this idea.

    I might just move to Debian Stable. I don’t mind being a big behind if it means having a rock solid system. I’m also very used to the Debian packaging system. Also there’s no company behind it that might take it in a certain direction.

    Alternatively there could be OpenSUSE Tumbleweed slow roll, but apparently it doesn’t play well with NVidia graphical drivers? I’m also not used to their ecosystem at all.

    Tough decisions ahead.

      Fedora’s key selling point is being up to date and extremely boring. It’s mainly just off-the-shelf software, with minimal niche custom software. Flathub and Steam are available from the setup process. It’s the most Linux Linux that Linuxes today.

      Edit: the bonus is that Red Hat being a sponsor means that the biggest improvements to the Linux desktop come to Fedora first. That’s what happened with PipeWire.

      I run Cachyos (KDE), for 9 months now. It’s Arch based. I have had only one problem that I caused myself because I didn’t read the docs well enough. Other than that I have had zero issues and it just works.

      It’s the best distro I’ve used (previously ran very early Ubuntu, the SuSe for a while, then Mint).

        Cachy is pretty solid. If you can name a distro I’ve at least tried it. Though I would still recommend mint for someone who has no idea what they’re doing and just need things to “work”. But garuda, endeavor or cachy are all pretty solid and straight forward. And with the talk of a new independent graphical package manager for Arch. It’s only going to get easier to operate and maintain.
