So been trying out Garuda Linux for a while now (my first distro), but feel ready to try another distro. Therefore looking for a distro that suits my preferred requirements, anyone has any tips?
- Uses Wayland
- Supports flatpak
- ButterFS format
- KDE Plasma
- “Good for gaming”
Note: Got nothing negative about Garuda, I just want to explore the options out there :)—
NixOS is a decent leap from Garuda as a first distro. And it may not be that good if the user isn’t a programmer, which I’m not sure if OP is.
Not a programer, but doing a master in Cybersecurity (Digital Forensics), and have previously programmed a fair bit. But yeah, although nix sounds great I’m not quite looking for the steep learning curve quite yet at least. Might treat myself to NIX further down the line 😉
To be fair, nix is not super hard, it’s just that its more than your typical distro. You’ll run into rare compatibility issues. Yes, rare, but if you’re not a tinkerer, you may not like it.
