distro

Poor KNOPPIX was/is a really nice distro way back when. I remember using it as sort of a swiss army knife on various systems as a LiveCD. It was jam packed with so much stuff it was amazing. It's sad to see it's not being developed anymore. (according to Distrowatch) I wonder whatever happened...

Good morning, good evening. As the title says, apologies for making a post asking what distro I should use. However, I am stuck here and I would like some real help for something that is bugging me, and a lot of it is not wanting Arch levels of bleeding edge, and Nvidia issues. I have...

Hello everyone, I'm starting work on a new Linux distribution called Peak Linux, and before I get too deep into building it, I want to hear from the community first. The idea is simple: a distribution that's lean, minimal, fast, and beautiful. Something that makes strong choices instead of...

Good day, good night, wherever you are. I am looking for a new distro to start fresh on as I got a new SSD. I am a long time Arch user but I switched to Debian simply for as I got talking to some people who told me how super stable it is. I knew it was a stable distro but I questioned this and...

UPDATE: I'm now going to use freebsd, and buy a macbook later. I'm no longer interested in using linux. Editor's note for those who are new here or those who doesnt understand: I'm trying to look for distros that don't suck and actually work well for my old laptop. Hi, This may be a stupid...

Let us know into which group of Linux distros do you fall in. This is about your daily driver, if you use multiple distros, select one that you use as daily driver/main OS. Unfortunately poll choices are limited to 10 so I had to experiment as to what choices to provide. I've included major...

Hello hello, how is everyone? I want a distro that I can stick with, something a bit more advanced than Mint. I have no issues with it at at all as it works as it should and it offers (almost) all I want, but its missing a couple of things and feels a bit too beginner friendly for what Im...

So, I have been getting used to Linux Mint for a few months now. I am planning to stay on Linux Mint till I get a more advanced understanding of how Linux works. One thing that is a little bit hard for me is having little to no control over where my settings are saved and where my programs are...

Did distrowatch change hands? It seems less useful than it once was. I've been using it since at ~2008-10 (somewhere in there). Please don't get me wrong, it's still very useful and I'm very glad it's there, but I'm surprised by distros I'm not finding there. I never used to have that issue...

Which Linux Distro is better for web developers? Or can someone recommend one? Thanks in advance. The distro must meet the following recommended features. Fast and Secure Can handle or manage server side scripting. Can target old devices as well as modern technologies. Can catch up with the...

I personally love NixOS and Debian's logos. Those are also the 2 distros I use the most. Coincidence? Bias? Maybe... I just really like the spiral and the snowflake and their colours, and they fit nicely as a logo

Hello my dear GNU/Linux users, I am thinking about switching from windows 10 to a linux distro for a long time now. I am working a lot in the area of Matlab / R / Python because of uni stuff. But in my free time i spend a lot of time with Unreal Engine 5 and develop small games by myself...

Hello, I've been thinking about moving from Windows 10 to Linux. I'm completely new to Linux and never used it. Now I'm looking for a few recommendations. It should be perfect for gaming and customization should be possible. I would want it to look exactly like Windows 7. Just like this: If...

Its a cool feeling when you see or hear a specific distro being mentioned in pop culture, because it encourages people to try it out, while promoting Linux as a whole and the principles of FOSS. There are a few links I found that talk about this (albeit a bit old): Here's Canonical talking...

I'm looking for a distro that would work well for my system without issues, performance wise mostly, but not looking too terrible. I use my system for playing games (mostly 2d), including windows games as well through Proton and Wine, as well as for video editing and some small-time game...

Because we all like to include features that didn't originally come with a distro, especially distros that are very basic by design, I'm wondering if its possible to create and distribute copies of riced distros? While it is true that each user configures their distro to their own liking, you...

Hello everyone i am currently using popos and it is really great in general but i want to try some new distros out there and my question is is there any other distros that is easy to change the gpu just like in the popos ? Thanks for your comments ...

Do you think people should look the distro watch to select the distribution? https://distrowatch.com/

Please bear with me through this explanation. Yes, I know how hard it is to create and maintain a distro so you don't have to write that comment. I like to play Minecraft and I have been playing it since I was a kid. With time I started hosting my own Minecraft servers (if ur not familiar with...

Except for Android (which is not even considered a Linux Distribution), are there any NON-GNU Linux Distros and what are their usecases? Asking just for personal knowledge
