    Customizability of various distros

    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.

    distrowatch question

    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...

    What distro logo do you like the most?

    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

    Linux in Pop Culture

    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...

    New Linux Distro!

    Hey all, I'm currently working on creating a new Linux Distro! It's going to be relatively simple to use, so that even Linus could use it, but highly customizable, for all the more advanced Linux users! It won't be based on another distro. I'm currently looking for maintainers to help with...

    Lightweight Linux Distro with Gnome?

    I was a Windows guy (1996-2006) who switched to Mac (2006-2021) and now I'm moving to Linux since I think Apple is losing its touch with macOS, specially with security and UI. I bought a cheap laptop (Asus L510). It has only 4GB RAM, a crappy screen (15 inch but a horrible viewing angle) but a...
