I switched from Pop_OS! to KDE Neon because I wanted to try out the latest Plasma features and was tired of GNOME’s bloat and needing an extension/Tweaks for basic functionality.
Then KDE broke screen sharing, bricked my install once by breaking LUKS disk encryption, and then it booted to a black screen on updating to the latest LTS…
So now I’m on Mint and all of my servers are on Debian because I want something that just works. Lol. No more distro hopping.
KDE bricked my install on my main desktop after updating to the latest LTS too. No idea how that happens. I’m on opensuse leap now.
Yeah I tried Tumbleweed, but I really don’t like RPM-based distros. Mostly because I’ve been a Debian-based boi most of my life.
Real
Linux is the family, you’re just meeting different people at the different spots of the buffet
I can’t wait to get my new laptop in November. I’m going to make my old one a Linux-only machine for all non-gaming purposes, and 100% going back to Mint.
This is my distrohopping log for anyone interested
Linux Mint 20.1 Xfce February 21, 2021 Zorin OS 16 Beta April 21, 2021 KDE neon May 12, 2021 Solus 4.3 Budgie August 13, 2021 Debian 11+ KDE August 18, 2021 Started Gentoo Experimentation April 27, 2024
I’m still using Debian (now Debian 12) with the exception of Gentoo on my desktop PC that I rarely use
Mind sharing your reasoning?
No Arch? Strange…
