For desktops? OpenSUSE.

OpenSUSE is, in my opinion "the" distro for desktop, mostly because of YaST.

You may be thinking
>"Okay, where are my packages? I bet 3rd party softwares like Visual Studio code or Powershell won't work"
Luckily however OpenSUSE, like all other distros, support FUSE (Linux) that enables it to utilize appimages (cross-distro compatible portable Linux apps).

I like Mint because it already comes with almost all of my preferred applications preinstalled.
And it saves me a lot of headache because everything just works from the start and I don't to waste my time configuring shit.

Gnu/Gentoo and Gnu/Funtoo because these are only distros in which you have a choice of program version and still have package manager.

Came here to post this. Only been using it for a couple of weeks but I'm impressed, think I can finally stop hopping.

I remember the first Linux I ever used, back in 2002 / 2003, was SuSE Professional or whatever it was called, I actually got a boxed version with cute printed manuals and stuff. I remember sitting there learning ruby 1.something on it, good times. Wish I'd kept the discs.

people tend to have a shit ton of issues installing nvidia's proprietary drivers.
>>
>>57800835
>proprietary
Well there is your problem
Why would you want those?
>>
Windows 10 :^)
>>
>>57800849
programs like hashcat require updated nvidia drivers, and the open-source nvidia drivers that are defaulted are out of date
>>
>>57800137
is openpepe good for gaming?

>>57800958
u can install nvidia driver and steam like ubuntu

openSUSE
+KDE works
+-Installation wizard
+Yast for GUI system configuration
+Snapper for rolling back updates
+software.opensuse.org for missing packages
+Tumbleweed for stable rolling release

-where is apt-get autoremove equivalent?
-no amdgpu-pro
-getting propr. media playback to work is a pain in the butt
>>
>>57803748
Agreed. It's a very well constructed distro that even your grandmother can work with, as long as you're okay with sacrificing some freedums.
>>
>>57799963
what did Bart mean by this?
>>
>>57800063

Alternatively -- 'Your distro'

Fedora

It's the one I'm using.
