Good distro for school Anonymous 2017-09-08 09:58:27 Post No. 62321609 [Report]

School is starting in a few days and with a new school year comes a new attempt of creating a bearable setup on my laptop.

Last year I learned the hard way that Arch might not be the most suitable environment to use when you need shit to 'just work'.

I want something stable with most of the basics like wifi and bluetooth and audio preconfigured. Debian based would be cool, Still trying to find something as comfy as the AUR for quick and ez package management and installing.

Can anyone recommend me some distros?

It's not that Arch isnt stable enough for me.

It's that you have to install everything, which is fine for wifi and pulse n shit, but when I'm at school and I need a vpn real quick I don't feel like researching the topic for 2 hours until I finally get it to work. That shit is fine on my desktop but cant have that at school

VPNs aren't something you just install, you need to connect to some server, which requires you to choose one which will take more time than installing the client software.

Not Debian based but I am using Fedora this semester with gnome and it's pretty comfortable and looks good.

99.999% of the time AUR has nothing to do with Arch being unstable. Every time my Arch install was fucked, it was because of the packages in community repos. And every time my Cinnamon died, it was due to same issue.

AUR is not at fault.

That wasnt the point. You still need to install NetworkManager and its vpn plugin etc etc

The point is that the software installation is the trivially easy part for the given task, so the distro doesn't matter.
Also, you don't need NetworkManager ot use vpns.
