which of these just werks distros is the most workable and user friendly?

>>106026287 (OP)
manjaro

Fedora KDE

>>106026287 (OP)
Netrunner, the ideal linus is a debian that is up to date with minimal dumbshit. I want X back.

>>106026307
lmao, NOBODY is using your meme os, stfu

>>106026287 (OP)
Mint is the best of those 3.
I have had a lot of issues with Fedora on my machine for some reason.
Canonical are just dogshit and I wouldnt want to use their slop.

Personally I believe Debian or OpenSUSE are the ones to choose if you just want something stable that werks.

>>106026400
im always hearing about mint having sound or wifi issues and fedora not having them

>>106026287 (OP)
none of these show arch loonix

>>106026287 (OP)
if you don't use nvidia or don't care about the proprietary drivers; fedora all the way

>>106026332
THE most unstable distro I've ever used. Not even a day in and all I get is this black screen on boot. This happened after logging out gave me a pure black screen (which I left for several hours and tries many things, but no luck and had to reboot).
Right now, I refuse to believe people actually use it.

fedora will cause the most friction if you require a proprietary driver like broadcom and also want secure boot enabled compared to the other two. I believe mint and ubuntu make it easier for the average user by offering them (if third party stuff is checked at install?) and also preparing mokutil to enroll the key on boot.

>>106026287 (OP)
mint xfce

>>106026287 (OP)
Smug lizard, of course.

>>106026879
fedora workstation? I've noticed gdm disabling wayland randomly on different computers. Check /etc/gdm/custom.conf and switch false to true. Just a wild guess

>>106026765
akmod works perfect

>>106026287 (OP)
Ubuntu is shitte.
Mint is nice.
Fedora is cool but I always have to disable SELinux. And I'm not contrarian, every single time it fucks me up, I give it another try. I read their documentations and try for hours to get it to work the way they intend it to and politely ask it if I can use my computer for whatever oh so dangerous shit it blocks me from doing. I jump thru all the hoops and... nothing. So I setenforce 0 and now it's good to go.

>>106026879
there was also some screensaver bug in kinoite some weeks ago. i was baffled.

TempleOS

LFS is quite user-friendly. Easy install process, just like Windows but no microshit spyware and its optimized

>>106027127
does it? I love fedora but even 42 has issues with nvidia

>>106027427
genuine question regarding lfs. Aside from some sort of learning project, what does it do that would make it superior to gentoo as a daily driver? Portage is literally the best source based package manager, and there's nothing even comparable.

>>106027468
lfs literally has no package manager so you'd have to redo chapter 8 every time if you ever decide to update it.

>>106026287 (OP)
"Workability" depends on your hardware. Check compatibility if you are really worried.
Mint is not a real distro. Ubuntu sucks dick. Fedora is alright. They all use same ducking gnu shit software, you're only choosing color of the logotype and boot loader. You can always just download whatever your distro didn't have from the box. Don't know what you mean by "user friendly". If you mean your desktop environment then you can change it to anything whenever you want.

>>106026287 (OP)
I use LMDE (mint on debian), super easy switch from windows, even instantly got my touch screen to work

>>106026287 (OP)
get fedora if you want updating software, get ubuntu/mint if you dont care about updates.

theyre all mostly find your experience is more impacted by the desktop environment (cinnamon,kde,gnome)
>>106026332
thats what im using atm

>>106028032
ok then, kde or cinnamon? i only used xfce in a vm once, it was okay. I like windows 7 aero the most if that matters.

>>106028124
get a spare USB drive, install ventoy on it
https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html
this means you can move .iso files into the usb drive and boot directly into them.
then just get the .iso files from
https://fedoraproject.org/spins
https://ubuntu.com/desktop/flavors
this allows you to quickly compare them yourself, kde,gnome,cinnamom are all very popular and good desktops the differences between them are purely personal taste.

>>106026287 (OP)
Nobara is better than all of those, but of those three, Mint just works

>>106026287 (OP)
Choosing a distro depends on your usecase. Normie distros might be easier but it will be harder to fix if you run into an issue.
What kind of apps do you need? What's you're IQ? Are you actually willing to learn a new system or do you want something that feels exactly like Windows?
If you still don't know try Debian (or Devuan if you're a chud), it's the swiss army knife of distros with a skill level similar to Windows LTSC.

>>106029192
>will be harder to fix if you run into an issue
How? Mutable distros aren't locked down or anything. Just paste shit into the terminal and it's fixed.

>>106029201
More points of failure. If you start with a minimal Debian install you get exactly what you ask for. If you want more you do research on your own and can learn the software your working with in the process. If you start with a Ubuntu or Fedora there are a lot more components to worry about that you might not even be aware of like Flatpak, wayland, xdg-desktop-portal or some distro specific software they shoehorned in on top of it all.

>>106029298
If you want the user to actually learn about the system, get him to install gentoo. Or spend a week with LFS.

>>106029323
Debian is still a great start. It's just a good balance of everything.

>>106029347
I know, I'm just spamming some unsolicited opinion for no reason. I'm trying to work the guts to do just that myself.

Or just install Debian.

>>106026287 (OP)
Ubuntu or Fedora is fine. Mint is trash
