you mean from the base distros? sure
debian, slackware, gentoo, all allow you to install just a kernel with base, usbutils, iwd, e2fsprogs, whatever

not the meme distros tho... so no ubuntu, or mint

>>106505856
doesn't ubuntu have a minimal ISO?

Arch Linux obviously. Distrohopping isn't even real, just something new users do because they don't understand you can just change your DE (or anything else). The "real" choice is between Debian, Fedora, and Arch. Arch being the endgame once you realize how distros and Linux work.

>>106507533
I agree once you know the layers
DE or WM/Display Server and whats what is all unix based systems you realize that "distro-hopping" is just trying the same products packaged differently. People that dont understand that Linux Mint's product is Cinnamon DE are the ones that distro-hop

>>106505561 (OP)
Arch linux, the problem I had with most other distros is invariably something goes wrong or there's weird bugs and I have no idea how the fuck to fix them, if you keep things simple and just go with arch and then install a wm and a few other basic applications you end up with a robust system that actually just works and when I got that I just stuck with it.

>>106506061
I used it for a bit and really liked it; it was the first version of Linux I used. I didn't know what I was doing and I decided to start distro-hopping; I hopped one time, to Fedora, and I've been on Fedora ever since. It's nice to see based Mageia get mentioned again, though.

>>106507759
One thing I've always wanted to see was a guide on how to completely rice one distro into a different one, like turning Fedora into Ubuntu or something like that.

>>106512502

This. Been on Tumbleweed for over 4 years now. Its the best rolling distro you can get IMO.

>>106513016
>rice one distro into a different one
Does this count?

Debian. I used Arch and Artix for some time, but it got annoying having to check an RSS feed every time I updated to make sure I wouldn't brick something. I realized the latest and greatest stuff didn't really matter and if it did, it could just go in a VM or container.

>>106514025
Hey, that is pretty Ko...krashes

>>106505561 (OP)
fedora. The only distro out of all I've tried where the installer doesn't crash, the fresh install has no ridiculous issues like failing to boot or deadlocking on shutdown, it doesn't brick itself by updating, and it doesn't expect me to fix anything that isn't my fault to begin with.

don't complicate yourself anon

Distro hopping is pointless between the major distros desu, all of em do basically the same thing. I use arch because I like AUR more than copr or ppa, and I find pacman to be a slightly better package manager than the rest but basically everything else is the same between distros.

>windows
spys on you plus windows 11 is absolute garbage

fine for regular people, but silos you off with software that can't be used between ecosystems, which is annoying/inconvenient.

I have work to do, and it's annoying to re-setup everything so i use the OS until either i get a new, faster drive or shit fucks up (which in the only case that happened was because i was fucking retarded and symlinked the pacman cache)

Ubuntu just works.

>>106512502
+1 for Tumbleweed. Adding the packman codecs and dealing with 1 or 2 version discrepancies almost each update is kinda a pain, but otherwise my fav so far.

>>106518013

NixOS. I'm content.

I convinced some normies to jump to Fedora, so I stuck with it in case they bumped into distro-specific problems. I can do what I need to with any distro desu, so it doesn't matter what I'm on.
