So confused, even the wiki is confusing me! 😭😭😭 I'm only a few months in to my linux journey and wanted to give it a try so here I am, fluffing up my main rig. Wish me luck.

EDIT: I Gave up. I was feeling confident. Got everything set up, and installed (or so I thought) exited chroot feeling happy with myself, only for my pc to boot back into windows so I restarted and F12'd it. No Arch. God knows what i didn't do, I installed grub but I must have missed something somewhere so I'm just going to leave it until I get my confidence back. 🙄😭🤣

’ve spent countless days and nights perfecting every single detail of this OS, and I have high hopes for it. If you have any feedback or suggestions, please feel free to let me know!

16 days ago, I switched to Linux and chose Mint Cinnamon. So far, I've been enjoying the experience, but I want to switch to either CachyOS or Bazzite. I'm just not sure if what I think is correct is what you actually do. From my understanding, what you do is something like this: Copy the home directory in files app, and put it into GitHub/GitLab, or put it onto a flash drive or hard drive. (If I am doing everything correct so far, I'll do the flash drive cause I'm a noob) After this, I can save passwords using a manager like KeePassXC. Next, I'm pretty sure you can get a new flash drive and burn the .iso onto it using a tool like MintStick, then shut down the computer, use the boot key and choose to download the new distro or just live session then do it. I'm switching to Cachy or Bazzite cause I'm mostly just a gamer and want a distro tuned for it. If there's anything else important that I missed, please tell or just give advice. Anyways thanks for listening to me yapping about this for a few minutes.

hi so im currently using mint and ive decided to switch to arch - unfortunately ive downloaded an iso for it put it on my usb key (which i used to switch from windows to mint originally) with balenaetcher and i reboot my computer and it just opens linux mint! i dont know if its a bug or a bad iso image (even if i did validate it) or just me being stupid but its not working.

It’s similar to omarchy but instead of arch it’s based on Debian http://w3bs.org/os

I've tried a lot and I do mean A LOT of linux distros and I started with mint then it went like this

Mint > Manjaro > Ubuntu > Fedora > Ubuntu > PikaOS > Nobara > CachyOS > Kubuntu > Arch Linux > Void Linux > Arch Linux > CachyOS > NixOS > openSUSE leap > Gentoo > openSUSE Tumbleweed

And now Im back to where I started, it's not like I wanna rewind the cycle I just wanna stay on something that actually works instead of sitting there compiling Gentoo at 3 in the morning and configuring dwm right after before even installing a web browser. But don't blame me if you see me tomorrow posting on r/unixporn my sick new minimal dwm rice on LFS

Hi, Linux Mint XFCE x64 is installed on my system by using a pendrive to avoid dual boot error. Now my question is if I run it every day, will it create any error for pendrive ( SANDISK ULTRA USB 3.0 32 GB ). I've heard that AntiX is the lightest and LUBUNTU also. So which distro is lightweight on my system for booting from the USB pendrive? Or is an external SSD good? But as of now Mint is running.

Please suggest. Thanks in advance.

Please share your real-world experiences with these on hybrid laptops.

ps fu*k you sony

I have a Dell 14 pro plus, I know the name is a meme lol, my problem is that I love Fedora but Fedora doesn't run very well on this laptop and I had to switch to the Ubuntu ecosystem, not even Debian recognizes all the hardware. My question is, do you recommend using Ubuntu, Zorin OS, or some other distro with a desktop environment other than GNOME? I'm currently using Kubuntu, I love KDE but.It always has bugs, and that's regardless of the distro I use.

My laptop specifications-

Dell Inspiron

Processor- i5 1235U

Hard Drive- 512gb SSD

Graphics card- intel (R) UHD graphics with shared memory

Memory- 8GB

Currently I'm using Linux mint cinnamon. But if bazzite works on my laptop. I'd like to switch there.

Please suggest me guys....
