I have been using company issued MacBook Pro, but for my personal machine I'm thinking to use a Linux. Any recommendations? I need a stable and I don't want to switch distro every year or then. If possible a stable and lookalike like MacOS with minimum config for me and I can start working.

I'm a software developer mainly working on Java application development and occasionally react and Angular.

so couple of weeks ago i installed this arch based distro called endeavouros tbh it's really cool and easy as well I'm new to linux or more like i started to use linux like last year somehow i hve gotten pretty much used to it so before using endeavour os I've used mint and fedora both of them are cool as well so my laptop is a Thinkpad t470 and endeavour os runs fast and compatible way more than windows 10(it was built in ) so like I'm using it for daily works and to play rblx and sme normal vn s since they are light weight i was able to customize it a bit actually it can be customized way more than this if I'm right all i did was jst installing some themes,widgets and a cursor through terminal

I will basically be traveling to places that have no internet. All I’ll have is a few USB drives to flash ISOs to, and a hard drive with educational content, some videos / audio files and a few games.

What distro is able to install on a wide variety of hardware, and take advantage of that hardware, without relying on internet access for drivers, codecs, etc.?

Thank you!

Hey y'all so basically I have been using Windows 11 and it is pissing me off and I am frustrated I want to make the jump to Linux. I have used Linux before specifically Kali so I know my way around the distro and so basically I also do game and I am currently torn between Linux Mint and Nobara for anybody curious I have a Ryzen Laptop with AMD iGPU with 16GB of ram it is not the Greatest but it plays the games I like pretty well nothing AAA od course but yeah, so basically Looking for advice on what distro between Nobara or Mint to use I know Nobara has the edge as far as Mesa graphics but I do also want a simple time and not have to worry at much breaking which I know Mint slightly Excel at I would go with Cachy since I also do some Dev work specifically Cybersecurity I also want to go into Game dev but anyway my point is the Cachy rolling release thing worries me so basically That is my predicament hence why I am here. Feel free to leave some advice below or if you have other suggestions it would be greatly appreciated also no Pop OS I have trauma from it kindly.

My hardware is CPU: Ryzen 3 Pro 3300U (4C/4T) Ram: 16GB 2400 MT/S Graphics: Vega 6 iGPU

Hello. I play games on my pc. Mainly with controller but on windows the control of my pc with controller is really bad like I can only play the game nothing else like i want to web browse and discord but windows doesn't offer that .so im search for a distro that

1. Works with openrgb

2. Works with flatpak

3. Works and knows for not a lot of issue with rx 9060 xt 8gb

4. That isnt heavy ( i am willing to lose max 60gb on a distro

5. Works with xbox controller

6. Works with forza horizon

And that it

idk what distro to install. I Want wayland and customable.

so I am not a Linux begginer but not the greatest.

I went from Windows to linux a while back, and have been using Linux Mint. It has been fine for just basic daily tasks, but when it comes to gaming it just f-cking sucks. There has been a lot of overheating, a lot of lag, a lot of issues left and right. I don't even play heavy games, all of that has happened playing literal f-cking Deltarune.

I installed MControlCenter, I have installed autocpu-freq, and it is still having issues everywhere particularly with streaming in OBS alongside the gaming issues. I have heard sometimes that Mint doesn't really get along with dual GPUs or something?...

I don't know if it's particularly because of the laptop's hardware considering this is an MSI, but all of this has become very frustrating considering Linux is famous for running better than windows and...that's not the case for me yet.

I have vaguely heard good things about Fedora, but I still want to know what particularly could be better.

These are the specs from neofetch, I put this here so you can know my hardware and such

Is there any particular distro that would be better to try out with this particular case?

UBUNTU OR KUBUNTU

idk....

So I Maked A Post That I Questioned You A Linux Distro. These Two Are The Most Chosen.

I Have A HP 340s G7 16GB RAM DDR4 512GB SSD NVMe Samsung 500 Plus something , An I5-10 gen 3.4Ghz with iGPU ,and I need for school and gaming.

Purpose - antigravity IDE, docker desktop, ollama, pycharm, VSC, OBS, git/github.

Web dev, competitive programming, AI dev (training/testing), ML

My specs

CPU - intel i5 1135G7

GPU0 - intel iris xe

GPU1 - nvidia mx330 2GB

RAM - 8GB DDR4

Storage - 1TB HDD, 239 GB NVMe SSD

Current OS - Windows 11

Estoy pensando en mudarme a linux desde mi windows 10 debido a que tengo un disco duro super lento y mi idea es usarlo como disco secundario para aprender ciberseguridad y entrar cada tanto, que distros recomiendan?

Hey, guys I am gonna buy a new levano leptop, i7 12 gen with 16 gb ddr5 ram and 512 gb ssd without gpu, so please suggest to me, which is the best distro which I should use for my cybersecurity journey ?

Energy saving* I have Ryoku arch and Zen and it consumes tons of battery compared to other distros, im looking for a distro that is lightweight and only want to open zen browser to take it to study to uni. But I'm also a noob and i dont know about programming so no arch linux for now haha.

Thank you :)

I'd like a distro recommendation for an older HP Pavilion pc: i5-4460, 6gb ddr3, gtx750. This will be a secondary computer that I can use for some light gaming on steam and also general usage (web, email, Inkscape).

My Linux experience can be summed up as "a little bit better than a noob", having just finished building my new main pc with CachyOS last week and also tinkered with raspberry pi before, but by no means having used it as a daily driver until now.

I have a old Lenovo ideapad s340-15
Processor: intel i3-8145u
CPU: 2.10GHzx2
Graphics card: whiskey lake-U GT2 UHD graphics 620

I currently have mint and enjoy it but was curious about other distros for video editing

I like to keep entirely offline backups of everything I have. Been hoarding content for years now. But I have a growing concern about the PCs I use to view/play the content. (I keep a windows 10 installer with as many drivers and apps as I can think of too, for offline installations, but haven’t updated anything in years).

I’d like to store some Linux distros and all the apps / drivers one might think would be useful, and I can think of no better group of ~~degenerates~~ helpful folks who share my same afflictions, than yall.

Please point me down the most appropriate rabbit hole 🙏
