I presume mint will eventually overtake ubuntu as it's just a most stable, user friendly, and sensible build.

    Does it really make sense to complain about fragmentation here when many distros are just downstream from others? I was on Pop! And have used Ubuntu but am on Debian at the moment. Nothing's really changed. I installed the same application versions, I'd read the same tutorials to get things done. What am I missing here?

    I started using EndeavourOS in 2022 and used it for around a year, then hopped to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed to give something else a try (why is distro hopping enjoyable? it should be a nightmare). After a few months I came back to Endeavour, it feels snappier and has some software I wasn't able to find so easily on Tubleweed (I think PopcornTime was one of them). I think Endeavour is the best way to experience Arch for the first time if you don't want too many headaches.

    Nobara has been good for me.

    Same here. Everything worked pretty much right out of the box with Nobara. And my total linux experience in the last decade is running Mint on my work laptop the last 3 months. I tried to switch over to linux gaming in the late 00s, but it was far too much work then. I spent more time getting X3 to work then I ever did playing it. Completely different experience these days.

    I tried to install nobara and it was the single worst Linux experience I've ever had. I couldn't get my monitor to run at full refresh rate and then it just straight up wasn't ever usable again for that install.

    I tend to like PopOS as it plays nicely with Nvidia GPUs. Not saying it's for everyone, but it's what works for me and finally allowed me to kick Windows to the curb

    Am I the only one bothered that protondb just shares your information like this? They have no privacy policy, no way to delete reviews, no way to post reviews without providing system info and now they share that info with others??

    If you decide to contribute there, it's quite clear that all the information is public. I mean you can see how the website is structured and what kind of information can be found at each entry.

    Additionally, the github states the following about the protondb data: "Data exports from ProtonDB.com released under ODbL" - see here: https://github.com/bdefore/protondb-data

    When you post a review the expectation is that you're contributing to the site and can easily reverse this. Compiling everything in a database and putting it on github permanently is not part of the deal, and applying this licence to it without your consent is just outragous:

    Database Contents License (DbCL) Summary: Waive all rights in the individual Contents of a Database licensed under the ODbL

    If Facebook did this there would be massive outcry.

    Debian LXDE goat

    Lowest memory usage desktop that is at least functionally complete and doesn't require relearning how to everything.
