Hey fellow Linux enthusiasts! I’m curious to know if any of you use a less popular, obscure or exotic Linux distribution. What motivated you to choose that distribution over the more mainstream ones? I’d love to hear about your experiences and any unique features or benefits that drew you to your chosen distribution.
Manjaro.
It does what I need it to in a way that is convenient and accessible to me.
I agree with pretty much all of their design decisions and am just looking for a preconfigured Arch.
Been running it exclusively for the past 3 years and have no inclination on switching.
There was definitely a time when I would have considered Manjaro a less mainstream distro, but I’ve been running into fellow Manjaro users everywhere!
I wipe & reinstall on my phones and computers more than the average user. I like it fresh and I like it fast. Manjaro stays fast and this install of mine is a year or two old now! Any other distro would have been reinstalled a few times now or I would have gone distro-hopping searching for better functionality.
I love the control I get when it comes to sources. AUR, flatpacks, and appimages are all good for me, but no snap shall touch this computer of mine. I have a few minor annoyances with my setup, and am really curious to see how the next plasma update effects things.
