I’m between distros and looking for a new daily driver for my laptop. What are people daily driving these days? Are there any new cool things to try?

I have been using linux mint recently. I have used nixos and arch in the past. Personally, linux mint uses flatpacks too much for my liking. Although, I might have a warped perspective after using arch. (the aur is crazy big)

      Wanted to try Ubuntu after using mainly Manjaro but I have only 4gb flash drive and the iso is like 5-6gb so I can’t install it. But so far I’m satisfied with Manjaro Xfce and prefer it to gnu

        That’s the universe telling you to put an 8GB flash drive on your holiday wish list.

          is it that big because of the snaps? It used to be (well after it breached to 700M CD limit) ~1.5G and AFAIK doesn’t include a lot more default software?
