i'm Debian user and i want to switch to arch base distro and i wanna use manjaro. do you suggest start with manjaro?
what do you think about manjaro?
I'm currently trying out Alpine Linux on this laptop. So far, I really like the package manager. It is very fast, and has had all the packages I have needed so far.
Hi all I just wanted to know which Linux distro is good for brockchain
Sure
Thanks, I really appreciate it!
Any Ubuntu derivative should do the job pretty well. For me, ElementaryOS is the nicest. Clean, non-intrusive. Get a better terminal like Tilix, put some nice programming languages with a nice version manager like asdf or any_env, a good editor like VisualStudioCode, some docker love and you're pretty much done.
I use Fedora and SUSE Tumbleweed. With each, it's Gnome or KDE.
I write C code and shell scripts.
I'm using Linux Mint(now the latest one) mainly because that was the linux distro that I used in my software classes back at college.
I also wanted to branch out of that and explore other options and I ended up landing on Manjaro, the homescreen and order of stuff seem familiar and is quite clean and well performing distro so I enjoy it too.
I often distro-hop about, but I like Debian. I'm presently on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS running GNOME 3.28.2, but I also love the MATE desktop environment.
I've often considered using one of the more popular non-Debian distros, but I don't have the spare time to mess around with finding the software I need. Between the main apt repositories, PPAs,
.debfiles, and (occasionally) building from source, I'm always able to install everything I need pretty quickly.(Incidentally, I'm not a big fan of Snap for a few technical and pedantic reasons. Good idea, just not my cup of tea.)
All that said, I have a septenduple-boot system running the latest versions of most Linux distros. That's 10% for technical reasons, and 90% because I felt like it. Within that context, I do rather like Solus.
Debian.
Cause I started with Ubuntu few years ago and I tired of the new interface.
I don't know if I could trust an OS who's homepage features a slider which the first 4 images have nothing to do with the OS.
imo.
Currently I'm using Artix Linux. It's very similar to Arch, but doesn't use systemd.
On another machine I'm running Gentoo, but mostly as an experiment rather than actually believing it's better
Honestly any stable, maintained distro will do. I have Arch on my laptop, Mint on my desktop. Both are pretty easy to install any package on, both do Vim and task runners like a champ :D
I hear Fedora is great too, just haven't gotten around to it.
Give Arch and Manjaro a try. I installed Arch in my laptop after the sheer number of people suggesting it and it's great so far. Next I am gonna try Manjaro. ;)
There's also Antergos if you want to bootstrap an Arch install. I believe Antergos updates at the speed of Arch whereas Manjaro has its own repositories. At least, it did when I tried it a couple years back. Maybe not the case now?
I did some research on Manjaro turns out they have an amazing community support and also the package support is provided by AUR so it's a green. Having said that the team although they resolve the issues they are quite slow in doing so but breaking builds and issues are address quickly.
1 year ago I was using ArchLinux, but after several failures about installing dependencies packages what i need I've given up. And now I'm using Ubuntu. But I do think about installing Arch again, but another distro based on it, and Openbox of course.
I'm using KDE neon.
I'm using KDE Neon for the same motives, it is just ubuntu with the last kde plasma.
Try CentOS in production trust me you will feel a difference in things and save you loads as it takes less resources to get the job done and also does it more efficiently than Ubuntu.
