What are people daily driving these days?
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)

Aren't people just responding to the question being asked though?
They are. They didn't do anything wrong. I'm just frustrated.
what's the problem? Happy to help if I can
these days it's pretty easy to just pick one and go, but you can still run into issues, and for people new to linux it can be frustruating for sure. When I started using linux, I didn't even really know what a terminal was, so a lot of the stuff I would read on forums etc (it was a long time ago) I couldn't even put into practice. I once got insulted for asking a dumb question with both RTFM and PEBCAC but didn't even know I had been insulted. Just kept plugging away and eventually got it going. I think PCLinuxOS was the first distro I ran seriously as a "daily driver" and I think that stuck because the community on the forums was the friendliest
Lots of aficionados maybe
Some of us really just want the computer to work. It's mostly just a fancy tape recorder to me.
