Which distro?

Crazyslinkz@lemmy.world to Linux@lemmy.ml – 58 points –

I'm going to be building a new computer soon for myself. (Going AMD for the first time, since intel microcode issue.)

I would say I'm an expert or advanced user, as been using pcs for 25 years and set up arch and slackware in the past. I have tried many distros and would like some feedback.

I mainly use my pc for gaming. I want something customizable, KDE ish, and without bloatware. A good wiki is a plus.

I think that i may end up with arch... is it better for gaming since it's bleeding edge and isn't steamos built off it?

Side question is distro chooser accurate?

I just installed NixOS and the repeatability of it is pretty neat. I like the idea of having one file that sets up 90% of any pc going forward. Not sure how often I'll use it, but feels neat.

Interesting, the coders use it at my work for easier rolling out the setup. I didn't think about using it as a gaming pc.

I switched to it also because my debian host got out of date and now it's difficult to upgrade and I'm scared to reinstall it. If it was NixOS I would be able to redo the whole thing in a few minutes. So I'm creating / learning how to create a template to roll it out to my other builds.
