I made the unfortunate post about asking why people liked Arch so much (RIP my inbox I’m learning a lot from the comments) But, what is the best distro for each reason?

RIP my inbox again. I appreciate this knowledge a lot. Thank you everyone for responding. You all make this such a great community.

    It isn’t. I’m on PopOS 24.04 Alpha 7 (soon to be Beta 1), because of COSMIC (and because I was having some bugs with Fedora a few months back).

    I recently wanted to tinker with a piece of software that wasn’t packaged, and I couldn’t compile it because of outdated libraries. I could return to Fedora specifically to tinker with it but as an ex-distrohopper, I know it isn’t worth the effort.

    Even though Fedora or some version of it will likely be my forever distro, I will stick to PopOS for now because I can’t be bothered to distrohop and back up months’ worth of files, including game saves and a ton of stuff in my Downloads directory.
