So been trying out Garuda Linux for a while now (my first distro), but feel ready to try another distro. Therefore looking for a distro that suits my preferred requirements, anyone has any tips?

  • Uses Wayland
  • Supports flatpak
  • ButterFS format
  • KDE Plasma
  • "Good for gaming"

Note: Got nothing negative about Garuda, I just want to explore the options out there :)---

Don't laugh, hear me out...

Slackware current (rolling release)

Then switch to LTS version at the next release, which I'm thinking will happen before the end of the yeay.

It checks all of your boxes and will give you a different take on Linux computing.

I think from Garuda to slackware is too large of a leap

I honestly don't know anything about Garuda. I don't have much meaningful experience with any distro besides slackware. I've had an empty 50gb distrohop partition for months. I was going to give vanilla arch btw a try to see what all the fuss is about, but I haven't gotten around to it.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
