MODERATORS
I actually don't remember why I lost my patience and just tried Void then (4 years ago). Maybe had something to do with installing a Linux on a laptop after using only FreeBSD for some time, and sound setup and brightness control being confusing (actually everything in Linux is more clumsy and messy, so wanted a simple distribution).
Debian I like, but it has a bit older versions of packages, as everyone knows, and also kernel versions, thus hardware support.
Fedora - I don't like the culture.
OpenSUSE - I like it, but didn't bother back then and now why change anything.
Arch - I don't like the idea of regularly solving problems which can be avoided by maintainers. AUR is attractive. The culture of clueless people proud of the fact that they installed Arch is a bit irritating.
Gentoo and Funtoo - I like them, but time spent on compilation could be used better.
Slackware - my favorite distribution, but it's a bit manual, so even more chores than with Arch. I think I might try it again.
And also Void has something just a bit similar to FreeBSD ports. I'd prefer it to be a real ports collection like in CRUX (which I might try some day), and I use pkgsrc anyway for such things now.
AUR was a security hell for me. Same goes for Fedora, which is ironic.
Arch btw
One thing that is really annoying me in AUR is how frequently thing break. Just the other day I had to tweak my settings because Hyprland pushed a breaking change.
The comment change?
If so that was fun, I updated my hyprland / hy3 flakes and I was bombarded by flashing red notifications indicating I'd caused Satan to return. Trawling through all my hyprland Configs I eventually put an end to the chaos.
If not, I guess I'll find out next time I update my flakes lol.
