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 :)—

    Pretty much every distro supports flatpak and butterFS and for most of them, there’s a plasma wayland variant.

    If you want to learn a bit about linux in general and the things that you might care about when picking a distro in the future, do a manual arch installation. There’s an install script, but you still need to know exactly what you’re doing. It just does the steps outlined in the installation guide for you.

    Arch is also one of the best distros for gaming because it gets new updates first, which is great when game updates break something and your OS already has the fixes for it.

      Believe i read that Garuda Linux in fact say that they recommend against installing flatpaks, which is a little ‘turn-off’ for me tbh as I really like flatpaks. But thanks for the tips, i might try a pure arch install.

        Well luckily I can’t read, cause I am using flatpaks on Garuda and nobody can stop me. Queue the manic laughter.
        I do enjoy thr chaotic aur too tho.
