    Mint > Ubuntu > Lubuntu > Arch (desktop) / Debian (server)

    I switched away from Canonical the first time I saw an ad when running apt update & apt upgrade, fuck them forever.

    I’m sticking to Arch because its easier to install something myself than to rip apart something prepackaged.

    I’m curious about trying Void.

      That’s exactly what I ended up with, Arch on my gaming laptop, Debian on the server.
      It is weird not having a desktop computer, but the laptop plays all the games and the server does all the rest.

      You might find Void too barebones but it’s nice like that. When you finish void-installer for the first time, you get a system with 144 packages only.

      Big love to void. It was my go-to to install for the longest while. Still always a cornerstone of all my systems. Still my first go-to to get packages from, and is surprisingly well stocked for such a “little”(?) “new”(?) distro.
