Linux

Void, and I really wanted to like it on account of not relying on systemd, but its package repos are too barren for me.

Like, Void's repos are even more barren than EL's stock repos before you add RPMFusion and EPEL among other third-party repos into it, and its AUR equivalent don't help matters.

And Void's musl port is even more limited than the glibc version because it doesn't support multilib, so you can't have Steam or WINE on Void musl, for example, while you could on the glibc version that supports multilib.

I used Linux Mint for about 1.5 years before transitioning to Arch Linux. For me, the transition was to learn more about Linux and to try something new. Thus far, I'm really liking Arch. There have been a few issues that have popped up here and there, like getting Bluetooth devices to connect properly, but the Arch Wiki and forums often have the solution. You just have to spend time reading the articles or the forum responses.

As for other distros, I've tried Zorin, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Pop OS, and KDE Neon before settling on Linux Mint.

Ubuntu. I initially downloaded it for my sibling's pc but now that I've downloaded and configured all these things on their computer, I don't want to reinstall a new OS and reconfigure and download everything again.

Any distro that's based on an existing one but changes or adds very little to it. There are so many dead Ubuntu and Debian reskins

I game a lot, so I need the latest drivers. So anything with a slower release schedule than Manjaro is a no go for me.

GNU Guix. Need to do an Ayahuasca ceremony sometimes and try again with a much more radiant mind.

Its a meme at this point, but I tried to install arch. Ran into display issues during install and couldn't progress. Gave up and did Ubuntu instead.

I know there's supposed to be some helper stuff out there now to make it go smoothly, but don't think I am motivated enough to retry ever.

Gentooo, the only reason I' use it is so I could bring up systems on old architectures. Besides that it really isn't worth it.

Garuda. Looked pretty and tried it for a day or two and noped out. Went back to Manjaro before I figured out how to install Arch without the installer

EndeavourOS - I have tried Arch as well but EndeavourOS is just nicer out of the box. The AUR is awesome, and I generally find answers for any problem more easily than I did for any other distro.
