Linux

@valentino I know Ubuntu is the meme answer but I’ve never been satisfied when I use it. On servers and desktops where I want stability, I find Debian to be much more reliable and straightforward. I had two Ubuntu pcs recently and the upgrade gui tool would just kill itself when trying to go to the next version so I had to look up the terminal option. And looking up packages only to find out I’m installing outdated snaps where the permissions get in the way

Fedora, in the sense that I often see it widely recommended, especially to new users.

It's not bad by any means, but it's a very opinionated distro that requires end users to install a bunch of additional repositories and packages just to make it useable for the average user.

It also still doesn't come with out-of-the-box system restore functionality that works well with btrfs even though it is the default filesystem, unlike OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.

Mint isn't a bad ditro its just overhyped for new users.

Nobara is very overrated. Comes with so much bloat apps and is confusing for new users. Don't understand why people recommended it.

It has some kernel tweaks and niche bug fixes for certain games but its just overrated.

Ubuntu is decent but definitely lost its touch over the years.

Gentoo. Gentoo users have pretty much supplanted Arch (btw) users in the "annoying poweruser" niche.

I agree with you a bit on Garuda, even as someone myself who uses it. I've had it break multiple times on me, I still use it mainly because it has all the stuff I like by default (and a cool dragon theme, which should be a requirement of all distros).

Other than that, I'm gonna be boring and say Ubuntu. Just a worse Debian.

Manjaro Zorin Garuda Nobara. Any Gaming Oriented distro except SteamOS. These 3 especially feel overbloated

"Overrated" is a very specific word here. Some of the distros he just talks about their users and not the distro itself. Confusingly, he also then ignores the users entirely for other distros. I went into this assuming it would be low effort content, but it went even lower and ended up being just a "what comes to my mind when I think of this distro" list, which doesn't seem very fair towards some of the distros (near the top of the list even!) that don't have real complaints weighed against them.

Mint works and you can recommend it, but it is a mess with its two versions. The "normal" version is based on Ubuntu, but Ubuntu is already an user friendly distro. Mint also has LMDE version, it makes more sense because directly based on a "rough" Debian, but it seems less popular.

Whichever your favorite one is, that's the most overrated one

Arch in general. As well as Manjaro (the most unreliable distro ever)

I don’t do derivatives. Arch based distro? Just use Arch! Ubuntu, Mint, Pop or the hundreds alike, go Debian!
