Linux

I'm on Bazzite, so I may be tempted to switch to SteamOS on at least one of my devices, but Bazzite covers pretty much all my bases currently, both for gaming and work. I have a laptop with EndeavourOS and I love it, been using it for about 2-3 years there, but I'm switching laptops soon to a framework so I'll also go with Bazzite there for consistency and due to the official support it has with framework laptops.

Honestly the experience I've had with these distros so far leaves me wishing for nothing more, and now with immutability and distro box I kinda don't see the point in changing to anything else unless Bazzite development dies out or they make a painfully stupid decision, which doesn't seem to be the case so far!

If gentoo stopped being maintained, I guess I'd find something else.

I'm on Nobara for 3 years now after spending a year on manjaro. Nobara is pretty sweet, performance is top of the line, its stable and I get packages decently fast.

But I hate not being able to use discover to update.

So I'd switch if something had a cooler fetch logo and was able to fix that.

I'm familiar with the linux system ive done gentoo and arch but why I use distros like nobara and fedora is because i can't be fucked to keep up with what the latest optimisation are and then implement them.

Its mostly if I see the distro as unmaintainable (looking at gentoo), too much of a hassle to keep updated (Like tumbleweed on a PC i just about never use), or generally not fit for my purpose (If it dosent have packages I need, forces flatpaks, or is generally built in a way I dont find it comfortable to use

I'd start mixing it up if I got a new computer and could play around more on my current laptop.

I'm attracted by Alpine Linux, but it lacks an official way to use glibc for the programs that unfortunately use some glibc extension...

The slightest praise for another distro / other feature that I fixate on for a month. I tend to hop.

I don't care about my distro. The choice I make when decicing on a distribution is entirely based on use case. I have LMDE on my server. I have Mint Cinnamon on my macbook. I use arch when I'm doing minimal installs for basic functionality. I don't have a distro of choice for ARM, I've used rasbian and I use muOS on my rg35xxsp. I've been looking at learning gentoo and deploying that for raspberry pi as I have some projects in mind for some micro arcade cabinets and want as little overhead as possible in regards to background processes

Shadow updating their Linux app to support anything other than Ubuntu 20.04...
It's the only reason I use it, and it's weird and bad that they only support that distro and version (which has reached EOL). I've talked to them about it and all they say is "We see the need from users for support of newer Ubuntu versions and other distros" which is such a nothingburger of an answer. I spent three days with several other distros and Ubuntu versions trying to figure out a fix but sadly never found one. I just wanna use Linux Mint or anything other than Ubuntu, especially a 5 year old version.

I use Fedora Asahi Remix currently, and I want to switch to NixOS but am uncertain about the MacBook support, and even if it was good switching would take longer than it's worth unless my current installation stops working for whatever reason

Hardware bugs/support, and Snap.
