i use arch btw
Me: Linux beginner
Me: Installs Arch
Few days of struggling
Love it now
Arch Linux gang
I'll make my way to Arch. Just have to watch a bunch of videos and learn programming first.
@@teancoffee208 Nah you don't really need to learn programming for arch, it's mostly just remembering a bunch of commands and understanding some basic concepts. Like how software installation works and what things you can touch and can't touch to not break it.
I to installed Arch as a beginner
I've only ever tried Ubuntu, and didn't really like it. I've got interested in Linux again, and Arch looks quite cool. But everyone deters you from using it, if you are a beginner.
My daughter she 7 she plays around with peppermint OS she loves it my wife has no clue about computers I got her on Linux Mint they never have to know about the evil windows
My 10 years old son has KDE neon and never had any problems for his needs (just basic obviously). Whoever said that you need to be really tech savvy to use linux is just someone scared to try it
My sister browse net and use my pc on daily...and whats funny she dont even know its linux😂
Good man. They are lucky to have you as a husband and father. :)
@Lics Norgi What exactly happened?
@Lics Norgi lol a noob cant wrap his head around more complex distros but is too prideful to try an easy distro
18:10 “Now let’s break down what kind of a person would use what...”
Thanks
Btw I use an Manjaro which is an arch-base distro got em
I'm digging into the i3 community build. I like it but I had to tinker a lot with it.
I will install Arch Linux with a Laptop next time for sure. Then I will proudly say "btw I use Arch"
@@hewfrebie2597 Me too. If I get a new Ultrabook than I'm gonna use ARCH forever... ☝️💪
@@lyspec nice good luck
Btw,I use arch with i3😅😅😂😂
I use Manjaro cause of one simple reason: It‘s the only Linux that works with my Keyboard.
I tried Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora and some other distros and I tried various things I found on the Internet, but all of them failed. I couldn’t use the Keyboard. I always had to plug in an external mouse and Keyboard into my Laptop to use them, which was quite annoying.
But one day I thought I give Manjaro a try and it just worked. Keyboard and Trackpad worked and I didn’t need to install any drivers for the Wifi to work.
I use a MacBook Pro (13“ 2016, no Touchbar) with MacOS Catalina and Windows 10 Bootcamp and Manjaro Linux (Gnome Desktop) is installed on an external SSD. First I just wanted to test Linux, but now I use it quite often.
Manjaro is becoming one of the go to Distros. I getting to the point where I'd recommend it for a starter distro.
Manjaro is really the distro i recommend. I mean, the give you a well configured Arch with well configured Windowmanagers out of the box.
I am using manjaro on a MacBook Pro mid 2012 (lovit)
I’ve also found Solus works without config for my 2015 MacBook

I'm soo getting this.
Use openbsd. GNU/Linux is overrated, with the exception of Gentoo
Be carefull with BSD - they are even more obscure than Linux itself.
For new users any BSD is not a good choice.
Advanced users will choose for themselves do they need BSD or not.
I want mine to look like windows 1.
[Floral Shoppe plays in the background]
Roland I'd rather use ReactOS as my main system than BSD. BSD is so overrated.
You're probably not gonna see this as this is over two years old, but bless you Titus, you opened up the door to a whole new world for me. My laptop now runs Linux, and the only real reason I still daily drive Windows on my main is the Adobe suite which unfortunately is necessary for work. But yes, Linux is awesome and I took the plunge thanks to your work here on TH-cam (did some of your Windows stuff too and it works like magic. That script!). Keep it up.
For the first time you didn't start with "In this video, I am going to..."
lol
Had a patreon member say "Switch it up!"... He couldn't have been more right!
@@ChrisTitusTech So next time you try some weed, and try it backwards???
Looking forward to a sadface thumbnail next!

I use Linux Mint and Mate as the desktop environment. I love it so much that I donated some money to them. Highly recommended.
I made the switch from W10 to Linux Mint Cinnamon 1 month ago on my main machine and I'm absolutely happy with it. I think I'll hardly go back to Windows after being a user since Windows 3.11...
Every now and then I install Windows 10, few days later I go back to Manjaro.
Once you go Linux, it's hard to go back to Windows
@@أسامهناصر-ر3ل unless X stops working after a while, needing a reboot on my PC
I'm Fed up with Windows X, spying, forced updates. And having to reconfigure my PC every time they crash it with the forced updates. It's my machine. I have it for a specific set of tasks and it seems every update gets in the way of the specific tasks.
Just want an OS that works when I turn it on. So I can get to the tasks I turned the computer on to do.
As long as you don't need any of the windows software why would you? But seriously 99%of pc usage is running either this windows software or browser and win10 runs firefox as well as arch:)
@@JSCB-365 I echo that sentiment. I want to turn it on, make what I need to make, perhaps watch a video, and then turn it off. Although the desire to tinker with the (Linux) system will probably develop at some point, for now I simply want out of W7 and Chrome.
Great vid! The first distro I installed was Ubuntu back in 2007. I used it for a year, and while I liked it very much I ended up switching to Linux Mint in 2008, and am still using Mint as my main OS today. Back in the day I loved Windows 95, 98 and XP. I even embraced Windows 7, and still keep it as a dual boot option, but since then Windows has become such a mess. I'd much rather use a Linux distro.
It's because of you that I'm using linux mint right now. Thank you.
I know I'm watching 2 years later but this man knows what is talking. Recommends Debian over Ubuntu and others famous deb based systems. Thanks to not proliferate the same opinion from all over the internet. Debian is excellent, you just need to learn how to use it.
_"There is no distribution that you're gonna go, 'This is awesome! Everything works! It has everything I need.' "_
Linux Mint: hold my beer...
I am not a gamer, but use MX-linux and it pretty much has a everything works out of the box distro...
Linux mint not compatible with canon printers. Even one works, you can't use two printer-office and home simultaneously.
Yes because this one man show uses the very good Ubuntu LTS as its base system.
@Shermil linux mint is compatible with Canon printers. Ive been using it with a Canon printer for years
@@shermil12 I have a canon printer, it works like a charm since Mint 18. Try again...
I did it! After a year of watching Chris I finally installed Linux! I had a bit of trouble but it's running and I'm loving it so far, so much to discover.
Thanks Chris!
@Andrew Hi Andrew. Linux Mint. I am really really trying not to distro hop but Chris Titus talks about so many it's hard.
One year seeing awesome Linux videos without trying? Wow
@@gbenselum I was a bit lazy but besides that I needed a machine to install it on and I finally got one.
I like debian most too. My favourite Linux desktop.

First thing... does it have an awesome name and logo.
PUPPY... DAMN SMALL LINUX... PEPPERMINT... SPARKYLINUX
yeah yeah, "features, stability, support"... those are nice too, but whats the point if you are stuck with an OS with a weaksauce name
"there is no marketing..." laughs in Canonical
True, but still. I bet my soul that I could go to 50 random people in my area and maybe 10, if even that would have heard of Ubuntu or Linux in general. Lol
@@theinquisitor18 none
As a noob, I appreciate this straightforward explanation of the genealogy. Thank you.
I switched from Windows to Linux Mint Cinnamon, around two years ago, I just love it, I am not interested in trying any other distros, Mint pushes all the buttons for me. Love your videos man.
I am in the same boat, I wouldn't mind trying another distro but frankly Mint has been awesome. I installed it on all my old laptops and they all run again. Anyways, Mint has been great, but i game alot and my work needs windows so I find myself using linux less and less.
I installed mint yesterday. Being from windows background, it really feels like "home".
@Travis Bare yes. Steam and protondb work really well for the most part but the 4 main games I play are unplayable on Linux. But most single player games work great.
10:03 It's good to mention that Red Hat was recently acquired by IBM
According to a Red Hat employee, no dress code yet.
I think we should start explaining Linux to new users by comparing the parts of it from Windows and Mac OS.
Questions like "what is does apt mean in Windows or Mac environment?"
It'll be easier..
I think new users should always be told about arch wiki so that they can learn (if they want to), it always generates more Interest in people imho
Very good point, one of the places I've learned the most about Linux.
@@ChrisTitusTech The wiki can't help you much. I used it several times before I realized the best way to do what I need is either "trial and error" or turn DuckDuckGo upside down until I find what I need.
And btw, there's a pure Arch out there with only a basic GUI installer added (kinda reminds me of MS-DOS interface) - nothing else was changed or added and I recommend it to everyone. It's called Anarchy Linux (which could be pronounced as "An Archy Linux"). Anarchy Linux doesn't even have its own repository and uses solely the repos of Arch. The ISO name suggests it's only a CLI installer interface but it's not - there is in fact a simple GUI installer.
I am a Gentoo user but I often end up reading Arch linux documentation because is more complete and updated and It is just perfect.
@@valso Clearly you're doing something wrong, from my experience the wiki is dead accurate for the specific issues it outlines, for everything else you will find people on bbs, manjaro, antergos and a host of other forums that have likely encountered the issues you face and get an answer. The arch wiki is very comprehensive but obviously doesn't cover all scenarios.
For example its not obvious that certain distros like Manjaro add specific packages for thumbnaill support (KDE) or for mtp access by a file manager you need gvsf-mtp (Deepin) or for extracting files you need file-roller (Deepin) you can infer some of this info through searching and even checking the file manager you use and seeing what dependencies are listed on a package in arch repos, that's saved me many times. Takes a little creativity but you can solve issues with some effort.
@@dennisgatere7821 The most of the answers I have ever needed I have found in the Arch forum, not the wiki. I use the wiki only for deps search, that's the thing it's mostly useful.
The fun part is the distro hopping. In the process you will soon discover what is compatible with your hardware.
Yeah, like how parrot os thought you dont have good drivers then removed my wlan and Bluetooth drivers completely. Now i cant use them. It had been 5 months.
@@alkaupadhyay7650 lmao
You cleared up a lot of things for me. Like package managers.
Thanks!
My first Linux installation was Slackware, about 20 years ago. I barely remember how I did it. GNU/Linux has come a long way.
Slackware 20 years ago? You used black magic and probably sold your soul to get it running. That's how you got it running. Late 90s and early 2000s Linux is sketchy AF
Best way to sum up your videos: sober. You have a no-nonsense take on this, and you're not repeating what a lot of people already say. Your recommendations are very close to how I approached it back in '05:
Mint --> K/X/L/Ubuntu --> Debian --> Pop!/Neon --> Fedora Gnome --> Manjaro/Antergos --> Arch (btw).
How come no coverage on OpenSUSE in this?
I also use Arch btw.
OpenSUSE has a different package manager, it's user-friendly and comes with GUI by default. It's bloated though and has 2000+ packages installed by default. Leap if you want a stable distro and don't want to update much, Tumbleweed if you want rolling-release and you want to constantly update and try new features.
Terrific breakdown. Thank you. I would like to see you do a more task focussed breakdown to follow up with. eg. which distros and services to consider for server functions (maybe even including prepackaged installs like Zentyal, NethServer etc.), and which distros to consider for desktop uses (most reliable, flexible and usable for daily office tasks). This video is a great starting place for anyone wanting to dabble into the Linux world.
After doing a lot of distro hopping these are the questions I used to evaluate distros when I decided to settle down and find a home. My primary goal was to find a something that got out of the way so I could focus on productivity:
* Can I easily install and update proprietary software, especially nvidia drivers?
* I "need" certain up to date programs, but also want a stable tested system that's resilient to user error. What distro balances those needs best?
* If I do break the system how time-consuming is the process to reinstall and set up the environment the way I previously had it?
* How many dev tools and other programs would I have to manually update and build from source (for instance ccls)?
* Is there an active knowledgeable community and good documentation?
Curious to see guesses about what I ended up picking :P
manjaro?
@John Smith I love gentoo and wanted to make it work as a daily driver, but of course it doesn't fit my goals. I way too frequently do something wrong with upgrading the kernel/rebuilding drivers and have to boot into a USB and go in to fix everything.
I did recently have fun with a brief stint turning gentoo into a semi clone of my actual choice by making it flatpak and container focused, which really cut down on compile times and ebuild conflicts, but if you do that, what's really the point of using gentoo instead of something easier to maintain.
xdmx Ubuntu? Please reveal...I’ve walked a similar path.
If every "Linux-Marketer" would be like you, we wouldn't have marketing-problems.
After distro hopping for a long time. My first long term distro was Zorin OS 12.4, i loved it but Ubuntu 16.04 is reaching eol i thought about getting a new distro. This time I said no to derivatives and went straight to Solus Budgie, i can't even describe how good and stable it is, the community is great and helpful.
It like the distro was tailor made to me lol.
Solus is great but they don't include enough application
And even if someone ask to add
They say won't fix
Solus was ok but I quickly gave up on it. Too many bugs and PlayonLinux wasnt working fully properly. Not even the "install program not listed" was showing up. Mind you, I ran Solus on a HP with 8gb RAM so I'm not making this shit up. Solus is a dumpster fire as far as I'm concerned.
Very informative and helpful video. I tried Ubuntu, and it was fine. Now, I'm running Linux Mint because I wanted to try a different distro. So far, Linux Mint is great.
Just migrate from windows to Manjaro and I'm pretty happy about it. BTW arch wiki helped me a lot! Strongly recommend it to new Linux user like me
Thank you, I've been trying too tell people for a while now that Manjaro can be used by the average user, and not just tech geeks, but I get so much push back from that, that it sometimes makes me want to pull my hair out lol! Also personally I use Manjaro with Budgie DE.
@@CommodoreFan64 I often recommend Manjaro, especially for gaming. Steam shows its importance, just take a look at Steam's survey. Manjaro is there.
@@MarkHobbes You are not kidding on that one, and with both Valve, and the Wine development team saying Ubuntu, and even Debian to some extent is not the future of Linux, that really speaks volumes in my book, and again Manjaro is as of right now the best way for most people to get into an Arch based system, and even if Valve has not said it out right, Arch seems to be the branch they are standing behind the most at this point.
I use Manjaro Cinnamon on my ASUS and I'm not switching back to Windows on that laptop. Windows 10 just destroyed the Hgst hard disk drive that was inside of it. I'm gonna downgrade back to 7 from 10 because 10 is fucking trash
@@MarkHobbes What games are you running on Manjaro? I don't get anything to run on Mint. No League of Legends, no Mordhau and others. Only those which have a Linux version like Counter Strike GO.
Been using Manjaro KDE Plasma 5 for 9 months after distro hopping for nearly 2 years. The longest and sustained distro for me till now. Also compatible with my GPU drivers and can really take stress.
That description of the "perfect distro" sounds like Gentoo and Arch post install. However the install is it's own animal that's not for everyone.
So true, finding the starting point is always a difficult thing I think we all struggle with.
Arch
>systemd
nope
@Deon Denis There was this 3 hour presentation about it and I still don't know.
@@lambdanil There was this philosophy that Linux programs were supposed to follow that was something along the lines of "each program should do one thing and do it well" creating this kind of modularity but systemd and the other things it connects with tries to oversee many things all at once and if something goes wrong with one of those things it can break your system and finding the issue can be a pain or something along those lines
@Deon Denis Tldr it does to many things. Imo an initializer should only start the system and handle run levels not do a bunch of other things.
For daily use I recommend Ubuntu, MX Linux or PopOS.. Mint is also good though
Is Linux Mint great. I likeLinux mint the most.
I'm going to install AmogOS and there is nobody here who's going to stop me.
KDE Neon has everything including the kitchen sink.
I love neon!
I tried different ones, but I seem to always come back to Mint.
Yeah, Mint is pretty awesome! It's the first distro I've used. I like it so much I don't want to ever go back to Windows.
Mint for me, is the easiest coming from windows.
First love never dies
Same here
Yup. Feels awesome!!!
2:30 Distribution is not just how it installs packages but also what packages it has in the repository, how often it receives updates, how stable it is, what kind of support/community it has, etc.
After a huuuuuge distro hopping journey, it's Debian. Debian for good 💪
"I don't like Ubuntu", yet you recommend Mint which is just Ubuntu with Cinnamon, but without that Amazon-thing. That confuses me. Sure, when Mint Debian matures, then the story changes. But so far every n00b who installs Mint will install the Ubuntu version. In my experience Mint is not better configured than the vanilla Ubuntu (Kubuntu, Budgie...). As a matter of fact, my soundcard never worked well with Mint, I didn't have that problem with Ubuntu (or Manjaro).
Honestly, if you are having hardware issues, I found Fedora to have the most compatibility from a hardware perspective. Ubuntu is far from the best in this regard.
I use arch is basically the pcmasterrace of Linux. It’s a joke and only take it as a joke
I love to do real work on my laptop instead of tinkering around with it all day everyday. So.......
I don't use arch😛
Same. I use Linux Mint and Fedora, though I’m thinking of switching to Fedora XFCE as the only distro I use
HA HA nice. LOL Linux Mint Mate here.
Right arch is for Desktop and playing around with a user system. If you want a system a workplace would approve of.....not arch. Arch is for tinkering not caring if you screw it up and gaming. Single user desktop fun. Sometimes you need that boring corporate beige boring stability though cause you have work and just want to get it done and move on
@@Sardious lolno. Gaming systems need to be stable too. I use Pop!_OS which is miles more fun than arch and as stable as a rock. Arch is for people who have the ONLY job to screw their system up and build it and then screw it up again.
anyone who values security doesnt use Arch (or if they do they dont enable the AUR).
Cheat sheet.
-Advanced: Anything with Arch in the name, or based on Arch, Gentoo, LFS
-Intermediate: Void, openSUSE, Slackware
-Noob: Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Mint.
The top of the mountain is 2 parties, For Bleeding Edge and the newest & best packages, Arch Linux. If you want stability more than new stuff, Gentoo.
Besides the AUR the Arch wiki is such a big thing for me.
You don't even have to use arch to use it
DISTROS: No Brainer
Mac User - Elementary Os
Windows User - Linux Mint Cinnamon
Windows User Light - Linux Mint Xfce
Linux Starter Pack - Ubuntu
Everything out of Box - Pop Os or Mint
Build Your Linux - Arch
Gaming - Manjaro, Pop Os or Garuda
Testing and Penetration tools inbuilt - Kali Linux
Open suse is great for new and experienced users even though in my experience it's glitchy and it crashed frequently
Running peppermint os on a ancient Vista era computer
Running Peppermint OS on a 2006 era MacBook Pro limited to only 3GB of RAM. Works great playing movies and surfing the web. The display beats out many current laptops.
*MX Linux* : Did you miss something?
You: *:|*
**make a video about mx linux plz {O.O}
This wannabe Distribution got enough attention by astroturfing itself up in distrowatch.
MX is good distro
Oh, just install VirtualBox and try everything you like to do so. Then you'll learn what you like.
If you like the more technical stuff: Also try another unix such as FreeBSD.
From the Linuxes: Arch is nice. Very educational process to setup everything yourself.
Most powerfull thing is when you are handy with virtual harddisks, mounting and using dd-commands to copy disk/partition data and everything around it.
Especially FreeBSD and Arch Linux are two systems that I installed on a VM first, and then moved to "bare metal" to try them.
I've tried dozens over the years but I keep going back to Fedora
What’s sold Fedora to me was the ability to set up the latest hardware in installation.
Took me 30 minutes to set up Fedora on an Asus with RTX 3060. Ubuntu... 10 hours of attempts. Broken kernels, broken drivers, etc.
Resuming my life
Try Manjaro
@@monalisaray2616 Since I posted this comment I tried Manjaro and I haven't looked back, lol. It's amazing.
@@marz-95 nice
1. If you're a Newb probably Ubuntu based (Ubuntu or Mint)
2. If you don't watch to do much maintenance and use as server a CentOS or Debian
3. If you want stable but more up2date software and drivers probably Ubuntu based
4. If you want bleeding edge but not tons of maintenance probably Arch based (but not Arch)
5. If you want to spend your time learning the system and have a good chance of having to do maintenance probably Arch.
6. If you want the same experience of 5 with the added joy of software installs and upgrades taking long periods of time to install software due to having to build binaries for slightly better performance probably Gentoo
How's that?
Hey Chris, I am a linux user for quite a while now. And I have watched a lot of "the best distro" movies. Tho your version is the one that hits the nail on the head. It is so true that linux doesnt have a PR department. Thank you for this clip.
I have been using Linux distros for over 10 years. I will say that they have come a long way. They look great, install software well etc. However, since the beginning there is a major weakness - Printers. It has gotten better but still not great. I have recently tried Linux Mint 20.1 and Manjaro 21.04. After installation both see the printer (HP CP1025nw) and have set it up with IPP protocol. Seemed good until I tried to print on a legal size 14" paper. Both would print only as far down the page that a letter size page would be. The rest was blank. I tried every setting available to no avail. The Print preview was fine. Today I tried Fedora 34 and it too set up the printer but nothing would print at all! Not even the test page. in fact the settings module crashed 4 times so clearly this version of Fedora is not ready for prime time. Printing reliably is basic stuff for an O/S. If it can't do that, it's of no use (to me) as I do coding now and then and often need printouts for debugging etc. So long as these kinds of issues are not corrected all the Linux distros are not going very far. I would rather use Linux instead of Windows but Windows has no problems with any printer I have ever had. Lets get this fixed! That's my 2 cents worth.
thx, my First Linux Distro in 1998 was Debian and will be.
i like Debian sir ! i like most of the distros of linux. I want to know more on linux then vs now from you sir ! Do you use discord ? or any ? i would like to communicate with you sir! I have recently discovered and i have switched from windows to linux and i can say it was a nice and a proper use of my step. Thanks !
sir.
For me Linux is a chore. I use a computer as a tool. I do not have so much time to focus on the tool. Moreover, many software I use are Windows based. I couldn't really give a crap about the look and feel. I've been using Windows since 98 and I know where everything is and how to fix things. I gave Linux many tries and this is my latest attempt but I just don't have the time to learn all this. I already have enough on my plate in terms of learning. However, ARM based SBCs exclusively use Linux which intersects my line of work and I've made many custom products based on Linux. For regular computing I'll stick to Windows.
Started using GNU/Linux - Debian distribution after reading "In the Beginning... Was the Command Line" by Neal Stephenson; thanks for the taxonomy, great video!
JUST HATE THIS ARCH LINUX DISTROS! UNSTABLE LOL! SOMETIMES CANT INSTALL SNAPS SOMETIMES NO ICONS ON DESKTOP! REQUIRES FREQUENT RESTARTING! LOL!?
Two months later: runs ubuntu
Thoughts on mate desktop for enterprise.....Using Mate on oios I would think it would be very useful in Enterprise
to be able to change the text labels in the panel of the single drop
down menue and draw addons? The idea behind this is to allow users or
administrators to stack,customise the menues in the panel to suite their
needs.Theoretically you could build menues to be customisable like
lego. Changing the schema individually would also be an advantage for
the visually impaired?
Is choice of Distro really that big a deal? When someone asks which distro to use, just tell them to look at the "big ones" and roll a die. About everything a linux system can do can be done with about any one of them. Your choice of Mint and Pop! is about as good or valid as any other.
This video is a disaster. You said you would show us Three distros that we should try just coming to Linux then 15 min in you say two of the three wouldn't recommend to new Linux users... wtf
Thanks for being REAL and forthcoming! Refreshing.
Thanks Rick!

Serj Star love to read things like this
Fedora is my go to Distro, like you I have a relatively old version of Fedora on that old laptop and I didnt bother to update it more cause honestly I just use it to browse some stuff every moon or so. I run Fedora on Desktop as well with Windows which I use for work cause they use tools that can only be used on Windows sadly.
I don't generally comment on videos, but I just wanna say - I really appreciate this video, and your passion and efforts for newcomers, for "marketing" Linux.
I gave up on linux. Red Hat ruined it by shoveling shit like systemd into the ecosystem.
I first experience Linux with Ubuntu but when time goes by I started to ditch and hate Ubuntu and install vanilla Debian as daily OS
And why? Because it is boring? Tesla and other companys use Ubuntu for one reason: it is a out of the box GNU/Linux System with a good LTS Concept. Debian is mostly deprecated and horrible on "new" (1-2 year old) hardware.
Debian testing is till mostly stable and has newer packages. Won't that be better?
@@julienbear5111 ubuntu servers are great when any down time in detrimental that’s probably why
I honestly also recommend Zorin OS.
I was quite impressed with Linux Mint out of the box. It has pretty much all I wanted as a media server like 5 years ago and it's been working just fine.

I recommend Fedora because I just couldn't put up how behind there repo is. I'm working on Gentoo atm so, yah can't recommend that to a new user, lol.
same sht)
Vanilla Debian 10 buster, jessie, and/or Stretch have never appealed to me as much as forks like Pardus, SparkyLinux, etc, because with the forks you don't have to rely primarily on Buster firmware and updates, you can pull your updates straight from the master Debian repos and servers for Stable, Testing, and Unstable!
Same here btw
@@justsomerandompersononthei2595 Btw
I still use Arch...
manjaro is good but not perfect im not a fanboy
Manjaro got all i need and it just works, (btw i use manjaro) ,,,,

Good luck to beginners trying Debian on desktop environment -.-
That's one of the worst distro for modern desktop PC - even though I absolutely love Debian on servers.
With little tuning Debian is just like Ubuntu with no extra crap installed so it's kind of very cool for semi-experienced desktop user who just wants working stable desktop, but that's just one opinion.
@@jalmarihuitsikko7211 Just like Ubuntu, but either with old packages or upgraded to 'testing'. Of course if you don't care having fresh software but rather well tested and stable this is good, but on desktop you usually need to have at least relatively recent kernel in order to support you hardware properly - which is not the case if you use 5 years old PC. So yeah, Debian on desktop environment is usually not worth it to me.
Manjaro+KDE=Pure love.
KDE was used to be hated, because it's using QT.
To be honest, I used Ubuntu and Mint for a while but then settled on Fedora. It works very well and it's bleeding edge yet not as crazy as Arch. For me, it works like a charm.
no reason to swap away from mint, just use all deb packages, no snap or flatpaks , use terminal and nala for everything else and you get debian "on rails"
Xubuntu, my favorite. At home with it
Kubuntu is awesome too...
Any distribution can be good or bad, it depends basically on one's needs and skills. My choice for everyday's work is LinuxMint Cinnamon, but on my private pc I still run Debian ...
When you decide to update/upgrade go to LMDE 4
