What distros have you tried and thought, "Nope, this one's not for me"? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I forgot to mention that I did try Debian testing. I did like it came with a recent version of Gnome. However, I did had a few problems with it:

  1. I personally found it updates more frequently then I like it. I found that the user interface for Gnome changes often.
  2. If I want to install MySQL workbench, it does not have a download link for Debian at all.
  3. I did got a weird crash bug with Krita on Debian testing. I am not sure if it was Debian's or Krita's fault.

I did found Debian testing to be slightly unstable. I decided, I will give Ubuntu a shot again and was happy with that decision.

I hopped to many distros and found Ubuntu to be my home.

  1. Mint => Desktop looks dated and ugly
  2. POP! OS => Unstable for Ubuntu distro
  3. Rest of Ubuntu forks => nothing special about them
  4. Arch Linux => Too bleedy edge
  5. Debian => stale packages (Really solid distro though but dated version of Gnome)
  6. Ubuntu => Really solid distro (It is a great balance between stability and bleeding edge)

I hate to say it to you guys but Linux Mint is really just about the desktop and their initial setup of Ubuntu.

I personally care about unique and usable distributions:

  • Ubuntu (Really excellent foundation for a stable Desktop)
  • Debian (Rock solid but can be dated for Desktop)

There are unique distributions but not usable for doing work like programming full time and other things:

  • Arch Linux (I personally not comfortable updating this distro)
  • Gentoo (I am not high to actually use this distro)
