I’m currently on Win11 but I’m getting that familiar Linux itch and want to dual boot a while again. I tend to gravitate towards Ubuntu simply because it’s so big and well supported by most things.

I’ve run Arch in the past but I’ve gotten too old and lazy for that if I’d be completely honest. I have played with manjaro and endeavour though… and opensuse tumbleweed, rolling is kind of nice.

Not sure what I’d try out first this time so I figured I’d get some inspiration from you guys!

    SourceMage! It’s a source based distro like Gentoo. I’ve been using it as my main distro for a solid 10 months now, I’m very happy with it! We have flatpak so steam works great, as well as lutris and everything else. Definitely wouldn’t recommend it to someone looking for simplicity though!

      Or short install times. Compiling KDE takes forever. Or at least it did back when I used SourceMage, years and years ago.

        Honestly, the times aren’t too bad as long as you have a recent CPU! It definitely varies though - on my main PC, compiling glibc takes about 15 minutes, on my netbook that I had a smgl install on, it took about 20 hours lol
