Fossman@Prometheus @itsfoss In a manner of thinking, #Pop_OS and #TuxedoOS are the the ideal distros to use as the companies that make them are the most heavily invested in #desktopLinux and it being core to their business.
Luigi de GuzmanNot to set off a flame war or something but I keep going back between GNOME and KDE. I am I am constantly intrigued by KDE plasma--it seems a lot more tweakable than GNOME--but a lot of my preferences are closer to the GNOME defaults. Maybe I should look into ways to make current KDE Plasma behave a bit more like GNOME, while taking advantage of its tweakability? I dunno. #DesktopLinux #Linux #KDE #GNOME #DesktopEnvironments
Modern RAM requirements just keep creeping up. But yes, more lightweight distros do exist and remain a good option if you're repurposing old hardware. https://www.tomshardware.com/software/operating-systems/ubunto-linux-raises-minimum-system-requirements-to-6gb-of-ram-it-was-previously-raised-from-1gb-to-4gb-in-2018

This article is quite interesting and I'm interested about the idea of #immutable #Linux, at least for end users. I found nothing official on the #debian wiki.
On Debian, I don't remember having often experienced myself upgrade problems, with more than 25 years using it. Not on stable at least. (because ofc I run #testing :)
I don't know much about Fedora but I had the idea that it was not *that* stable because of its bleeding-edge nature.
