    Mint > Ubuntu > Lubuntu > Arch (desktop) / Debian (server)

    I switched away from Canonical the first time I saw an ad when running apt update & apt upgrade, fuck them forever.

    I’m sticking to Arch because its easier to install something myself than to rip apart something prepackaged.

    I’m curious about trying Void.

      That’s exactly what I ended up with, Arch on my gaming laptop, Debian on the server.
      It is weird not having a desktop computer, but the laptop plays all the games and the server does all the rest.

      I used Void for a bit. I wouldn’t recommend using on your main system unless you really hate systemd for some reason. Try adding the CachyOS kernel and repos on your Arch system. It will be like having a newer better Arch. No reinstall required.

      You might find Void too barebones but it’s nice like that. When you finish void-installer for the first time, you get a system with 144 packages only.
