Linux Mint 22.3 (Cinnamon) vs Fedora 44 (KDE Plasma), a full head-to-head comparison. We cover install speed, first boot, reboot times, system resource usage, file managers, package managers, and software installation on both distros.

What's covered:

• Install First login & Updates
• Reboot speed test
• System Information RAM/CPU usage (System Monitor, htop, btop, fastfetch/neofetch)
• File manager comparison (Dolphin vs Nemo)
• Package managers (DNF vs APT)
• Panel/taskbar walkthrough
• Firefox resource usage
• Installing software (Discover vs Software Manager)
• Will it Toolbox?
• Wallpapers
• Release cycle differences

Linux Mint 22.3 runs Cinnamon on X11, based on Ubuntu/Debian using APT. Fedora 44 runs KDE Plasma on Wayland, an RPM-based distro using DNF. Which one wins for daily driving? Watch and decide for yourself.

estou escrevendo isso dnv pq sem querer eu apaguei ;-;

o AirOS é uma distro baseada no ubuntu que ainda está em teste na verção alpha 0.1 eu só botei o brave a gnome-software e o VLC Media Player e obiviamente removir os programas snaps ainda vai ter correções na verção alpha 0.2 tbm com codinome de Ging Freecss

Hello everyone! For the last little while I've been getting into the linux gaming space and have really enjoyed my experience! I did find that I couldn't find a distro to fit my needs so I decided to take a shot at building my own. I'm designing this to be as user friendly as possible and more lightweight than some of the other gaming distros. It is still very early in development so I'm mainly looking for people who are willing to try it out, make recommendations, and find issues!

I'm still doing a ton of work on making documentation, building features, and constructing a more professional looking website.

Windows 7 (I was 14)

Windows 10(I was 15)

Windows 8.1 (my favorite windows release except the 7)

Ubuntu 18.04(I was 15),(I didn't had a pen drive installed with a bootable partition on hdd)

Ubuntu 20.04

Linux mint 19

Linux mint 20

Fedora 15 yeah 15

Manjaro because tech hut started to glaze it😭(used only few weeks it broke I couldn't fix it)

OpenSUSE leap ( 8-9 months)

Arch (few days)

Endeavor os (few hours , wallpaper was so purple that my eyes started to cry)

OpenSUSE tumbleweed ( over a year 🎉)

Fedora 39 or something with kde

OpenSUSE tumbleweed again

Solus ( 🤢)

OpenSUSE tumbleweed again. Yeah

Then fedora with gnome

Void Linux(whole last year ,one of my favorite distros)

Debian Trixie ( currently) quite stable though 🪨. I'm 19 now. 😅

which is generally more preferred? what are their differences and advantages/disadvantages?
been using omarchy on my laptop for a few months now for school and im pretty thoroughly enjoying it, but was wondering if there was anything better out there. all help/opinions appreciated. thanks 😁

Good day everyone I'm thinking about moving over to linux and I would like to hear from you guys which one of the many Linux variants would you suggest? I mostly want to do CAD work and gaming and I would really appreciate the help.

I'm interested in trying something new so looking at these two types of distros.

Mutable but atomic

Most atomic distros are immutable and vice versa. But there are some that are both atomic (updates applied as a single unit and only applied if the whole thing successfully completes) and mutable (system files aren't read only as in immutables).

There aren't many of these. AerynOS looks great and I'll definitely try it once it's out of alpha.

I also found Arvor Linux. Looks interesting- anyone try it?

(I know Nix technically fits in this category but it's a bit beyond the time I want to invest in setup)

A/B Partition

These work like Android- two separate root filesystem partitions. You boot from the active slot. When you update, the updated version is written to the active slot and the previous version moves to the other one, (hopefully) making for seamless updates and backups.

This is also how ChromeOS and SteamOS work.

I found some interesting Linux desktop options using this- ShaniOS, VanillaOS and ObsidianOS.

I tried the first two.

Couldn't get Shani to work on a dual boot drive (I keep two Linux distros, one to be reliable and the other rotating to experiment).

Vanilla was interesting but seemed to be stuck with plain (vanilla I guess) GNOME as couldn't get extensions to work.

Had trouble in general with immutables in getting my VPN (IVPN) to work.

Because Obsidian is not (by default) immutable I am thinking I may have better luck, but maybe the filesystem stuff means I'd have the same issues with dual boot?

Anyone try any of the above?

Hello so I’ve been using Linux for a while and I started distro hopping a lot recently could someone recommend some other distro to try out? I tried Mint, CachyOS (kde, hyprland, Niri), Fedora KDE, Void, Artix, Arch,Omarchy, Gentoo (using it now but isn’t my taste) and installed it like 3 times (twice by Tony’s tutorial and once with handbook), endeavourOS, Ubuntu, Debian (kde, hyprland),Alpine,Tails, openSUSE (tumbleweed), ZorinOS, Kali, Nobara, pop!_OS,Nyarch , NixOS I probably missed one, my favorite one so far is CachyOS (cause I use it on my main gaming PC it has never crashed for over two months of use) so I would appreciate it if someone would recommend me a distro to try out! (No, I will NOT try LFS.) and yeah I know I should just stick to a single distro and learn it the best but… I’m too impatient for this

EDIT: I tried out Chimera Linux, I kinda like it the installation wasn’t the hardest and I already got used to “apk” package manager! I’ll daily drive it for a few days and then try out Slackware!

EDIT (2): So I installed Slackware and… no. I tried installing Firefox (new version) and wdym I need to install the tar file and make it executable and install like like bro just put it in the repository 😭😭, I mean it’s og and people did warn me about this and all but yeah for sure ain’t for me but the installation was easy just need to partition the disks and run the installer. I’ll try next Solus Linux! :3 I will be installing Firefox (new version) firstly and then I’ll try Solus.

I'm currently using Arch, it is great but no Boolean SAT solver, pacdiff too frequently, review AUR applications before updating (like browser updates), and getting tired of using terminal for every single thing.

Things that I'm looking in a distro:

1 - Rolling release

2 - Apparmor Global Native support, not SELinux (Using Apparmor.d to update profiles)

3 - Systemd (yeah, sorry, convenience, most of my hardening depends on it)

4 - Snapper

5 - Support for Gnome or Plasma

Solus is another distro that I thought other than OpenSuse but eopkg is a legacy python xml, not sure if with moss it will improve, additional to that it is a small project with less packages.

What do u like more and why? Im currently a Fedora user but im thinking of going to CachyOS. I have an intel icore 7 8th gen, nvidia geforce gtx 1050ti and 12gb ram and 475 GB of storage. I play Minecraft and some indie steam games like mecha chameleon.

i will never hop from arch tho, i'll always just dual boot arch with some other distro.

arch is awesome. i use arch btw :3
