Original question by @atmorous@lemmy.world
What Distros do you want to shoutout and why you think they are doing well/are the best at what they do?
I am curious what is out there and have only had some experience with Linux Mint, SteamOS, and Pop!_OS
At this point Void feels like Slackware for the 21st century. It’s comprehensive and less full of “modern linux” hairballs than some others, but they seem pretty good on package updates. I like it being non-systemd as a first class thing rather than trying to backport it on an uncooperative parent distro.
Void linux is great. But their packages are actually lacking behind. They also don’t want to include many new packages. And there is a huge backlog of PRs on the package repository.
