I’ve been distrohopping for a while now, and eventually I landed on Arch. Part of the reason I have stuck with it is I think I had a balanced introduction, since I was exposed to both praise and criticism. We often discuss our favorite distros, but I think it’s equally important to talk about the ones that didn’t quite hit the mark for us because it can be very helpful.

So, I’d like to ask: What is your least favorite Linux distribution and why? Please remember, this is not about bashing or belittling any specific distribution. The aim is to have a constructive discussion where we can learn about each other’s experiences.

My personal least favorite is probably Manjaro.

Consider:

  • What specific features/lack thereof made it less appealing?
  • Did you face any specific challenges?
  • How was your experience with the community?
  • If given a chance, what improvements would you suggest?

    yep. i dont see a reason to use Manjaro when EndevourOs is basically the same, but better (and a nicer color theme!)

      Why does endeavor OS describe itself as a terminal-centric OS?

      That alone turns me off from using it. I try to avoid the terminal at all costs.

        im pretty sure you can get by pretty well without the terminal, for the most part. although, it is arch based, and its kind of the point. no distro is for everyone.

        its besides the point, but why dont u like the terminal?

          Because it’s way harder to remember and use text commands than it is to navigate a GUI.

          I also don’t like taking my hand off the mouse if I can avoid it.
