I’m partial to Pop!_OS and their desktop environment.
Pop!_OS is excellent. I came from Mac and Ubuntu and I have had an excellent experience. It can be as out-of-the-box or as customizable as you want. The support is superb. Everything works. Zero downside.
I haven’t really used Pop!_OS! yet, but I am getting a System76 laptop so I’ll definitely check it out. I hope they get their Cosmic desktop out soon so they can differentiate their distro more instead of being another fork with a few customizations and default apps.
I really like the tiling but I’m getting a bit tired of GNOME.
if you are brave I suggest you endeavour os with i3wm.
Or sway :)
havent tried it yet. As Im relying on nvidia drivers Im still worshipping X11.
but from what I have heard sway is simply the wayland clone of i3wm?
I’d like to try Wayland + Sway. Do you have any recommendations for a starting config?
I’d found the Manjaro Sway edition to have a really good starting point, I am currently trying to replicate it myself in EndeavourOS (though the endeavour community edition with Sway is pretty nice too)
Thanks for the pointers, those will be a good reference. Now I just need to get started with a beginner how to!
