I use Arch by the way.

I use Arch and only use Vim or Emacs for config files. That's Linux flex culture right there. 🙂

Pathetic and bloated. Nano is all you need

Vim or Emacs? Stick to one, you editor two timer!

The best text editor is xed, I will take no further questions.

Jokes aside though, it's so simple and basic, I love it precisely because of that.

I use Debian with the Linux-libre kernel and OpenRC, relatively the same experience but without the AUR.

Debian unstable for all 11 of us crazy fuckers out there.

Tbh, I haven't experienced too many issues other then modifying a couple prgrams to be compatible with OpenRC. On my main desktop I use Debian 12 and Systemd with my 2080 SUPER and haven't encountered any issues.

Although, when I tried to install the open kernel version of the NVIDIA driver, my system didn't like it, so I ended up installing the full proprietary driver and it works well. Will be switching to AMD once I need to buy another graphics card.

(I use Gnome as my DE with two 1440p 144hz monitors)

Wait, you use Unstable? My favorite DM still does, but basically noone is both tech savvy enough, and crazy enough to use Unstable Debian. That's just a Sisyphean task.

The guys that run Unstable Debian end up creating bug reports like this:

I'm already sitting there, sipping beer while my Gentoo gently compiles. :-D
