BTRFS snapshots like openSUSE and now also Fedora has it. I don't want to use a distro without them anymore. Unfortunately, configuring them yourself is a bit more involved than just installing a package...

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I would say AUR access with either Xfce or MATE as a default and first-class option for DEs. It's hard to go to a distro without AUR access for a lot of what I use, doable, but hard.
I'd probably say the vast amount of packages that can be installed via the AUR, but since the rising popularity of Flatpak, we're getting incredibly close to this.
My next want would be having the ability to make your system declarative (at least, the initial config) in a fashion that NixOS and Guix do.
@Owell1984 Having #vim and #tmux in liveOS should be standard practice.
I didn't know about tmux. I haven't heard much about it. What's it's purpose and what use would it have for a general user?
@Owell1984 @eshep tmux and Vim are the 2 things I return to every couple of years. I commit to using them everywhere so everything gets stuck in muscle memory and it all becomes second nature. And then I get sick of it and say screw that (for a year or two).
