Thats good news, cause Linux is my OS choice.

Can you afford CachyOS? I’ve heard you must be always up to date with Arch, its base distro, so it’s like Windows 11.

I’m never going back>

To Linux or Windows? But why?

Snap has advantages though, apps works across different distros I think?

I think I can handle the ads part, but the ‘lighter’ part, thats a good one.

Mint? Is it as slow and bloated as Ubuntu, its base? Didnt you need to make it LMDE to make it faster and lighter a bit?

Ok, I see, thanks for the info, man. That’s very helpful.

So the bloat is on the disk, ISO file size, not on ram or performance or something?

Are you saying Ubuntu isnt slow? The bloat only comes from the pre-installed apps, snap, and gnome desktop?

GNOME desktop and background processes others distros don’t have?

Yes, just recently, as a new user.

Not comfortable lol.

Dunno, Its Mint that I want.

No.

Ubuntu then Debian for lightweight then Arch, then still researching.

I think Arch’s forced OS updates and want you to run the latest(heavy?) softwares, similar to Windows.

Some Linux users don’t have winter though.

Arch was my first choice, but it forces you to keep up to date and use the latest cutting edge software, its like Windows. So I am researching Debian, Mint, and Fedora instead.

Tried xfce. Original, and looks like MacOS.

No, I’m fine.
