Ubuntu's package managers won't stop fighting with each other so I can't complete an upgrade easily. Also, I hate apt. Trusting prebuilt binaries from PPAs seems a little dangerous to me compared to trusting build scripts in the AUR, so I don't feel comfortable with that. I do like it otherwise, though.
Linux Mint is fine, I guess, but no Wayland yet and I don't like Cinnamon. Same PPA issues. Has some more outdated packages than Ubuntu.
openSUSE is great, but the package managers won't stop fighting with each other and it's lacking a few packages. I like the Open Build System a lot less than the AUR.
Fedora is fine, while missing some packages, but it broke on me after a week and I had no idea how to fix it so I stopped using it.
Pop_OS makes everything about GNOME worse.
Debian's packages are too old.
Manjaro is more work than Arch and the packages are out of sync with the AUR.
The packages I want aren't in Solus. Is this distro even still around?
And for distros I won't consider trying:
Gentoo is too much work.
Qubes is too much work and I can't play games on it.
I don't like any of the ZorinOS modifications and the packages are old.
The main package I was thinking of was the kernel. I saw the recent Linux Experiment video by Nick and they were using a kernel version (6.1?) that was no longer supported nor an LTS.
This is good to know. I'm more into rolling releases like Arch, Fedora, and openSUSE anyway, so the latest Ubuntu's packages tend to be a bit old for me anyway.
