![]() FreeBSD is maybe more flexible than Linux because you can use it for routers, firewalls and NAS (TrueNAS), and it's better in these area's than Linux. Thanks for all the good replies!įreeBSD is the most stable system and it is closer to the pure Unix systems, it is a direct descendant of a pure Unix system. I use it as a daily driver and it also has the best audio stack of all operating systems and other unique tech like Jails and bhyve, and it also has the best ZFS implementation and fastest network stack along with NetBSD. It doesn't matter if you learn this or Linux, FreeBSD uses many of the open source apps that are also popular in Linux and the Almquist shell is largely exactly like Bash. I'll also be checking out distrowatch to see what's going on in the community as a whole. Forced learning a command line is a good thing in my mind. If the OS forces me to rely on the terminal though, I consider that an upside. I don't want to take an OS to work that has a chance of just crashing suddenly. So far, just based off of replies, I'm leaning toward Arch or Void - I'm not necessarily looking for the cleanest or easiest experience - the most important thing to me is stability. So the problem with Ubuntu is that it's not really good at anything anymore, it's just the slower and less stable version of Void. It will start up slower, apps will generally perform slightly slower than Void, and Snaps will make your apps start up slower, security will not be better than Void, nor will stability. The problem with Ubuntu is mainly that once installed it doesn't do much things better than say a Void Linux. The only good thing I've seen them do was Unity 8 but they didn't finish it because a lot of people criticized it. Every new thing Ubuntu has done in the last 10 years has turned out to be a flop, and for good reason. I'm not sure how to explain it, maybe Canonical's employees lack talent, maybe poor management, maybe their employees have been bribed. Ubuntu was good until 2010 and then it went downhill. ![]() I simply wouldn't recommend Ubuntu, contrary to the advice of many of the above comments. MX Linux 21.2: Middleweight Debian-based distro is well worth a look Īs a third option, I would recommend Manjaro, KDE Neon, Mint, Solus, and Fedora. I haven't tried MX Linux yet, but good things are said about it, including in this new article: But in my experience, installing Void is more than easy enough, and it's more stable and reliable than Solus once installed and also faster boot and shutdown. It is not the easiest installation of all Linux systems. I have listed the specific instructions to install it here: I would also recommend Void Linux, more specifically the image with XFCE and glibc that you find on their official page.
