Yeah but I found it doesn't work properly on lutris sometimes compared to just running it through steam with Proton experimental. Don't know why that is though.
I'm pretty comftable with linux mint right now but i want to peruse the wares so to speak, what are some cool or interesting distros that do things differently than mint?...
I do use my OS but I also like to play with it, that's one beauty of Linux: you can set it up and forget about it till the end of times or you can spend days tinkering with it if it provides you joy.
please for the love of god do not use Manjaro and if you do forget about using the AUR, Manjaro claims to be more stable by waiting 1 week before adding Arch's packages to their repo, this breaks the AUR packages you use which may need newer dependencies. They also often forgot to renew the security certificates of their website.
Arco is better but frankly all being Arch distros the differences are close to none.

I do know about the possibility of having nix everywhere, but I frankly don't want to use it if I'm not on NixOS. A lot of the problems I have with NixOS are also in part due to how the packages work.
As for Arch that's a good recommendation, I'll consider it for sure
yes but I've also known of the opposite, and I had breakages happen regardless. Leaving it unattended for months is one thing, I'd prefer something a bit more stable if possible. Nonetheless I will consider it
I heard of them. Vanilla AFAIK uses GNOME, that's a major deal-breaker for me. Originally I was considering BlendOS in the past before switching to NixOS at some point, I don't remember exactly why I ended up deciding against BlendOS tho
I mean, after reading all your comments my position on Fedora has moderated, but in a comment you said they are financially dependent on RH. Now sure, right now RH doesn't stand to gain from taking/screwing over Fedora and right now they don't seem to want to but who's to say one day they won't try to? I don't trust corporations for many reasons so having a distro that, while independent in the development decisions, is financially dependent on a corporation doesn't sit too right for me. Sure maybe they will never do it but hey I'd rather avoid the off-chance it happens if there's alternatives.
I will check it out in a VM alongside the others though.
my issues with debian are beyond just the outdated packages, I know of debian testing and sid I just don't like some approaches debian has which are not for me. nothign against Debian tho it's just not for me
I don't intend to be a developer. I do code a few things sometimes but that's not the life path I'm oriented towards. That said you bring some good points. I am starting to believe NixOS may not be suitable for my uses sometimes, tho I did fix the SDDM issue, even though it involved changing my configuration in a way I didn't find intuitive. I'm still evaluating what to do. Maybe is 24.05 proves to fix my issues and stays out of my way I'll stay.
I should try matrix tbf yeah, just didn't like having to use yet another platform that's why I went to what I already have to use.
must be why the Ruzzians are axing all non-state approved VPNs. I wonder why they want to have control over VPNs, almost like they want to ensure only certain content gets through or the ability to monitor traffic. Oh but that would be so silly.
For starters tunneling there will mean having sites blocked, and secondly a foreogn government having my data, particularly an enemy authoritarian state, is no better than a corporation or my own state (where at least I have some say to what happens to my data)
