Since i see so much linux talk on lemmy i got curious and watched a video about the common distros. How true is the information in this video? The person hardly describes why debian and arch are just better than every other distro. At least i’m definitely now curious about Mint or something for gaming.

    Yeah, you look at how there are a handful of package managers, and hundreds of distros, they’re pretty much all the “same”

    But yes gentoo and NixOS do things the most differently. But even on those you can game on them.

    I mostly want to discourage distro hopping with the belief that they’re missing out on a program or desktop, only to end up on windows because they’re tired of reinstalling everything.

      Thank you for being thoughtful! I just wanted to add some nuance with my previous comment.
