From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Arch, literally nothing, everything i didnt like i changed myself. Now i have the perfect user experience
Devuan - A better installer like Calamares and stop using backports as default on ISO lol it's a pain to use Ceres from there
Siduction - They should use a bit more ISO's giving 2/3 instead of 5 options to make available more ISO's regularly, obsolete ISO that is updated yearly lmao
The documentation. It needs more of it.
the distro
It's NixOS, the docs could be better, had a lot of confusion and had to watch a lot of tutorials when getting started, when I should've been able to just read the documentation instead.

Debian needs a better installer. It'd be awesome if it had something more akin to Fedora/RHEL's Anaconda, or even just made Calamares the default (so long as it didn't install every single locale available like their live inages currently do).
I wish Debian had a version with more recent software that is suitable for regular use. I know many people use Testing and Sid, but Testing often has delayed security updates and it’s not unusual for Sid to break. And both get weird around the freeze for the next release. It would be great if there was a version like Tumbleweed that was constantly rolling and received automated testing to prevent many of the problems Unstable experiences.
I currently use Tumbleweed on my computers and Debian on my servers, but I would love to use Debian on everything.
PopOs
Not have 10s of GBs of updates every week. I mean seriously wtf.
artix:
adding arch repos to artix results in bunch of package issues, after using it for a while it gets to a point where you have to specify 50+ --assume-installed flags just to Syyu
i switched to arch just because of this
Release Cosmic DE Alpha…can’t wait!
Alpine linux but with layers just like Fedora Silverblue
Stop using stupid adjective/animal for release names. When editing an apt list I don't want to have to lookup "which release was 'xenial'?" Just use the yy.mm format.

My favorite distro doesn't have the ressources, so i would have the big distros create an alternative to elogind, maybe help on turnstile for this.

id have nobara go back to Firefox as default browser, or at least a chromium that's a little more palletable like Vivaldi or something. heck even a checkbox at installation asking which browser to install would be fine, anything but stock Google chrome
edit: just double checked and it looks like nobara uses chromium not chrome, my bad
What? Nobara has pre-installed stock Google Chrome? That sucks...
I just double checked and it looks like it's actually stock chromium, my bad. id still prefer Firefox but chromium is at least better than chrome
