I have literally never whined about distros before. I went through some Debian based ones, some Arch based one and also installed a base version of Gentoo.
I am most fond of Arch, but after trying Artix, I found that I’m more comfortable with OpenRC as init and process management.
In addition to the latest Artix making my NIC unrecognized by the OS, the Artix forums also seem to house at least some transphobia. This is as good as any opportunity for me to finally ask the question to the world wide web:
I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T480 on which I want to use mpv to play video. What Linux flavor do you recommend for a non desktop setup? I looked briefly at Slackware, but it seemed somewhat prepackaged, as opposed to configured by me.
Since you know Debian, Devuan is there to try it. Given how almost unavoidable systemd is nowadays I basically try all of Devuan, Artix, Void and the first one that works for the task at hand is the one I stick to :)
Thanks! If Alpine doesn’t work for me and if I’m unable to fix the NIC on Artix, I’ll check out Devuan! :)
