What Distros do you want to shoutout and why you think they are doing well/are the best at what they do?

I am curious what is out there and have only had some experience with Linux Mint, SteamOS, and Pop!_OS

    But because the apps are running in containers, the performance will take a hit. And also the customization.

      the performance will take a hit

      This is not entirely true. Is there overhead? Sure. But, if the distro used for the container provides (somehow) faster or more performative packages to begin with, then running software within a fast container can be faster that running it natively on the slower host. Link to the comment in which the link to the above benchmark can be found as proof. As can be seen, the Clear Linux container performs better in 90% of the benchmarks. And, the Fedora container is only negligibly (so within margin of error) less performative than the Fedora host.

          Q: Would a normal system (read: I’m not talking about Guix System or NixOS) allow you to install multiple branches/versions of the same software natively without introducing a lot of headaches?

          A: No. This is literally unsupported.

          Then, if using containers (or any other similar platform) allows one to breach that limitation, would it be fair to call containers (and their like) to be strictly limited/limiting in customization?

              Sure fam. This is actually a situation that might come up a lot. Basically any instance of dependency hell caused by conflicting dependencies would be resolved if two different versions of the same software could coexist.

              • Peeps that are maintaining packages probably have to deal with this every once in a while as well. Especially if the packaged software relies on some very niche (and possibly questionable) dependencies*. To point towards one of the most openly discussed cases of this, consider watching this video by Brodie in which the takedown of the unofficial packages of Bottles is being discussed.
              • E.g. whenever one tries to compile software themselves OR install/use them as/from binaries/tarballs.
              • E.g. installing packages as PPAs or other third party repositories (like e.g. the AUR) can also come with dependency hell and are often the reason why breakage occurs.

                  İçimden, “Bunca lafın üzerine kankim asaletine yakışanı yapar da bir teşekkürü esirgemez herhalde,” diye düşünmüştüm. Ama maalesef, Türkiyeli olması hasebiyle daha level atlayamamış 😂. Olsun, demek ki henüz kalkınma vakti gelmemiş 🤣.

                    O_O

                    Tekte türkçe konuştuğumu bildin. Aferin. Neyse, dediğim gibi; Immutable dağıtımlardan birini şu an ki Fedora KDE ile dualboot edeceğim. Ona göre Immutable dağıtımlara geçebilirim. (GRUB sayesinde kolay olur.)

                    alakasız bir rastgele düşünce

                    yoksa beni bir yerden tanıyor musun?
