    Im using what DE provides by default. If You do not know what You need from terminal that means You probably do not need anything more. Make a switch when You want something particular. On the other note I think You might be more interested in different shell rather than terminal. So fir example zsh or fish (You are most likely currently using bash)

    I see. Im asking because software in debian is old and so I wonder if this bothers desktop debian users or maybe they like it this way. If I were a debian user I would probably stay on testing to get some packages faster. Thanks for a reply!



  • Fedora. Reason is probably that im used to it now. But if I have to make some points why then there they are:

    • nice balance between being up-to-date and not bleeding edge
    • new technologies. Fedora always pushes new technologies first such as wayland, pipewire, systemd… I like it. I dont have to wait 2 years until x distro rolls it. I get it now, sometimes with some problems but nothing that i couldnt manage.
    • When im trying out some software or building from source the documentation often includes specific steps for fedora (among debian, ubuntu and arch). Its really nice to not be a niche distro and get instructions tailored for fedora. Also some pre build packages are often in deb and rpm. -im used to dnf and its few handy commands like dnf history etc. Im sure that other package managers offer similar solutions but i know dnf and it feels like home
