I hope I can inspire some people. I got inspired by “Debian-Z” on GitHub.
- Window Manager: i3 (Cinnamon as failsafe)
- Polybar
- Picom (compositor for blur and stuff)
- Terminal: Ghostty
- Music Player: MPD + RMPC
- File Managers: Yazi + Double Commander
- Rofi (Launcher + Bookmark Menu)
- Bookmark backend: Buku + custom bash script
Well, I used mint the longest due to its stability. So I jus t start to experiment with that. If it ain’t broken (yet), don’t fix it.
I keep looking for alternatives tho, maybe I should give Fedora a try in the near future?
Performance wise mint is pretty good, the only issue I currently have is Double Commander. It doesn’t like to be opened in full screen. Otherwise everything else works great. I hope to use Wayland in the future though.
Why not go for the ancestor and try debian itself? (Edit : ancestor of mint. Deb is not the ancestor of Fedora)
I see :) Fedora is a pretty solid choice. But if you don’t mind a suggestion, I think arch could fit your needs as a tinkerer!
