The answer is omarchy if u can spare a little time

Unfortunately I have a Surface device which is a no go for omarchy due to the requirement for Lux.. Lux asks for a password before laptop kb drivers load. If i use USB kb it's fine, but I don't want to carry one around just so I can log in.

Ohhhh my bad lol, found your post out of nowhere lol. I think omakub is pretty good, i daily drive debian trixie fwiw

Use void + NiriWM 🤣

I've gotten lazy in my old age, so I tend to stick to distros where everything absolutely works from the beginning, printers, network discovery, etc... I don't know if void is like that, but I sort of stick to things that are easy.

Honestly void is arch without as much pain, but more manual, CLI based. A lot of proprietary soft isn't packaged in the default repos so support is kind of a pain in the ass.

I only say it as a joke though, Niri on void is like a full time job in itself 🤣

On a real note, I'd go for Ubuntu with Oma because isn't Cosmic still in alpha and slow as hell in development? I could be wrong, haven't kept up with it, but you can't go wrong with Ubuntu

Cosmic is supposed to go beta on like the 25th. I used alpha a couple months ago, it wasn’t bad at all. My main issue was system tray functionality. In all reality whichever I throw on I’m highly likely to wipe and switch to the other anyway..lol distro hopping is a disease.

Ooh sweet, might give it a whirl then. Brother I get that, I switch twice every quarter 😂
