I want to like bookworm, but it just doesn't work well for me.

Calamares is OK, though I wish more distros gave options in the install for a variety of desktops/windows managers. Arch distros like ArcoLinux do this well, but some of the apps I'd like to use don't always work as well as I'd like. For some reason, Fedora distros have been the better distros for the type of apps I use. Debian distros are a close second, but Xorg displays are showing their age/limitations. Plasma is hit and miss, with Wayland being the best and most optimal for my laptop, especially with Hyprland.

@_sneer_ - Mageia is one I'd like to try again, but I'm waiting to try out version 10. Considering how their releases go, it could be out as soon as Aug., or as late as Nov.

@palinurosec9154 - True, but it also depends on what the distro gives for choices. Not sure if Fedora still has it, but they did have Hyprland in their repository, making it relatively easy to add on after installation. It's not as optimal as having the option during install, but at least it's an option. Either that, or have a choice of ISOs pre-built with the desktop/window managers to choose from. But, I get it. Some distros prefer to only develop on their flagship, with setting they prefer, or consider most optimal to them. Plus, there are lots of distros to choose from that at least one might work out for you. Or, you can build your own.That's what makes Linux great, having the options and freedom to find out what works best for you.
