In 2026, I want to change my OS. I'm hesitating between

• Arch
• Devuan
• Gentoo
• Guix and
• Void
  

Things to consider:

• I've already installed and used Arch some years ago; I'm considering Artix, excluding the s6 init (I'm not prepared for this one);
• gentoo and Guix are probably the most complex distros1
• Void is certainly the most comfortable choice.
• It's to install in real hardware: Intel i5-7400 3ghz, ssd 1to, 32gb ram, nvidia geforce 1060 3gb. Yes, I want to play light videogames sometimes Main purpose would be to learn Linux, Web, writing MarkDown and Org, zettlekasten organisation, etc...

I believe I used Ubuntu for nearly 15 years. Looking back, I was a fanboy. Next logical step was Debian based distros, as they had the familiarity from Ubuntu but without Snaps and other annoyances that come with Ubuntu.

Now, most of my installs are Debian, Linux Mint Debian Edition or Devuan.

I plan on doing more with NetBSD

Je continue aussi de tester des distros plus légères/minimalistes et plus "darky" (ça déglingue clairement moins les yeux) :

La #NakeDeb 1.6 #Trixie basée sur #Debian 13.1 et la #CROWZ 5.0.1. basée sur #Devuan GNU+Linux Daedalus.

Deux distribs demandant peu de ressources et tournant déjà bien sur du vieil HDD. Sur du SSD ça speed !

J'aime beaucoup ce côté "light et épuré". C'est "stylé" et c'est sans doute vers ce genre de distros que je vais me diriger dans le futur :)

Just next to our core OS like #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD, #MidnightBSD and #DragonflyBSD (and #illumos). This should also make the step easier to compare and test different scenarios where BSD provides a different behavior compared to Linux systems.

Thanks to @gyptazy for the implementation!
