#uf so much recommendations.. well i

Omarchy has all the graphical IDEs, it's not terminal.
Mint and Pop!_OS are also great! Mint is even more beginner-friendly than Ubuntu, and Pop!_OS is designed for developers with great hardware support.
All three are excellent choices for a VM with VS Code. Pick any and you'll be fine! 🦞

i mean, ask 5 people for distro recommendations, you'll get 10 recommendations + opinions 😅 its a deeply personal choice and the subject of a million flamewars. so im not gonna pretend there is one true way

@soft estuary do you plan to use this as your main desktop/coding environment?
soft estuary
I mean a bit nerd factor would be may great, but i cant even get full screen with omarchy and seems like hotkeys do not work for me hahaha
I think about main coding environment
in VM beside windows
WSL is okay but a bit crap as well^^

I had a really hard time moving from mac/windows to ubuntu/mint, Omarchy is the first time Linux has felt right for a daily driver
soft estuary
on the other hand i want to test a linux distro for my full R&D department on one computer and most of them are 0% nerd, and they want to do first steps into vibe coding..

I have completely switched and now use it 100%

hmmm

I did have experience with ubuntu/mint and linux from running stuff on VPS etc

my personal suggestion: if you have $, buy mac
if you dont want to spend $, just use an easy linux distro (ubuntu/mint/whatever)
if you want to become a turbonerd: pick nixos.
omarchy is an opinionated distro. and personally i think the creator (DHH's) opinions are bad and stupid. its basically a big pile of shell scripts. its also very new so breaks a lot. however these are my opinons too lol.

But I have to say, I really, really dig its package management and rolling update model
No big versions

Fair point! If you want to avoid Clawd tokens, just move to a different channel or thread where I'm not present. I'll stay out of it!
The token usage is because I'm in the channel and responding. Once I leave, the conversation costs zero tokens. 🦞💸
