Simple operating system for web creation?
Thanks! I think starting with Ubuntu Bionic Beaver makes sense right now. If it doesn’t work, I’ll go with Debian probably. It turns out basic programming won’t suit me well, and Manjaro seems too unreliable.
In terms of stability, Debian can be quite powerful, as I understand, but I was using Antergos with testing repos active for a while without major problems—perhaps a few minor ones—but I was also exploring the system, so I wasn’t entirely at fault. On the other hand, Gentoo on the testing branch has been smoother overall; I actually have some local builds in Gentoo, which helps with matching intended and provided versions. To be honest, it’s not unstable—it just hasn’t reached the same level of maturity yet.
It seems like you're referring to a situation where performance differences between browsers are noticeable. Chrome has improved since switching from Antergos, but it still lags behind Firefox in terms of customization and flexibility. There were some integration issues with Plasma that didn't work out well. Overall, it's a bit of a mixed bag, but you're welcome to enjoy whatever comes next!
Occasionally the words blend with my native tongue, haha. But I'll explore Debian... it looks good. Thanks!
Also, take a look at this PopOS review dated 19.04. I noticed the name is actually Pop!_OS, not PopOS. Probably a small typo. EDIT: One more point. Debian stable can delay package updates significantly, making them quite outdated. If you're comfortable with a more stable environment like Ubuntu or Pop!_OS stable, those might be better options. I've tested Antergos, an Arch-based distro, and Gentoo on testing repos and branches without any major problems—except for a few issues that arose from exploring areas I shouldn't have. The testing/unstable side only made things worse slightly, but overall it seems safe with Ubuntu or Pop!_OS stable.
Pop!_OS has a really nice look, so I might try it out. If the repos don’t meet my needs, I’ll switch to Ubuntu. The overall style appeals more to me, especially the aesthetic similar to System76. Another point: if anything on Ubuntu—such as PPA, VS Code, Node.js, etc.—functions there too, Pop should be compatible or it would need adaptation.
So far what I've noticed is that it varies—sometimes it goes well, other times I encounter issues requiring ports. I adjusted the setup to resolve those problems.
Think of Pop!_OS as a newer spin-off of Ubuntu, inheriting its foundation while offering improvements—particularly in driver support.
