I’ve been distrohopping for a while now, and eventually I landed on Arch. Part of the reason I have stuck with it is I think I had a balanced introduction, since I was exposed to both praise and criticism. We often discuss our favorite distros, but I think it’s equally important to talk about the ones that didn’t quite hit the mark for us because it can be very helpful.

So, I’d like to ask: What is your least favorite Linux distribution and why? Please remember, this is not about bashing or belittling any specific distribution. The aim is to have a constructive discussion where we can learn about each other’s experiences.

My personal least favorite is probably Manjaro.

Consider:

  • What specific features/lack thereof made it less appealing?
  • Did you face any specific challenges?
  • How was your experience with the community?
  • If given a chance, what improvements would you suggest?

    After spending a ton of time migrating CentOS machines I have to say anything red hat related.

      Also Fedora too: really polished Desktop experience, great choice of DE’s, many Spins for every taste, the installer is somewhat insufferable, overall a great distro, but I just can’t get myself over Red Hat (and the logo makes me feel like I’m working on Facebook OS).
