related question, although i don't think it's big enough for a post of its own.

if i use btrfs subvolumes, does it mean that i can have one EFI partition and one root partition, and then subdivide the root partition using subvolumes? how would that work during the installation process? or is it done after installation?

It depends, best for what?

Generally, I'd say Linux Mint is the best distro since it's general purpose and easy-to-use.

But for gaming on bleeding-edge hardware where you need latest graphics drivers or a kernel update with better game performance, the best ones are Arch Linux and EndeavourOS.

Or maybe you've got the opposite situation, you have a really old device. The best one would be something lightweight, although I'm not aware of any Linux distros that specifically fill that requirement.

For servers, Debian is a good choice, and in my (not-at-all-experienced with servers) opinion, it's one of the best distros for a server since it is pretty stable.

And, for developers, I think the best one would be NixOS since, from what I've heard, it's great with package management and is also immutable, meaning you should have less issues with having multiple versions of packages.


as for the worst one, it's ubuntu because i hate it and canonical is the devil ^/s^

what's wrong with Linux

wait, you can have two different systems, on two SSDs, on the same computer? this will be useful once i get to build my pc. Thanks!

i'm guessing having windows on a separate drive will mean that it won't break GRUB?
