Help me choose a distro
I have literally never whined about distros before. I went through some Debian based ones, some Arch based one and also installed a base version of Gentoo.
I am most fond of Arch, but after trying Artix, I found that I'm more comfortable with OpenRC as init and process management.
In addition to the latest Artix making my NIC unrecognized by the OS, the Artix forums also seem to house at least some transphobia. This is as good as any opportunity for me to finally ask the question to the world wide web:
I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T480 on which I want to use mpv to play video. What Linux flavor do you recommend for a non desktop setup? I looked briefly at Slackware, but it seemed somewhat prepackaged, as opposed to configured by me.

in reply to printf("%s", name); • • •Arch (based) - if you like to customize every detail of your OS
Nixos - if you like to customize every detail of your OS and you are tired of breaking your system constantly
PopOS - if you would like to stop customizing your system and want to get used to great defaults
Mint - you just want things to work
CachyOS or Bazzite - if you want to play games
