Garuda. I wish the base install of wine actually worked, and that half the packages in chaotic-aur weren't buggy as fuck or just completely non functional.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Slackware: nothing, it's perfect just the way it is.
Debian and Arch, for me, tie as my favorite and honestly can't say I would want to change anything as I need to use the technology more before I can critique it like that.
I wish Gentoo would make important information like unmasking packages more easily accessible, like directly into the handbook itself so that I don't have to search how to do it every time I need to unmask a package (I always forget how to).
I also wish alpine Linux had an option to use glibc instead of musl
Fedora
- not made in the US so their images can ship nonfree drivers and codecs
- thus they had ARM images for Atomic variants!
- flathub instead of fedora flatpaks
- KDE first instead of GNOME (GNOME is okay and very nice in many parts, but absurdly lacking in others)
I like the rest. It would be cool if they could adopt musl like Alpine, glibc is a mess and you basically need to compile every software against musl manually to use it on Fedora.
Apart from that, best Distro ever.
Nothing. Slackware is perfect and complete.
Arch, literally nothing, everything i didnt like i changed myself. Now i have the perfect user experience
Linux Mint: Add a GUI utility for making Nemo Actions, it's such a useful thing to be able to do. I might just write a little applet myself in Python.
Also, get rid of as much Gnome UX as possible. Get your empty sandwich menus, buttons crammed into the top bar and lack of functionality the fuck out of my computer and put it in the septic tank with the rest of the putrid assgarbage.
