I’ve been using linux desktop for a year or so now. One noteable thing i keep seeing is that one person will say I dont like XYZ distrobution because of its base. But I am still a little unsure what is meant by it. I am assuming the main difference between each base is the choice of package management(?). But what other factors/aspects that are important for the average user to know about each ‘base’? This is probably quite a broad question to a rather technical answer, but appriciate any answers, and i’ll try my best to understand and read up :)
I think they meant build as in configure your environment, not build as in from source. If that’s the case, they’re not exactly wrong. But once you get the bulk of it to your liking, it’s mostly fun little tweaks and accidents. It’s just a lot at first.
