I have always been discovering new things about Linux distros while distro hopping. And when I get something I really like, I just copy the package name and make sure I install it in every distro I use in the future.

Let me start:

  1. Clipboard manager (Gpaste)
  2. KDE connect

    BTRFS snapshots like openSUSE and now also Fedora has it. I don’t want to use a distro without them anymore. Unfortunately, configuring them yourself is a bit more involved than just installing a package…

    I would say AUR access with either Xfce or MATE as a default and first-class option for DEs. It’s hard to go to a distro without AUR access for a lot of what I use, doable, but hard.

    I’d probably say the vast amount of packages that can be installed via the AUR, but since the rising popularity of Flatpak, we’re getting incredibly close to this.

    My next want would be having the ability to make your system declarative (at least, the initial config) in a fashion that NixOS and Guix do.

      I didn’t know about tmux. I haven’t heard much about it. What’s it’s purpose and what use would it have for a general user?

        @Owell1984 @eshep tmux and Vim are the 2 things I return to every couple of years. I commit to using them everywhere so everything gets stuck in muscle memory and it all becomes second nature. And then I get sick of it and say screw that (for a year or two).
