What are some good Linux distros to try besides Mint?

Asked By CuriousCat87 On

I've been using Linux Mint for a few weeks now, and while I really like it, I have a problem because it crashes about once a week. I have to power it off and I can't figure out what causes it. I checked the logs, and it seems to be related to some issues with the integrated GPU drivers. It's not terrible, but the instability bothers me, and I'd prefer to have a more reliable system. Can anyone suggest other distros I could try?

For reference, I have a Ryzen 5 5600 GT and 16 GB of RAM. Thanks!

Depending on your usage and hardware specs, you could explore Xubuntu or Lubuntu if you want something light. Since you have 16 GB of RAM, Ubuntu or Debian could also work well for you. If you haven’t yet, try changing your graphical environment; switching from KDE to GNOME or XFCE could improve stability too.

Thanks for the suggestions! I actually have 16 GB of RAM and a Ryzen 5 5600 GT, so I'm glad to hear those distros could work.

You might want to check out Cachy OS! It’s designed to be user-friendly and might be more stable for you.

Fedora is another great option! It offers a newer kernel, which might provide better support for your hardware.
