what linux distro should i try next?

requirements:

- cool
- good design
- comes with typical software and wine
- apt not yum

i was thinking elementary, zorin or kali

also it preferably should have touchscreen support

Define these two points for yourself:
- cool
- good design

Everyone has another definition of what is cool and what has a good design, you know?

Hannah Montana Linux looks cool, has great design, and uses apt.

@-ANGRY-CLIENT- animations and simple

@UncreativeError i would but the download site doesn’t have ssl

Gentoo

XMonad and GTK theming - I've just begun on my Ubuntu 18.04. That is, i doesn't use gnome but XMonad as DE, with a great gtk theme (Materia)

It looks nothing like gnome or anything else really. It's fully customizable while being quite easy to do so. I have a high contrast, dark-themed MD 80's terminal thing going on

Maybe try Budgie Ubuntu? I KNOW IT'S JUST A UBUNTU WITH DIFFERENT GUI.

Also. Linux From Scratch lol

Pop OS by System 76....its fucking beautiful

@AleCx04 Forgot about that. System76 are awesome

@AleCx04 oh my god thank you. what a beautiful os. i’m definitely installing that.

@calmyourtities i highly recommend this OS, has been working like a charm for the last 2 months with no issues :D

KDE Neon

puppy linux FFS

seriously: mint, any edition

Regardless of the package manager you want or rolling or milestone releases or whatever, cool, good design and stuff really depends on what you personally like. Here's what I personally find quite attractive, but that's just a matter of taste.

I'd say that any headless distro should allow you to make it into something you want to use for prolonged periods of time, similar to how the design choices that I went with haven't really changed all that much over the last few years.

For a good OOTB experience though, I found Mint Cinnamon quite polished. The only reason why I don't use it is because I don't really like milestone releases and default applications that I probably want to replace anyway. So for me a headless distro makes a lot more sense. But for OOTB style points, I highly recommend it :)

@RantSomeWhere um.. something over here: https://github.com/toloveru/...

Recent version of powerlevel9k git repo (well, couple months old in some of my hosts) I guess? I've still got plenty to do regarding the recentness of those, but as far as the .zshrc goes, it's just a matter of adding it to the POWERLEVEL9K_LEFT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS variable.

@RantSomeWhere FWIW, my laptop is currently at powerlevel9k commit ad14807cef372994c3ba00632117f6d43b798ffb

Gentoo

@irene examples would be Arch, Ubuntu Server, Manjaro Architect etc. So essentially anything with just a CLI/TUI installer for a machine that may not be expected to be attached to a display for very long. So Proxmox - while having a GUI installer - could be considered a headless distro as well because after install everything goes through SSH and the web interface. Headless pretty much just means "no display".
