Looking to try out a new operating system?

try

DistroHopper

Until this will be solved upstream use just quickfzf TUI under wayland! It's even quicker and easier to use. But don't have that nice distro icons you never heard about.. (or no?)

LinuxTux required...

Requirements (For running VMs)

Installing Requirements

For Ubuntu, Arch and nixos systems the ppa, AUR or nix packaging will take care of the dependencies. For other host distributions or operating systems it will be necessary to install the above requirements or their equivalents.

If you install DistroHopper, it should take care of dependencies on Arch, Debian, Ubuntu, openSuse and Fedora

For DistroHopper to work you need

wget yad fzf

For adding new distros, or adding/improving translations you will need also meld.
