"Best" Linuxdistro for RT, DT, Gimp and Gmic?

Were you compiling those respective projects from source, or using pacakge managers?

Not sure which would have handled it better than others. I’m guessing debian was a pain in some way?

Also, i wasn’t able to get openSUSE running in a VM for some reason (Tumbleweed?). Kept having issues. I’ll have to revisit soon.
