best place to discuss which applications to use

Was wondering if there's an active forum someplace or a good place to
discuss what basic applications one uses on their system and how one
sets up their system.  I'm looking into topics like which programs to
use when I'm starting up my system (such as init, runit, etc.) and
which utilities to work with (such as which terminal program, busybox
vs coreutils, firewall options, etc.).  Am also interested in
investigating options to X Windows such as DirectFB/Framebuffer or
Wayland.  Would like to compare notes with other users on the pros and
cons of the various tools and alternatives.  Can anyone recommend a
forum where people are actively interested in discussing these types
of topics or would anyone be interested in discussing some of it here?
 Thanks.
