Which ones do you use /g/, and why?
>>108109142I use Arch, Debian, MintI'm sure there are other good distros
>>108109142my own because why not
>>108109142Debian - simple, stableI like OpenBSD and *BSD for security. The licensing is nice too.
Windows 11
>>108109269Why?
Ubuntu mostly
>>108109142They are all the same shit, just in a different type of container. Bag, can, bucket, strewn about the floor, and even neatly organized in a hand crafted cabinet.
>>108109307Terrible quality, apologies.
>>108109307You would think thatAnd then you have to straight up guess (or google) which keyrings you have to update before you can do your full 1.5GB system update that you (naturally) need to do in order to install a single 0.2mb utility that somehow isn't preinstalled
Nixos, because everything else seems like a transient waste of time and I have zero motivation to fix or customize anything. My nix configs are eternal, which solves that problem.
>>108109335I have never had a problem like you described. Perhaps we use GNU+Linux differently.
>>108109142>why?It just werks>b-but red hat!!!Don't care. It werksThe only bad thing about this distro is the retarded name but if you care about names instead of "it werks" then you are a retard and should be better off to Arch or something.
>>108109307This. No one needs anything more than Arch, Debian or Fedora.
>>108109142mint, debian.>ybecause mint does not change that much and offers relatively sane defaults. reality is that I simply do not give a fuck about my OS. Just get out of my way already. The OS is there to launch programs. If it does that WITHOUT grinding my gears, it is good enough.And debian?because it is the de facto FOSS server standard if you do not want to suck red hat dick.
>>108109327Slackware strong, go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrI chalk its longevity to how it handles installing software. Always go with your first guess. ;3
>>108109418I would agree, but if you want more control over your hardware, Gentoo, Nix/Guix, or Void are just better.
arch linux of course
>>108109569>I... I would have liked if I-Intel had told me something
>>108109142For personal use Gentoo. If I'm recommending a distro to others I usually go with Fedora, before I used to go with Debian but I think the corpse has started to rot a bit cause it's not been a great time when I've tried it out the last two years, they need to clean out the repos cause half the shit in there is so out of date it doesn't even work anymore.
I used Fedora for 2 years, then at the start of the year I switched to Ubuntu LTS. I like both but I think I prefer Ubuntu as with fedora I've had problems with bad kernels where for a month I couldn't open or close my computer properly. Took them a while to fix it. On Ubuntu the kernel updates aren't as frequent and they are longer tested before released to HWE.Ubuntu also loads way faster than Fedora.The main reason I switched was because Fedora updates too often. Ubuntu LTS pushes its update every 2 years, you just get new kernels and mesa tested from the interim releases every 6 months. I think this system is perfect unless you need more frequent kernel updates if you buy very new hardware then Fedora might be better for you.The only downside to Ubuntu isn't so much the snaps, but the fact that it enforces them so much. I installed firefox as a .deb and when I updated it "upgraded" my .deb firefox for a snap one eventhough I didn't want that. I wouldn't mind so much if snap just existed and wasn't pushed so you had the choice of using it or not but now it's pushed. But this is the only downside to Ubuntu for me coming from Fedora.
>>108109142used void for 10 or so years, no complaints
Void, it's like arch but doesnt break for me
>>108110978>forgot the whyInitially to be a hipster and run something without systemd. Found runit and its service container very intuitive, and I really like their user repository.This is purely for home and private computing, mind you. On servers I tend to just gravitate towards Debian because it werks
>>108109142This one. Also a little bit of Arch and Debian on the side since I have multiple devices.
Slackware or PCLinuxOS. Maybe OpenMandriva.
MX Linux. I like that it is Debian based, systemd is optional, it’s portable, and it’s easy as hell to use with some nice tools out of the box
>>108109142Microsoft's Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 (21H2) en-US x64
>>108111708GNU/Linux, not Microslop Windows.
