I would never criticise someone’s distro. As long as it was arch built without any scripts.
This pleb didn’t even write his own kernel.
If you don’t use Linux From Scratch, why do you even bother?
I’d rather be waterboarded
Deal!
Just did that for the first time today and the second, third and ,fourth time aswell
Distros are like Kinks. I have my own and you have yours, I won’t judge.
I know enough about Linux to be able to install most distros and use them, but I don’t know enough about them to criticizes others for their choice.
The arch wizard who introduced me to ubuntu
Ubuntu 🤮 if I wanted to be tracked by Amazon, I would have a registered address.
Oh, didn’t you get the memo? We’re hating Ubuntu because of snap now.
Ahh yes, Good Guy Greg. Just like the good old days, I’m loving the nostalgia of these vintage memes.
Amogos is the best just saying🙄
AmongOS is dead 😭😭😭
sus
i’m about to take my first peek into linux on mint. i’m not completely put off learning some new things but being able to do that in a desktop that is familar makes everything a lot easier to pick up on. who knows, if it all goes smoothly maybe next week i’ll be running arch (i won’t)
Mint is honestly the best one to go for really especially since everything just works there almost.
just works “almost” is pretty funny but i know what you mean. i wasn’t having much trouble with it testing it with a virtual machine. the nice thing is a lot of the applications i use on windows are already free software that im realizing are a lot of the go to’s for people running linux, so really a lot should “just work”
I’ve been using Linux on and off for ~15 years and I run Mint on my main desktop PC just because it’s so intuitive and stable. I want my gaming PC to “just work” and not need any tweaking, so Mint is perfect.
There’s no wrong distro.
There is a wrong DE tho.

I swear that when I was a student, my department had a good mix of distros.
- Most students were on Ubuntu and Mint VMs.
- Students in system or HPC labs had to learn CentOS. However, my entry condition to my lab was to install FreeBSD as a guest on VMWare ESXi. Everything must be specifically partitioned and must be done in one sitting. (This happened illegally in the server room. I could not exit and hope to reenter, hence the rule.)
- Enthusiasts learn Debian.
- I don’t know what happened to SlackWare people.
Kids these days? WSL or Mac.
Is Slackware even still around?
I’m in the WSL camp at home, and Red Hat at work
Slackware 15 came out like late last year/early this year. I want to try it tbh (religious reasons), only really used Fedora so far.
I will, however, warn them about Manjaro, fuck it.
I’ve seen many comments about Manjaro, what’s the deal with it? I used it shortly a few years ago but I didn’t liked it

My wife and I haven’t had any issues with it, they’re just easy to paint as the bad distro because it’s supposed to uncomplicate Arch for your average user, but has had some certs fall through the cracks and they had kind of an asshole response to address it (thank God Gnome and Linux devs are never contentious folks), and apparently people don’t read the warnings about enabling AUR in the package manager. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not the perfect distro, but it doesn’t deserve nearly as much hate as it gets. It’s not Canonical, pushing Amazon and telemetry by default 😆 besides, it’s got some cool features out of the box like one of the better default dualboot grubs I’ve seen by default, the ability to have multiple kernels installed simultaneously from multiple streams, and while it’s common anymore, was one of the early adopters of providing Nvidia drivers on install. Lots of people have strong opinions on what distro is best, and Manjaro manages to be an easy one to point fingers at.
There are legitimate criticisms of Manjaro, and these days there are better options like Archinstall or EndeavorOS, but yeah it’s mostly just become a popular distro to shit on.
Canonical deserves way more hate than the Manjaro devs tbh.
Manjaro piggybacks off of Arch and some Arch users want to be obnoxious about it.
There’s nothing wrong with the distro, itself.
The maintainers have done some inconsequential noob-ish things with the site’s website, and the in-house package manager (pamac) had a bug that took down the AUR once and Arch users that couldn’t host their own website if they wanted to like to point fingers and troll.
Y’all should call your friends out on this sort of stuff but jabbing at each other is a useless practice that only serves to ruin trust, add frustrations and is just a generally douchey behavior to encourage. Nobody likes being harassed for their choices, esp. when they’re subjective
Do y’all Linux people have a lot of friends?
Can install that on this can of garbage beer and this AMD chip?
