Right! I want one.

The total is zero, the Force is in balance. All is well

Wouldn't a real Gentoo user use a genuine IBM era Thinkpad?

Now that we can game, we need the horsepower.

This is a random internet image for shitposts and giggles. I considered the face to be obscured enough for the guy to be sufficiently anonymous, though he deserves fame and fortune for his awesomeness.

Babies are terrible with sleeping and wake up constantly causing problems.

What's the difference between LMDE and running Cinnamon on Debian?

Being too purist about the openness of a distribution is a big reason Linux has taken so long to gain foothold on PCs.

yeah I've tried just about all of them and at the end of the day it really boils down to "how do you like to install your shit". a DE/WM is probably more important than the distro at this point as you're going to get similar performance no matter what you're on.

I use NixOS only because for me personally it makes dev work slightly easier than other distros. that's it really. Some people want to constantly tinker, some people just want to install and forget about it for a year and have it stay out of their way. It's all about personal taste and how you want to install stuff really. I know a guy that uses Bazzite for everything not just gaming and he loves it. it works for him. My dad uses Slackware and will never use anything else, he loves it. If I had the time I'd probably switch to Gentoo but NixOS works for me right now. Like I said the DE/WM is more important.

All that being said if you use GNOME then I'm worried for your well being. /s

I'm not sure that I'm what anyone would call "experienced". But I've used it for a long time. And people wetting their pants over one or another distribution seems like a total waste of time. they're all very similar.

I'm very much not happy to be associated with the community depicted in meme - i sincerely hope most of them are just taking the piss out of themselves.

I think even if there were quadruple the user base it's not going to materially change the number of developers making decent linux native programs. So you either use open source stuff. or webapps and wine stuff like that. Size of userbase is pretty irrelevant to me.

I've been using linux for almost 30 years. I'll stop arguing about distros when I'm dead.

Also, let's be real, this ain't that serious.

So true lmao. I have been using Linux for 4 years. Recently three of my friends have switched, each went for a distro I would never go for myself, nor recommend to anyone. Yet I was just happy for them and hopeful for FOSS.

Saying this as a person who once said systemd is bloat, proprietary drivers are backdoors, Firefox is bloated spyware, use only FSF approved distros.

I'm actually hoping the Windoze losers stay away....last thing we need is a flood of "make it more like windows" requests.. Ugh..

I'm old and cranky and beat up, but I feel that pic is just touch too old as a debian user

Cachy is pretty good and just works for a lot of stuff

Not that surprising. It advertises itself as a gaming first distro and is very stable out of the box. It would be either that or bazzite for the top spot.

So far in my experience cachy just works a bit more than mint

What's bad about the picture?

Don't take those memes seriously, I think the only bad thing I'd have about CachyOS is that it's probably getting popularity as a trend, which doesn't reflect on the distro itself.

In my particular personal opinion it seems like a good choice if you already know what you're doing, since it's mostly just Arch with a nice installer, which I consider to be a solid choice with good support.

Hey, don't blow my cover
