/g/ always says that Macs can't do any real work and are too locked down. I believed it but then I saw this picture. Wtf? Almost all of them are using MacBooks. Those people are the people that landed the rover on mars.

Does anyone use any distro besides the big names like Debian, red hat, Arch and their derivatives?

What are your thoughts on it?

I've been using solus for a few days and it's really nice so far. Software repository could be bigger, but it has everything I need.
Plus this is the first distro one used in which midori isn't a crashing mess.

It's also pretty nice and lightweight, uses 400MB ram on boot.

Built from the ground up with its own package manager and DE which I really like too. I'm going to stick with this distro for a while I think.

Sorry if I come off as a shill, but this is my new favorite distro and DE.

Pic related is a random image of the budgie desktop from google. Not going to post my own desktop for obvious reasons.

I hate git for being shitty enough for this to happen, but by god, I hate management just as much.

The time has come to kiss godbye to windows and fully embrace linacks.

My question for you is: as a total linux noob, am I better off installing fedora or mint?

I was about to install mint but then i took a look at fedora and seems nice too.

I want to use it primarly for coding (not heavy stuff, mostly science / engineering related, such as small FEM or other PDE solving methods).

Wouldn't mind to eventually go deeper in my knowledge of linux.

What I don't want is a gentoo / arch that will take me 50 hours to properly configure.
