What is the best distro for programming type of work? Any programmers

>>56993660
Also with which DE is the best combination

>>56993660
There's no such thing as a standard distro in actual use.
Everybody has to tweak the crap out of whatever distro they wind up with.
Every time a distro has been rolled out in an organisation Microsoft has been able to reclaim the account within months. Why? Distros, universally, aren't usable as they come. By the time they've been sorted out the savings are gone.

>with which DE
>MUH DE

ANY DE will do

win7 or xubuntu, but you can work on both. You may need Windows for some specific stuff in X jobs but still, virtual machines may be enough

>>56993660
Linux is all about choice, whatever you're more comfortable with, is the right distro/DE setup. You're going to have to try for yourself. Word of advice, fuck a DE stick to a WM, with some programming skills you'll be unstoppable.

Fedora, though they should give it a new name because seriously, who wants to use a OS named Fedora like your some autist nice guy sperg.

Same

Completely off-topic but the commenter in your pic stole his comment verbatim from Internet Comment Etiquette.

OpenIndiana. You get full AT&T Unix source code and an OS that is fully POSIX. Two things that are valuable for systems programming, which is what I assume you are wanting to get into since you are worrying about the OS.

>>56993660

Its called MacOS

>>56993660
It doesn't matter. You could program on any distro/OS. The majority of posters here are dumbass CS students that only program when they're given an assignment and come here to shitpost and meme. Just do some programming work instead of fucking around with different distros.

the whole *distro* thing is why 90% of the programmers in Silicon Valley use Macs and why Linux will never be taken seriously for commercial work. Macs support a lot of important commercial applications that would never get ported to Linux. Plus Macs support all the Linux apps through brew or compiling from source

any ganoo loonix with E M A C S

>>56993660
Depends on what are you developing in.
C and C++ will work on pretty much any distro.
Java, Python, PHP, JS should work on most of them.
If you stick to something popular like Debian, Ubanto or Fedora, you should be all right.

>>56993660
Most people I know program in C# using ASP.Net.
Guess what OS they use.

>>56999266
gentoo

>>56999155
yep, osx is currently the best operating system. you can do all your *nix shit and it has commercial support.

They are pretty much the same. The only difference is the package manager. Just get a buntu with the DE you like the most and add/remove what you want until you get something you like.

>>56993660
most shit is packaged for ubuntu, but you should be able to use it in any distro

implying I need any particular DE to enjoy programming on Codeacademy's free online interactive platform
