Beginner >Ubuntu >Mint Starting to get the hang of Linux

I have a job and I use OpenSUSE

Debian worked fine for me right out from the box though?, went windows 7->Debian without much issues.

I have an Arch install I did from scratch on my ARM chromebook, but I still usually use Mint.

no wolk if use suse rinux!

Why are arch and Gentoo always included in the same tier?
I've done the arch install multiple times, but I only tried the Gentoo install once in a VM and got bored after a few hours.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Depending on your criteria for "working", Slackware "just wurx" ootb, or at the very most requires a tiny bit of tuning if you want fancy shit like ntp, sudo, proprietary GPU drivers, &c.

>>57802643
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as GNU/Linux, is in fact, systemd/GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, systemd plus GNU plus Linux. GNU/Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning systemd system made useful by the systemd init, service manager, software platform and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the systemd system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of systemd which is widely used today is often called "GNU/Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the systemd system, developed by the systemd Project.

There really is a GNU/Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. GNU/Linux is the kernel and such: small programs in the system that will be eventually replaced.

GNU/Linux is normally used in combination with the systemd operating system: the whole system is basically systemd with GNU/Linux added, or systemd/GNU/Linux.

i use arch. i just started programming two weeks ago so it doesn't really feel like im a god?

While I agree that Ubuntu usually is the "easiest" way to handle stuff, I have to say I was impressed with Manjaro.

It sounds so niche, but the fact that they auto-installed the NVIDIA proprietary drivers if you chose non-free installation was absolutely ten out of fucking ten. Shit worked instantly out of the box and was already nicely themed. The only downside was the excessive amount of extra software that came with it prepackaged, but that was easy to remove if needed.

Full AUR access, full access to pacman, they hold back on certain packages instead of going full-ass bleeding edge and shit on the Arch Linux wiki doesn't need to be interpreted for how Debian works, just follow the wiki. So I have to say that while Arch is pretty hardcore, Manjaro was a really easy way to get into Arch and I believe Linux as a whole.

Arch I doubt will ever see server use.
Too unstable and finicky, it's fun to play with but will never trump debian/ubuntu lts.

I'm a network engineer and we use Debian on the servers. At my last job they also used Debian. It's a great server OS, especially since integrating systemd.

>ubuntu under "I have a job"

Your list is fucking retarded and you should feel like a moron.

Arch has no corporate support, so it wouldn't be used by large technology companies (same for Debian though).

I'm looking into using Arch on a Raspberry Pi 3 as a shell portable FLAC audio streamer.
