>solus

stop shilling your shitty distro fucking Kevin

>>58266189
>Solus
What the fuck were you thinking?

>>58266189

Did you just copy/paste that list from OMGUbuntu?

No.

Debian, ubuntu, opensuse, fedora.

Rest is shit. It's just too much. If they just develop this distros, linux would just be much better.

>>58266189
No mention of Debian. Dropped.

Hi there. 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.

discarded.

>>58266417
Completely agree.

The linux community is too splintered into meme distros and redundant BS. If people could narrow down their focus then there'd be better development, leading to better software, more users, and so on and so forth.

>>58267245
Take out Mint 17.3 and I'd agree

>>58267348
tell that to autists

>>58266189
I just installed Fedora and aftering setting up Bumblebee, it's pretty nice.

elementary OS

gentoo is pretty good actually (except for "I wouldn't know, still compiling")

>>58266189
Replace Mate with Unity. Mate has compton built in but I don't like the outdated UI and 3 different menus for navigation.

Nice desktop but these wankers make me feel like a thief for downloading their OS.

I will stick with Ubuntu.

>>58270112
What theme and icon combo is that m8?

>>58270153
adapta gtk theme
paper icon theme

>>58270156
Thanks!

>>58266312
Like, OMG Ubuntu!

>>58266189
The only good one is Ubuntu MATE because I'm running it.

>>58266638

Debian doesn't belong in that list anymore after the NSA/systemd sell-out.

Devuan should be in this list.

>>58266189
>KDE neon
Is this any good?

Gentoo
Slackware
Debian
SystemRescueCD
Fedora

Nothing else matters.

>>58270655
What's this mean?

>>58266189
>KDE Neon
is that even a distro?

>>58271685
yes.

>>58271722
I always assumed it was some new version of KDE (because i dont use kde myself)

>>58270655
Devuan is still beta/alpha and has some serious problems. I have faith in it's devs.

>>58266189
There is no reason to use MATE when you can have Cinnamon. At best when you have an old shitty slow PC.

Also
>Solus

Kys your'eselfes and delete this thread.

>>58269538

Cinnamon is too buggy.
