funtoo

it's like gentoo, but fun!

Ubuntu

reason why you get so much conflicting information, is that you have to finish your sentence.

>Distro that just werks
>Distro that just werks (for me)
>Distro that just works (for me (and I am a super autistic dropout fuck) )

dropout-fuck distros do indeed appear to "just werk" if you are a dropout-fuck

install gentoo

>>58471493
i don't know about most others, but i really like Linux Mint 18 with its easy as shit packet manager and the easy to use download center, that actually works instead of standard Ubuntu shit

>inb4 shill
he literally asked

>>58471493
gen2

>>58471493
Linux Mint

Except if you want to use a printer. In that case it will fuck your shit up

>>58471493
In my opinion no distro "just werks" from the start. Without solving problems which are individual for specific hardware Linux is installed on, it hardly ever works flawlessly out of the box. The question is: can the user resolve the obstacles?

>>58471616
by "just werks" I'm talking about sound, graphics, wifi and shit. I will run wangblows VMs on it anyways so I'm not gonna fiddle with it alot.

Linux Mint

>inb4 hurr durr backdoors

>>58471493
Linux from Scratch.

OS X. It has a learning curve, it's unstable, some features don't even work right compared to windows, and the options for the most annoying "features" (like workspace auto switching) are hidden in the command line only "defaults" system.

It's just like linux except it just werks

have fun with your botnet and shitty drivers

>>58471679
Beginner friendly distros like Ubuntu/Linux Mint allow to test hardware in terms of multimedia by running them in so called 'live' mode (system resides only in operating memory and doesn't "touch" anything on hard drive). If everything works fine in this mode you may start installing it permanently.

Fuck off jew.
Install OpenBSD.

>>58471493
Depends whether you suffer from severe mental retardation.

I assume you're a Windows user, so Zorin OS.
It literally just werks for people like you.

>>58471945
Im gonna go full fucking stallman, drop chrome, wangblows 10 and all that botnet bullshit and actually install noscript like a retard. fuck microsoft honestly

>>58471493
>"just werks"
first use? updates within it's lifespan (or forever for rolling release)? upgrade to next version?

beginner friendly distros are usually "just works" initially. once you try to upgrade to the next release, things start to fall apart. it's usually easier to just reinstall at that point.

distros like debian and rh take some more time to get going, but will be more likely to continue to work across versions.

rolling release distros will break (need config adjustments) sometimes, because that's how they work.

FreeDOS is the true and only "just works" OS

>>58472115
shut the fuck up

>>58472195
u mad bro?

u can even play games without any graphics driver

>>58471722
Pretty sure workspace autoswitching is something that can be disabled in GUI.

>>58472240
Yeah but for every feature that isn't there by design you have to purchase a shitty tool.

Like for "Aero Snap" or a editable firewall

Korora.

It's the only one I used that even had fingerprint auth out of the box along with everything else Just Working.

>>58473080
Korora is nice, I just hate RPM Fusion, those patents on multimedia software are a pain in the ass

Linux Mint
macOS

>>58471493
Manjaro. Tried all the rest of the basic newbie recommendations: Mint, Ubuntu, Debian, Open Suse, Fedora, Xubuntu. None of them seemed to have a nice balance of friendly gui and advanced cli options like Mj. All of the buntu spins were buggy, didn't boot, or needlessly complicated actions with endless and questionable gui choices. My choice of graphics drivers are available on install. Userbase is knowledge and helpful. Just werked.

>>58471493
Debian
Linux Mint
OpenSuse
Ubuntu

>>58471493
LFS

Windows 7/10

there is none. even the common babby's first distros dont have working vsync out of the box

>>58471493
Install Gentoo?

>>58471493
A Ubuntu or it's derivatives work fine, avoid the shit out of Linux Mint, it's bloated slow and has terrible security

>>58471493
Debian falls pretty well into this category OP. Easy to use, extremely stable and reliable and not as pathetic as ubuntu. When you grow some testicles and a few brain cells, move up to a real man's OS.. i.e gentoo or Arch.

>>58471493
install source mage

>>58474331
Which takes maybe 5 minutes to Google, and then configure

>>58471493

>>58471493
Literally and unironically Debian.

>>58474059
my man. i hope you chose xfce.
wanted to shill Manjaro as well.

>>58474375
>>58474562
debian often has problems with wifi bc of proprietary drivers.
problems meaning it just doesnt werk out of the box

>>58474655
You can get a Debian installation image with the non-free drivers included.

Otherwise, they can be loaded off of a USB or CD during installation. The installer prompts you when it has detected you have hardware that requires non-free firmware.

Alternatively, you can enable non-free repos in your sources.list, then download the non-free firmware over ethernet.

That's three different, easy ways of going around that problem. Other than that, everything just works and is very unlikely to break.

>not using apt-get

>>58474933
>not using eopkg

On my x220 Fedora has worked perfectly from first install with no driver issues, hardware issues, or any issues at all. Has literally just werked right out of the box.

I had a good experience with fedora

>>58471532
kevin please leave

Not even memeing, but once you literally install gentoo it just works.

arch

literally takes 20 minutes to install

I hopped distros for years and landed on Fedora, have been happy ever since.

Sane defaults but high customizability and very up to date packages are what sets it apart. It's like an extremely well-configured arch install out of the box.

Try the XFCE spin for a taste of the true patrician life.

Rather TrueOS. OpenBSD has many merits, but "just werking" isn't one of them.

>>58475172
Apart from the minor inconvenience of no multimedia support what so ever

>>58475818
Why would you use Fedora and not use GNOME w/Wayland? Given the vast attack surface X imposes on everything I fail to see why someone would chose to use an insecure, vulnerable display server over the superior, patricians choice that is Fedora/GNOME/Wayland/SELinux

>>58471493
Ubuntu

Ubuntu.
Or if the interface is too much of a departure for you to adjust to, Ubuntu Mate.

I might say Mint too, but they've been having security issues recently.
