What is the best Linux distro out there /g/
Currently use Ubuntu but it's getting kinda stale
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.

If it gets stale, I guess it's doing fine for you?
Just do more with it instead.

Hackintosh.
>>59220373
Not sure, but if you find Ubuntu to be stale, definitely avoid Debian.

Chinarepos at the speed of light
>>59220475
it's the sad part. also they tweak their own shit so if you add outside repo the checksums dont match.
it's a chink botnet but looks good fampai

Ubuntu was great until they tried to pull stupid stunts, like their attempt to stop using the Linux kernel and making it an independent OS instead, and the Amazon botnet. I really don't like Ubuntu anymore because I hate Canonical. The only other serious options are Debian and Fedora. generally you want Debian for Freedom and Fedora if you're dumb and need hand-holding. Don't pay head to any recommendations of meme distros, the only ones worth it are these three.

what are you looking for in a distro?
There is no "best" distro unless you are looking for something specific
