Best Linux distro?
Post your opinions!
>>
Arch.
It's a fact.
>>
>linux

Don't kid yourself. The best OS is GNU/GNU.
>>
Trisquel is the best.
Most of the popular distros don't even quality they're so flawed.
>>
>>60275294
Fedora. It works.
>>
Gentoo.

Once you get used there's no going back.

>>60275600
Louis Rossman disagrees.
>>
Any.
>>
>>60275294
seriously, what's the difference between linux distros? For example: Some people think Ubuntu is good, other disagree because X, Y, Z and I don't know why.

I'm a wintoddler btw.

Gobolinux has the potential to be real good, but they mess up with the installer and the DE choice every time.

How so? I do like the default AwesomeWM in their latest version.

At least nVidia has drivers you can install. AMD abandons linux drivers in a month and open source drivers perform 4 times worse than windows AMD drivers.

t. fell for AMD GPU meme

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.
>>
>>60275294
Depends on your needs, just avoid unbuntu is my best advice.
>>
>>60276856
You can't be sure what he was referring to. He might have actually though "Linux", not "GNU/Linux". Because Linux could also mean Android/Linux and thus include it in discussion.

True story

Ubuntu

Xubuntu specifically.
>>
I'm still trying to find one for me. I mostly code so everything should work. I am very concerned about upgrades between major versions breaking my system though. How well does Fedora handle these?

Antergos, because it's for people who are lazy to install Arch.

I feel like the same fucking faggots are in these threads every night posting the exact same fucking content. I swear to god, it's like reruns for neckbeard millennials. Find some new goddamn material you cardboard cutout cunts. Jesus Goddamn Christ on a Crucifix, I have seen that fucking One Piece jerk off jpg a thousand times. I've seen the shit tier greyhound dressed up as one of those faggot daddy-long legs Star Wars machines a thousand times. I've seen Neanderthal forehead man and his pitiful shit at least a thousand times. Is nothing funny anymore? I'm going to go back to watching porn with polka music for my laughs. At least there are an infinite number of possibilities combining anal or BBW with different types of accordions. Fuck you and fuck ylyl. I don't lose, you stupid fucking faggots.I feel like the same fucking faggots are in these threads every night posting the exact same fucking content.

LINUX MINT
it just works with all of debian + ubuntu + ganoo without the broken drivers and old ass fucking kernel
also anti jew devs
>>
Alpine. It's the best. Best package manager. No bloat preinstalled - full os with coreutils is 30 mbytes, no systemd or even GNU for that matter, musl is better.
>>60275600
Wow compiling programs myself what is this 1989
>>60276212
true desu. also apt is horrible!
>>
>>60275600
So gentoo is the black cock of operating systems?
>>
>Arch
Literally perfect if you don't mind spending the time to get shit set up
If you want an easy install use Arch Anywhere or Antergos, Manjaro devs are sketchy af. But honestly you should just bite the bullet and use vanilla Arch
>Fedora
Amazing and stable base install, getting other packages sucks because rpm and yum are shit
>Opensuse and Mandriva
Basically just hipster Fedora
>Ubuntu & Derivatives
Retarded and unstable base install, getting other packages is easy though because apt
>Debian
Ubuntu without unstable base install, but super fucking out of date, use Debian Unstable or Testing instead of Stable
>Gentoo
Have to compile everything and has super bloated package manager named portage
Portage is also overrated by /g/, it's actually worse than pacman don't buy the hype, also it is probably even worse than apt by any sane standards, package manager written in python = bloated shit
>>
>>60279597
>fedora
>stable base install
I literally had a GNOME crash 10 seconds after installation
