nowadays, I realize that they're all pretty much the same shit with small differences like package managers and whatnot. I still use Arch because I have no reason to migrate, but Gentoo is the most interesting one to me. I've installed it a couple times on different machines.

Antergos. I used Arch for about 7 years before going over to Antergos which is Arch without the autism. Now as for why I chose Arch initially, I was sick of having my distro break after a version upgrade every 6 months so a rolling-release model that didn't require compilation from source looked really attractive to me. I also like having all the latest features in the Linux world so the bleeding edge is cool to me.

Arch, literally best distro if you know what you are doing. Maybe Void Linux woulf be better if you care about systemd shit.
It just works the way I would expect linux to work. Pacman is great, it's all modern and you are encouraged to customize everything, but you don't have to.

>>60415552
I heard how amazing Arch is if you spend 8 a day daily configuring and maintaining it, then I learned about Manjaro, which is pretty much the "just werks" version of Arch. I love it

>>60416046
yeah I fell for the manjaro meme a year ago. Wifi would randomly shit the bed and little bugs here and there. Went straight for Arch after that and never looked back. Distros based on other distros were a mistake.

debian stable

i am dumb and this is the first one I installed so i'm not risking it with any others, it works good too, haven't felt the need to go back to windows

windows 10

Mint 18.

Because it's Ubuntu without being Ubuntu. and you still get the nice Debian ecosystem.

Come at me.

Arch. I liked the idea of the base installation being pretty barebones and then shaping it into whatever fit my needs. The principles mentioned in the Arch wiki also seemed pretty reasonable to me.

Ubuntu, if only for the package manager. That's the basis I choose my distro on now. Also dpkg and wife compatibility is nice. What really matters is i3.

>>60415552
>Arch
>tl;dr; wanted a slackware with package management and newer packages

i started my linux life with Mandrake, used it for a month, where i grow tired of if i changed some config file manually like all tutorial over the internet, whenever i used the cool noob friend GUI it would fuck my hand made config
mad with that i went for the complete oppose slackware which i dual booted for a few years, but grew tired of not having dependency resolution, and not having useful features on many software due dated (ultra stable) packages
finally i heard about Arch, which uses rolling release, solving delay to get new features, it isn't a derivative distro, and used a BSD like boot scripts that i grew used on slackware

2: I chose Mint KDE over Kubuntu because I prefer the apps that Mint is configured with.

Unfortunately with the rise and proliferation of systemd, it's much less true than it used to be. You're basically kept in the dark as far as (the now ubiquitous, for better or worse) systemd is concerned, and are staying out of the loop and falling behind, risking being called out as "luddite".

What is the advantage of Arch over other distros, and what is the advantage of Manjaro or Antergos over Arch? Please redpill.

Is there some major difference in installing arch on actual machine and virtual machine, in vm i got till pacstrap part than i got power out will try again today, is it hard after that, and also what is the major difference in installing on actually machine, someone told me look out for boot loader it can fuck up easily.

>>60425056
As far as i know arch is arch, manjaro have arch repo aur and its own repo, but it keeps arch packages for testing before letting people access it and antergos is just arch with installer and bloat, arch has only ~400 mb iso size which really tempted me

>>60425056
It's good if you just want to install anything...I mean anything via AUR. But if you want to be an adult and use something you night see in a professional environment, I recommend Fedora. Those saying Arch is minimal don't know what they're talking about

I guess it's a glorified "netinstall" where you end up with a base system and have to install the rest via internet from the repo.

Anyway is there any reason or practice for using Arch (or derivatives) in a production environment, or is it, despite all the apparent cult following, a hobbyist distro branch?

user repository means you'll likely never have to worry about a shortage of software, or having to compile/build it on your own.

excellent documentation.

pacman is a great (IMO) package manager.

>Manjaro

they autistically hold back packages for muh security(?), which is pretty pointless and counterproductive.

>Antergos

even Antergos will tell you that they're literally Arch without the the installation process that tends to turn people off. it's literally the same shit. it just has a convenient installer, and you can install certain things you want (DE for example) with the installer and get a nice looking desktop to use right out of the box. it's Arch, just without the initial fuss for those who don't care or want to be bothered.

Debian. It's the only distro unaffected by corporate bullshit (fedora, Ubuntu etc) that has actually competent developers. I am a little bothered by the intense bureaucracy and sjwness of some maintainers, but they know what they're doing, unlike Arch.

Arch
Easiest to use as daily driver

ubuntu minimall install + lubuntu + i3wm.

mostly use i3wm, lxde is only an alternative.

why I use it? i mostly use my x200 nowadays, ubuntu minimall + i3 makes a very light and fast system, i3 helps productivity without the wasted space and distractions

Arch
It doesn't break when you play with it
*cough* Ubuntu
It isn't ancient technology
*cough* Debian
Wifi drivers work out of the box. Hardware in general works awesome on Arch. Unlike
*cough* Fedora
Its package manager isn't bloated and retarded

Just sandbox your internet facing applications and install firewalld and firewall-config for the GUI to set it up.

Seriously, old versions sound really comfy. Every major version of packages break absolutely everything and you have to reconfigure it all again from square 1 - except there are no guides for the new version and never will be.

OpenBSD

I stopped using Linux around 2010. It got increasingly complex and difficult to manage.

Operating systems shouldn't be feats of intelligence and patience; they should just do what you tell them to.

>>60415552
Arch
because daily updates and customization give me pleasure and orgasms.

>>60444242
I liked FreeBSD till my x61 died
I used FreeBSD for 4 days but I would install a BSD again fosho

Ubuntu
It just werks.
Support everywhere.

Windows 10 cus I'm a gaymer

Anyway I tried Ubuntu for a over a year ~4 years ago. I just don't see any real benefits to Linux other than intangible things like my smugness when the normies boot up their windows 8.1 netbooks around me.

Mac OS X

Because I like the penis

I really like it though. Feel like a faggot that I was convinced by Lunduke

Ubuntu Gnome. Comfy as fuck and steam works good on 17

>>60415885
A lot of video games don't even run on windows 10.

>>60415552
Ubuntu because I got tired of whenever I searched for help everything would be for Ubuntu

Ubuntu MATE.
Ubuntu because I'm fairly new to Linux and it has good support and huge community. MATE because it's probably the best DE out there. Every other DE has some minor problems that annoy me on the long run.

How many chromosomes are you missing, devs always have windows as a first priority for PC games

>>60447373
There was problems with some videos. Maybe h.264.

Solus

Works out of the box. 3rd party repository. Budgie is a nice slimmer Gnome. Development is steady and ongoing. I like boats.

Unironically gentoo, for maximum flexibility and systemd autism. I don't have a trash CPU so compiling is a minor drawback. I do miss pacman though, python < c

Debian stable.
I fucking hate it when programs change and add a bunch of shitty features all the time, I just want something which works exactly the same forever.
The few programs I absoletly need updated for some reason I backport and maintain myself.

>>60448058
I have a real job with actual deadlines.

Arch is a distribution aimed at and run by edgy teenagers.

ElementaryOS

Easy to use as it's ubuntu based, looks like a mac for if im out in public, actually usable

I don't know which distro to use.

I've used ubuntu/debian/arch/gentoo/

I plan on watching series/movies and occasional playing games. I know Overwatch got a wine patch that makes it somewhat workable.

any tips?

Manjaro Budgie 17.0.1, pretty much ALMOST just works, except for two minor bugs but all good I still like it, it's still nice and good too me, at least it's a GNome fork and not literally GNome 3

>>60448250
that's actually manjaro
arch devs are just edgy

test

>>60415552
Desktop: Win10
Gaymenserver: CentOS

I tried Debian but that piece of shit doesn't even come with sudo preinstalled.

Now running CentOS like a charm.

What are your opinions on Manjaro?

I tried Ubuntu and Mint as the recommended Linux retard distros but I ran into hardware related problems on mint and ubuntu LTS.

Out of the box manjaro fixed the connectivity issues and gpu problems I had on the others. I only installed it today so I have no clue about it otherwise.

Least bloated distro while still having a polished and complete OS out of the box.

>Debian 8 jessie

Red Hat/CentOS as an OS is decent but I'm tired as fuck of RPM's and yum, and it being so behind-the-times.

I used to use Ubuntu but Canonical got retarded and expected everyone to stay in Unity w/ Gnome Shell and all that. I like alternate window managers and it sucked to use them with Ubuntu.

Debian is stripped down and easy to use for a person who is at least modestly familiar with Linux.

>>60448811
I did, not enough packages, but I love the tools on it. Maybe I'll revisit it sometime, after it matures a bit more.

>>60415552
Gentoo. Used Arch for years but switched away when they announced they'll stop supporting 32-bit. Plus I wanted something without SystemD.

gentoo
because /g/ told me to

>>60451198
Actually that goes to puppy linux
On their community forums those guys do crazy shit to decrease the full install size by a couple o' megabytes
Puppy linux's full install size is about 100mb

>Debian GNOME

MATE was a bit too buggy, GNOME works great. Debian has a shit ton of software available and everything "just works". What's not to love?

>>60451439
Packages are old even in testing. But that only bugs me because I always crave the latest stuff.

KDE neon
for no reason, actually

>>60415552
>Debian Stable
>Because it works and I'm a boring, friendless 30 year old virgin and I hate myself

>>60451390
Back when I tried it, it came with a bunch of conflicting/redundant graphical configuration toolsi and the UI was a mess. 100mb or not, that's bloated.

>>60451465
I'm the kind of guy who, back when I used Windows, never updated anything if it wasn't absolutely necessary.

Don't fix if it ain't broke.

Archlinux
Pretty much my ideal system atm, so no reason to migrate.

> Servers
All running either Debian or CentOS cus stable af.

>>60451516
I can't help it, I'm just fascinated with new software features and new software in general. Too bad I can't code for the life of me, it looks so much fun.
