Ubuntu and Slackware.

Ubuntu makes life with Programming Penguin easier. It's kinda stable and I have an easy access to new packages via PPAs.

Slackware is installed on my notebook. I love how much freedom and control it gives to a user. It could be a bit more modern, though but I guess ancient packages is a must of you want a stable server like system.

>>61590182
I always hear that Slackware is great but why? It uses KDE4 and a package manager without auto resolving of dependencies. There is nothing great about it.

>>61587086
this.

>>61590241
>KDE4
Yep, that's a horrible and outdated DE. Don't know why Slackware uses it as a default alongside XFCE.
>package manager without auto resolving of dependencies
That's kinda of the point. You install everything manually, therefore you know everything about your system. BUT! There is a thing called Sbotools that automaticly installs all the necessary dependencies for a package. That's a great thing about Slackware - it can be anything you want it to be. And I actually find it easier to setup then something like Debian so it would just werk.

>you do have a choice of package managers
>kde is irrelevant for stability anyways, even kde neon, a distribution dedicated solely to keeping up with kde5, has trouble not being a buggy mess
>ofc if you still want kde5 on slackware you can install it, just not during the distro install, you have to work for it
>choice of init system, which is want you want if you care about init freedom, not just gentoo or void or soemthing that allows a single alternate init

there are some reasons not to use package managers too

its p useful if you're already having to download multiple versions eg alpha stable and outdated versions of packages from the projects site
you could do that kind of thing of debian fedora ubuntu etc, but i feel its kind of seamless with slackware. i dont have to do that kind of thing anymore and i mainly use fedora 26 workstation minimal from netinstall now, but when i did, it felt proper having all source-built. for a while, anything else felt like i would be doing the personal equivalent of what mint does, ie making a giant mess with no order, like how they have some ubuntu packages some debian packages and some of their own packages and if they name their own package the same as whatever is in any of the other two repos they just override it so you cannot download that shit

>>61593677
it gives a lot of control to the user in short which is really use fully but only really useful if you can or care to take advantage of it. if someone is trying to choose between two distros like slackware and gentoo, they should try both. in all reality they probably will find gentoo better, but slackware certainly has a place for some

>>61593742
basically, you could tweak debian or any distro to work the way you want or you could start from a very small very stable base

>>61586988
Gentoo, what else? Very configurable, sensible default settings, easy to write packages for, excellent for dev work.

>>61586988
