Which Linux distro is your favorite and what separates it from the other distros?
>>
>>61631871
I'd just like to interject for 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!

Arch because it actually teaches me how to use Linux. I even tried LFS but it was nowhere the same level Arch is.
>>
>tfw can only use Debian-based distros because the Synaptic Package Manager is god-tier

And I really wanted to try Fedora for a few months.

opensuse
yast makes it just werk

I dual boot Alpine and Void Linux because I'm weird

PUPPY LINUX
It's really more of a question as to what doesn't separate it from other distros. Definitely a lot of fun!
>>
>>61631937
How hard would it be to run Void and just use the AUR anyways and expect things to work?
>>
Manjaro con OpenRC. No systemd cancer, Pacman.
>>
>>61632791
Same here. I use it on a laptop from 2004 and it works surprisingly well.
>>
Source Mage, a level of control by having everything build to suit what I want and as everything is Bash I can add whatever I want with scripts.
>>
>>61632828
How many issues will this cause?

Cant you just do Arch with openrc?
>>
Void Linux. No systemd. Easy to install. Good packaging system
>>
Xubuntu. I just like the XFCE environment.

manjaro

>it just works

Arch, love the documentation and the community.
>>
Mint. Slightly less bloated than Ubuntu, comes with great graphical programs like the USB stick formatter, usb image writer, mintupdate etc that other distros don't, plug and play ez mode for peripherals, great fonts and good looking theme out of box, best live .iso in the business if you want to try before you buy, beautiful out of the box. only complaint is some stupid defaults like reversing trackpad like a mac

Arch Linux because rolling release, stable, it just installs what I want to, vanilla packages, KISS package manager and build system, modern standards and technologies.

lubuntu. It has openbox on it and it pretty easy to stick tint2 on it for a lightweight openbox/tint2 in an openbox session for the nonpurist.

got rid of openbox for i3
fuckin slick

I'm terribly sorry for interjecting another moment, but what I just told you is GNU/Linux is, in fact, just Linux, or as I've just now taken to calling it, Just Linux. Linux apparently does happen to be a whole operating system unto itself and comprises a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Most computer users who run the entire Linux operating system every day already realize it. Through a peculiar turn of events, I was misled into calling the system "GNU/Linux", and until now, I was unaware that it is basically the Linux system, developed by the Linux project.

There really isn't a GNU/Linux, and I really wasn't using it; it is an extraneous misrepresentation of the system that's being used. Linux is the operating system: the entire system made useful by its included corelibs, shell utilities, and other vital system components. The kernel is already an integral part of the Linux operating system, never confined useless by itself; it functions coherently within the context of the complete Linux operating system. Linux is never used in combination with GNU accessories: the whole system is basically Linux without any GNU added, or Just Linux. All the so-called "GNU/Linux" distributions are really distributions of Linux.

Beyond Linux From Scratch.
You learn shit, real shit. You have control over what goes into your system. Runs fast. Feelsgoodman.

So far, after trying Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu flavors, Mint, Manjaro, Arch and some other shit, openSUSE really did things right, at least with both modern desktops (KDE and Gnome)
