Define "good." User-friendly? Linux Mint. Light on resources? Arch or gentoo.

It all depends on what you qualify "good" as.

Debian because LibreKernel and reproducibility.

Lastly, muh portability in embedded ie "The Universal Operating System."

>>62044019
how doth I libre my T420

Debian, stable, fast and decently user friendly. Also it's because it's what >>62043979 uses

>>62044019

>>62044201
Yeah I do mind, get fucked.

http://sta.li
statically compiled
no bloated package managers
updates via git
superior file system structure
made by based succless
no gnu bloat
superior musl c
includes succless tools by default (i.e. plan 9 coreutils set etc)
based succless init instead of systemd bloatnet

Suckless' software is mostly overrated. They harp on about the Unix philosophy but apparently forgot the "do it well" part. I refuse to believe anyone unironically uses any of their programs other than dwm or st.

>>62045600
They do it well for what they are. Less is more.

Windows 10

And what they are is often quite dumb, especially the programs in the "tools" section. They resemble toys made as some kind of religious tribute to an abstract ideal rather than programs people actually use, and brag about how many SLOC they use as if that's proof of good design in and of itself. If you have to edit your program's source code to make basic user configurations, it's not simple, it's unfinished.

>>62045761
If there is user configuration, its not simple.

>>62045600
dmenu and slock are quite nice as well

>>62045807
If you can't implement user configuration in a simple way, you just suck ass at programming. Sorry senpai.

sucksmore.org should be euthanized at the expense of the state, for their own good.

>>62045600
I only use dwm and st but they're great

Debian, only because >>62043979 uses it

>>62045841
fuck off richard

Unironically Gentoo. It does lack devs though and it's noticeable because it's such an ambitious project. If not for Gentoo, I'd just use Debian desu. Install using mini.iso with no-install-recommends. Very lean system for a binary distro although they're sadly becoming lennartware aka systemdOS quickly

>>62043979
This.

Feel free to use it.
It's all licensed creative commons so you can modify and redistribute if you wish!

Debian because :
- it works (stable)
- user friendly
- 100% free software (by default)
- large compatibility with many softwares
- can be modelled for differents usages (server, multimedia center, gaming machine etc)
- can be "minimal" (not like void, gentoo or arch tho)

The downsides are that you are forced to use sytemd (no real alternative on debian) and the shitty wiki/documentation.

Arch, because it has up-to-date software, is stable, has a great wiki, great package manager, and the AUR.

>>62043997
Void

glibc or musl, chose your poison
runit, it's fast and simple
packages are truly community managed
repos, make your own if you want to
libressl instead of openssl, OpenBSD security standards on GNU/Linux
rolling release
minimal
just werks
installed in 5 minutes
