Fedora. I've used it for too long and switching a distro would be too much of a hassle. I'd like to give NixOS a try though.

Gentoo

I use ubuntu, because it just werks, m9.

>>62198502
didnt know Gentoo was that popular ..maybe its just g

Solus which is the best distro I have ever used and I would recommend everyone to use it because of its simplicity and elegance

>>62198532
but its...Canonical

>>62198430
I use gentto. I just started using Linux. Maybe I'll try LFS soon. Heard this should be decent. Gentoo seems a bit bloated tbqh

>>62198654
I always hear about screen tearing. Don't even know what it is. I've never had any issues using xfce.

>>62198679
Xfce and Debian?

Unironically Manjaro. AUR + pacman elite package manager with easy installer and slightly delayed rolling release so no system breaking updates. Only gay thing is they took out the OpenRC init option so now you're stuck sucking the sytemd

>>62198622
They also support third party apps that are guaranteed updates regardless if the Solus devs do so or not like WPS or Chrome.

>>62198723
Huh

>>62198632
Rolling release was fun to play with software when I first started getting really involved. I have gotten really sick of bugstomping little shit every couple of days

I just use Ubuntu/Unity. I don't even bother to change the wallpaper from the default purple monstrosity.

Gentoo on my laptop. Was hoping itd be more than it is. I guess that seemingly bottomless void inside me will never be filled. Great performance gains though.
Ubuntu minimal on my desktop mining XMR and as a distcc host for my laptop
About to put OpenBSD / Gentoo / Win7 on my trashpad once the hdd lands from ebay.

Looking forward to getting a t60 and building a 100% libre system. Trying to become the meme.

After using Void for less than a year I temporarily swapped to Cub and using a usb drives of LXLE and PUppy. Still distro hopping but I may go back to Void one day.

>>62198707
Screen tearing happens on most modern hardware since Xfce doesn't have a compositor. The same happens on LXDE and MATE.
Pic related.

>>62198430
Void.
Comfy unless xbps decides to not mark the packages installed on distro install as manual, so you accidentally uninstall everything and end up with a broken system on orphan package cleanup.

>>62199017
xfwm4 have a compositor, it's just outdated. nv cards can use it without (that) problem.

>>62198538
Also using solus and I have to say I'm really getting into the groove of it. Basically anything I do works with it

>>62199017
It happens in manjaro as well

Currently using Mint as being a newbie. Any suggestions on what I should try next?

>>62198430
Void
>>62199048
Never heard of that, how does that happen?

OpenSUSE 42.3
Probably should change. I went from OpenSUSE 13.2 which worked fine, to this, which is slow and sluggish and the mouse skips if I maximize something.

>>62199150
I honestly wish I knew, but it did. All I know is that I have to reinstall today. At least I have a list of everything that I installed, it'll be to just iterate through that and make sure the packages are all installed and marked as manual.

Now all I have to do is figure out how the fuck Multi-gpu xorg works and I'll be golden.

>>62198538
I'll move to solus once you fix the package manager.
Also, why not do something like AUR or at least ppas?
Are you going to use snaps for everything outside of the main repository?
Urgh

I'll stick with Manjaro, Stable Arch

>>62199142
first you should know what desktop environment you want to use. ubuntu has all kind of flavors with different DEs, i recommend those, but dont try the standard ubuntu 17.04, as it uses unity which is kill. ubuntu 17.10 will come with gnomeshell, so you might try ubuntu gnome until 17.10 is released. or you might try Kubuntu if you like KDE more. All other DEs are basically memes.

>>62199361
xfce is the best DE there is

>>62199176
openSUSE is worse with every update.
WTF? It used to be a decent distro.

>>62198444
I like fedora, but the bleeding edge doesn't work for my servers, so I use centos there. Fedora is my favorite desktop Linux tho.

>>62199142
Gentoo

>>62198598
pajeet pls

>>62199464
It doesn't even have to switch to Wayland soon. It's just as functional as other DEs, has more options given to you especially for customization, it's more stable than Unity and KDE and it's very user friendly.
It beats other "light" DEs such as MATE, LXDE and LXQt in every way.
Honestly MATE, budgie and pantheon devs should just give up and stop dicking around and join Xfce. GNOME and Cinnamon are enough for GNOME-based desktops. I'm glad unity was abandoned.

>>62199464
That'd be problematic if any application I ran used Wayland exclusively

>>62198430
First started using Gentoo around 2007 it's really great when you know how to use it.
Recently started noticing NixOS in theory is even better, but I'm not smart enough to understand it.

>>62199233
>I'll stick with Manjaro, Stable Arch
Manjaro is not stable they hold back packages which means you could be at risk of not receiving security updates for a while unless you manually patch yourself (or unless they've been keeping up to date with what Arch is doing and pushing security fixes early).

>>62200570
Define pretty.

Also I don't know if I'm getting memed but I think Fedora looks nice, aka GNOME. But I'm not a fan of the layout. I also don't have a windows key on my keyboard, only ctrl and alt

>>62200822
Touche, anything's better than the pile of vomit that is LXDE (LXQT it's successor looks a lot nicer and is coming along nicely but still has work to do).

If you like Gnome then by all means give Fedora a shot. Fedora is essentially the flagship distro for Gnome because it's mostly made by RedHat employees.

KDE Neon
Works pretty well

>>62200844
I kind of like the MATE de.I have it on my laptop and it works for that. I might give Fedora a try. Maybe I'll switch out GNOME for something else I've heard good things abut KDE.

Almost all distros are based on optional funding.

>>62200999
Additionally, if you like a distribution or a project, you really should donate to it. It helps the devs and keeps projects alive. Unless you contribute code you should at least give 1-10$ to FOSS projects you like.

>>62200999
Does it say on the page "type in zero to not pay"? It's not optional otherwise since it's almost forced upon the user unless they're clever enough to type in zero (you'd be surprised how dump some people are).

Optional means you have to "opt-in". If you're told you have to donate (only you can donate nothing) then that's not optional. Truly optional means the source is available and you can actually build the OS yourself if you really wanted to.

>>62200967
Was Zorin once hailed as the best for people switching from Win7? I think I used it way back in 2010 when first dabbling with Linux. It looks pretty nice, kind of Android-ish like.

Yes, it obviously does. If you DON'T want to pay you'd obviously type 0. Anyone who cares would at least try to type 0. People who are retarded enough not to do that are retarded enough not to know how to install an OS and wouldn't be on that site in the first place.

Hey guys I don't know shit about linux, I just want to fit in with desktop threads. Please ironically recommend me some piece of shit and I'll give up 40 minutes in. Will still say I use it and it's great though!

They should do. Not everyone is even aware that libre software survives on public funding. They should be made aware.

CloverOS.

>>62201465
Rather than install and configure a bunch of packages individually, you declare your entire system in a file and tell the package manager to build it for you.

You can switch between configurations, revert back and forward at will, install multiple versions/configurations of the same package, and easily sync multiple systems together with the same configuration.

NixOS is the most popular declarative system.

>impure system
you can remove systemD from arch if that's what you mean. if you're referring to "muh Stallman says it's not an approved distro" then that's just retarded. they don't list fedora and opensuse as valid libre distros simply because they allow you to install proprietary software.

>>62201729
It's impure because it doesn't use a purely functional package manager.

>>62201586
This seems comfy. How's package coverage? Find everything you need or have you had to build your own shit/look for alternatives? Also, how does it handle temporarily installed packages? Say I only need efibootmgr for a second to fix a grub fuck up, would it remove all dependencies, even ones that other packages optionally depend on that were installed with efibootmgr?

Arch

Been using arch for around 5 years. Before that, used Ubuntu and then distro hopped until I got across arch which really became too comfy for me to want to switch to any other distro

Alright bois, this thread made me install a new distro. It's installing right now

Fedora Design Suite because I'm a pretend artist. But GNOME has got to go

>>62202803
Uh, I'd understand that if you are a Fedora user, otherwise all these applications are availabe on every other distro with a single command. Good luck anyway

>>62203047
Yeah I figured the same but looking into the distro they have a lot of extra settings put into some programs. i.e extra brushes, palettes, presets for GIMP, Krita and other programs. I use those two a good bit. Mostly I just want to see what Fedora is like. I've used Ubuntu for awhile, just wanted a change. Now I have to learn what commands are comparable to Ubuntu.

Solus. It werks. Used arch, but it's too time consuming.

The only package I personally couldn't find was a custom zsh theme. But I made a custom package in a few lines of my configuration. You can check out a pretty large subset of the packages here:

https://nixos.org/nixos/packages.html

Nix is designed to handle temporary packages extremely easily. There's a utility called `nix-shell` that lets you set up a quick environment with whatever packages you need:

nix-shell -p efibootmgr

Boom, you're in a shell with access to the efibootmgr tool. Don't even need to be root (though you'll probably need to use `sudo` to use efibootmgr at all). Once you type `exit`, you'll be back in your normal environment.

>>62203406
That sounds neat. So if I run "nix-shell -p python" then I'll be dropped into a shell with python installed? Where does it go when I exit?

>>62203479
Yep. And let's say you want to have a bunch of python libraries like numpy, you can just go:

nix-shell -p python pythonPackages.numpy pythonPackages.scipy pythonPackages.whatever

And you're now in a shell with python and those libraries installed.

All packages that are installed are put into individual folders in /nix/store. When you exit, the packages will still be there, but you won't have access to them. When a package isn't in use at all, it'll be deleted once you run the package garbage collector:

nix-collect-garbage
