So... what's the best Linux distro just for a fuck-around machine? I already have a Windows gaming machine so no need to take that into consideration, but for a laptop for uni where I'm studying CS and doing a lot of programming, what's the best distro?
Alpine linux

>most popular distro
>lots of support for it
>it just werks
>easy to use
Ubuntu so you can spend time programming and not ricing your system for screenfetch threads
>>62358988
You really want a fuck around machine? You reallly wanna fuck around? I am not memeing you, install Gentoo.
All kinds of fucking around to be had there. Enjoy

Maybe Ubuntu or OpenSuse.
The best Linux distro is the one you actually sit down and use.

>>62359087
install gentoo and kys
>>62359087
he said he wanted a fuck-around machine you faggot
>>62359087
I did this too... I spent way to much time tweaking and modifying configs on my desktop when I ran Linux. Now I shamefully use Windows and have a Vagrant box for development.

>>62359087
Stop being productive.
>>62359087
That's a joke right?

You are a sad little person

I like manjaro, but that's only because there's a nice i3 version available. No fucking around, bit of a learning curve
>>62358988
Ubuntu or Antergos.

I work on GNOME for a living and I too am an imposter.

I like lubuntu. It's pretty lightweight so maybe good for your laptop. Been using it for a year and a half and I've resintalled once a month or so ago so pretty good stability. I also downloaded 'everything' on it at first so I'm more conservative with it now. You can do an openbox session with it as well for more snappiness. I haven't been able to break with all the fucking around I do on it.

I switched back to Windows over this too. I even like Visual Studio now.

No...s-stop.
