    I would never criticise someone’s distro. As long as it was arch built without any scripts.

    This pleb didn't even write his own kernel.

    If you don't use Linux From Scratch, why do you even bother?

    Everytime I mention Linux in the outside world, people's brains freeze and then I get questions. I need a better social circle.

    Distros are like Kinks. I have my own and you have yours, I won't judge.

    i'm about to take my first peek into linux on mint. i'm not completely put off learning some new things but being able to do that in a desktop that is familar makes everything a lot easier to pick up on. who knows, if it all goes smoothly maybe next week i'll be running arch (i won't)

    [–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    Mint is honestly the best one to go for really especially since everything just works there almost.

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    just works "almost" is pretty funny but i know what you mean. i wasn't having much trouble with it testing it with a virtual machine. the nice thing is a lot of the applications i use on windows are already free software that im realizing are a lot of the go to's for people running linux, so really a lot should "just work"

    It's mostly all Debian based, so it matters little.

    I know enough about Linux to be able to install most distros and use them, but I don't know enough about them to criticizes others for their choice.

    Which isn't a Linux. And here I am criticising someone's choice of Unix/Linux system...

    First time installing Linux? What the fuck is this Ubuntu shit, that distro sucks. You really should try out Gentoo as your first distro.

    Can't believe I fell for that as a kid. Wasn't even my first distro, but Gentoo for beginners is just hilarious

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Gentoo is the final boss of Linux installs. (Linux From Scratch is the raid boss)

    I installed it last year. After watching it compile for half an hour, I decided that a source-based distro was something I have no interest in daily-driving.

    I will, however, warn them about Manjaro, fuck it.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (4 children)

    I've seen many comments about Manjaro, what's the deal with it? I used it shortly a few years ago but I didn't liked it

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    My wife and I haven't had any issues with it, they're just easy to paint as the bad distro because it's supposed to uncomplicate Arch for your average user, but has had some certs fall through the cracks and they had kind of an asshole response to address it (thank God Gnome and Linux devs are never contentious folks), and apparently people don't read the warnings about enabling AUR in the package manager. Don't get me wrong, it's not the perfect distro, but it doesn't deserve nearly as much hate as it gets. It's not Canonical, pushing Amazon and telemetry by default 😆 besides, it's got some cool features out of the box like one of the better default dualboot grubs I've seen by default, the ability to have multiple kernels installed simultaneously from multiple streams, and while it's common anymore, was one of the early adopters of providing Nvidia drivers on install. Lots of people have strong opinions on what distro is best, and Manjaro manages to be an easy one to point fingers at.

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    There are legitimate criticisms of Manjaro, and these days there are better options like Archinstall or EndeavorOS, but yeah it's mostly just become a popular distro to shit on.

    Canonical deserves way more hate than the Manjaro devs tbh.

    they are just waiting for you to discover Arch ;)

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (5 children)

    Arch is the cross-fit of the Linux world.

    And doesnt tell you to "just google it"

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

    Ah "just google it" also excellent for making a hostile work environment too.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

    I don't criticize, I just give fair warnings. I want people to enjoy Linux like I do, not call me every other week because something is "broken"

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (7 children)

    Arch linux is the gateway drug that leads to NixOS
