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

Everytime I mention Linux in the outside world, people's brains freeze and then I get questions. I need a better social circle.
Amogos is the best just saying🙄
sus
AmongOS is dead 😭😭😭
Ahh yes, Good Guy Greg. Just like the good old days, I'm loving the nostalgia of these vintage memes.
bro in a world of scumbag steves it feels good to see a ggg
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)
Mint is honestly the best one to go for really especially since everything just works there almost.
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"
Yeah, was my first that didn't crash during install, really enjoyed it
It's mostly all Debian based, so it matters little.
Ubuntu 🤮 if I wanted to be tracked by Amazon, I would have a registered address.
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.
bsd from scratch btw
Which isn't a Linux. And here I am criticising someone's choice of Unix/Linux system...
im kidding lol. bsd is bloat. i rewrote templeos in rust for my daily driver
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
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.
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
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.
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 ;)
And doesnt tell you to "just google it"
Ah "just google it" also excellent for making a hostile work environment too.
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"
