I said it before and I'll say it again, Linux mint is the work horse of all the distros! Its easy, it usually just works, it's the distro you pick when you want to get work done.
I have been using Linux for 2 decade's now and have tried all the major distros. Somehow I keep getting back to mint because I don't spend too much time to get it just right, and I actually spend time on my work.
That was an interesting read. I am even more confused about the community part. When Debian switched to systemd it was a very... lively public discussion with lots of people stating their opinions. It seems to me like the opensuse world is different.
Maybe because IBM bought Redhat so they're saying it's corporate? Just a wild guess. I use Debian, and not sure why that makes me the hide the pain meme.
While I love my ThinkPad T480, there's a bit of me that feels bad for having that replace my Latitude E6420 that still had life left in it on LMDE, especially as I upgraded the processor to a quad core i7-2630QM from the i5-2520M it had.
That being said, the ThinkPad has been better for my back than the 2.5kg Latitude.
EOS is a godsend, I tend to reinstall my os after every semester and found that with pure arch is a pain in the ass. Just stick that eos iso and boom, 90% of what I need, just run 2 scripts for installing my programs and the zen kernel and I'm golden
No. Where's the guy wearing furry ears, tail, and programming socks?
Hiding behind the arch user lmao
...wearing? We got a phony over 'ere.
My ears are all natural, tyvm.
😭 You're right even my avatar is AI generated 'cause my broke ass can't afford commissions and I can't draw anything worth a shit.
pat pat one day
Yeah that's what arch should actually be, cat ears and thigh-highs
I don’t get Mint. I use Mint, btw.
Greetings, fellow geezer!
Yolo you glizzy rizzler, no cap

Not really enjoying being called a psychopath for using Fedora...
It’s ok, we have a great lawyer.
Tom Cruise stunt double checking in
I wasn’t sure how to interpret it because that is actually Ben Stiller dressed as Tom Cruise.
Video
Me too. Although it depends on the device. Sometimes I am the really old guy and sometimes I'm Tom Cruise.
With that said, I got a great laugh from this.
How do you do, fellow Linux enthusiasts?
Real. Thought I'd move up and try arch, sudo and nano stopped working after the root changed. God bless the maintainers of mint
I kind of expected this for Ubuntu.
I use Ubuntu, Red Hat/CentOS, and Windows.
If I had more free time I would try some more.
In reality, I feel like hide-the-pain Harold.
I use Arch BTW. And my jeans are quite large
Yup. OpenSUSE here.
I unironically have several folks around who've moved over to OpenSUSE after me.
Criminally underrated, now if only they could get the board in order...
I have a perception based mainly on a feeling, but is it true that the opensuse community is mainly Suse employees actually deciding what happens?
Not exactly.
There is very much a symbiotic relationship between the company and the community, even if the latter is more an oblique blob of FOSS projects.
You can get a smidge of insight by having a looksie here:

My reason for choosing openSUSE was admittedly shallow but I'm here to represent our team!
I’m a happy OpenSUSE user, but is there a mrs. Chad I can be instead? :)
Fellow OpenSUSE Chad 🤙
Alpine and NixOS are lonely? Nani?
Anti Commercial-AI license
They're the 'different' ones:
Pffft FHS is inefficient ancient technology.
clocking in for the legendary few nixians
Now there's at least two of us!
Considering I'm a woman that uses arch, I hope that's not what I look like
🤣
I cant find the skirt and thigh high wearing transfem with catears and a Blahaj :3
(That ofc uses Arch btw)
I use Fedora, and I have no idea how to interpret my representation here.
Maybe because IBM bought Redhat so they're saying it's corporate? Just a wild guess. I use Debian, and not sure why that makes me the hide the pain meme.
The pain is in your back and your knees.
Well, ya got me there.
I just want Gnome without all the faff of Arch. Do I want too much? Dx
Yeah, same for me but I also don't really get any of them.
It's missing arch and programming socks.
(They didn't have 5XL socks in stock)
Let’s see Paul Allen’s distro
He pulls out a vapour thin install of puppy linux on his machine
I have little patience for digital systems anymore. I want my computer to "just work" the same way I expect a shovel to just work. I prefer Debian.
Tumbleweed user rolling in! :D
rolls in but more slowly
It needs steam OS and the dude just wanting to grill
Bsd and nix mixed together... What a world
OP looked at a Distrowatch.com leaderboard and didn't read the fine print
On Garuda with a "gaming" laptop. I feel seen.
I installed Garuda and then immediately switched my theme to Breeze. I don't know what that says about me.
I did too. I hate the default theme for Garuda
I feel like there isnt much people on Garuda. At least roaming on Lemmy.
2 years on Garuda now. I'll rep the few.
Debian guy
Gray hair and debian on old Dell Latitude, yep that's me.

Gigachad with sunglasses.
I don't agree with this, I'm just a nerd on Tumbleweed
me who uses Debian at home but SUSE at work: why is the work computer cooler? :[
(tbf the work computer is objectively cooler because it controls a really sciencey machine but still)
I'm 100% the Manjaro guy.
Manjaro actually made me lol.
NixOS here, checks out
I don't get it tbh
That's just the apathy
Some of these I roughly get, but manjaro,
facebookthe other f ;), and opensuse just don't make sense to me.Manjaro: you're hiding all the sexyness of Arch behind a dull respectable outfit
...or you're hiding all the naked-ass-ness of Arch which leaves you with barely more than a g-string to wear
OpenSUSE doesn't make sense to me either.
I use Arch BTW
Why of course, that is me, the chad, I am him.
I suppose raspberry pi os counts under Debian?
Ken Thompson uses Raspberry Pi OS, he said that he switched from Apple to RPi OS maybe two years ago.
why are mx and mint in the same pic?
Of course you'd ask about it grandpa.
Get off my lawn you pesky whippersnapper!
oh i get it grandma has no d and the other is mint
why gentoo and void together?
Yeah, that feels like a really weird choice.
mutual hatred for systemd?
Build it yourself source-driven distros?
Void isn't DIY distro, it only doesn't have a GUI installator
CachyOS here for the moment.
We're that one cousin no one talks about.
Endeavor here, checks out
Finally some meme recognition for those of us that want to be “cool arch users” but don’t want to spend any effort getting there!
(Fucking love EOS right now. )
EOS is a godsend, I tend to reinstall my os after every semester and found that with pure arch is a pain in the ass. Just stick that eos iso and boom, 90% of what I need, just run 2 scripts for installing my programs and the zen kernel and I'm golden
To be fair I have used pure Arch before but EOS gets me everything I like about Arch just easier
Okay, well maybe it’s just me that’s the lazy one!
The community sway package for eos is so good that I pretty much gave up on my custom dotfiles.
It seems I'm a Chad with sunglasses
Debian and Mint user.....yup I'm old.
'Salute!' Fedora is present
i usually use endeavour but am currently trialling aeon. so... mcdhackerchad?
According to this I'm an American Psycho, but that's inaccurate because I'm not American.
Nobara because I couldn't be arsed to configure Fedora on my desktop and MacOS because MacBook.
So I guess I'm the American Psycho guy with a PlayStation controller sitting on my golden shitter.
#1, #3, #13, #14, #15, #16
Don't kink shame me!
3,5,7, 12 and 13 for me haha
Yup, fedora.
Yea baby!
Mint user here
Eh heey what!
I'm apparently both the shirtless guy (Gentoo) and the arch user. But I'm also the Kali user and Windows guy occasionally. It probably averages out.
I'm very flattered by how Gentoo users are portrayed :D
Cries in dragora
Umm excuse me where’s the transgender programmer socks? I don’t see it there..
I am both bottom left and bottom middle-left. The duality of man
No
Made with GIMP
i'm Ben Stiller on a golden toilet
yes but also no 🟢
More than once 🙈
i am a chad freebsd user 😁
