Inaccurate garbage.

I use Arch because I'm old and set it up just the way I want it years ago and never have to change or reinstall. How dare you accuse me of, what was it, being a cranky asshole?! Wait.

It's cute. Thanks for posting.

Yeah, I guess Slackware 15.0 came out in 2002. So did 11.2.0, apparently. And whatever KDE it has (I use Sawfish on it so I have no idea, heh).

I've tried a ton of distros but nothing has beat the stability of Slackware. Also been using it since around the same time

Recently I joked to less techy friends that in the patch of the internet I most often lurk, there are two "genders": anarchist, trans, cat girls, and libertarian techbros. This seems similar to the joke that was made about Arch.

I run arch btw. I am neither trans, nor a catgirl, but there is no question about where I belong — I have the programming socks, after all. Besides, anarchist trans catgirls throw the best parties

I fucking hate how accurate that is, I am anarchist (adjacent), a transgirl, and I do say nya a lot. I use Fedora tho.

I knew RMS is supposed to refer to Richard Stallman and while reading my head filled it in as "Richard Maria Stallman"

I'm on Ubuntu because last time I built a computer I was doing a lot of ROS development. I'm pretty uninterested in experimenting with distros and just want something with LTS releases that lets me work and play some games. If I ever decide to move off Ubuntu it will probably be to Debian.

If you ever need to reinstall, I would recommend Mint. The main branch is a fork of Ubuntu, but it feels far more polished in my experience.

Doesn't mint have a history of security mishaps?

Not that I'd heard of. I did some searching and found a lot of mentions of an incident in 2016 where their server got hacked and uploaded compromised .isos for Cinnamon, but supposedly that was quickly fixed. And either way was a decade ago

I use bedrock with Artix and devuan(I also wanna try chimera), none of those distros are in there, so am I free to not be a femboy?

Honestly very accurate. In fact, I only use Arch because Void wasn't playing nice last time I tried it.

What happens if my distro is never mentioned in these run-downs? What does that say about me?

8

I feel seen. Descriptions were apt.

One category missed though, is oldsters like me who started on slack or yggdrassyl, lived on Debian for a decade, and moved to Mint because, eh, feck it, I don't want to think about configs anymore.

That said, I use mint for my daily, and Debian for anything that does headless work.

What does Mint bring that makes you choose it over Debian on the desktop?

2

I dunno... It's wearing a little more makeup I suppose. It has more dumb user things working out of the box, last I checked. Differentiating them has worked well enough for me that I haven't done a deep comparison in many years.

I'm currently on Fedora, but likely will be switching to OpenSuse. I've been looking at to stop distro hopping and make a home for myself finally. (I've only been using Linux on and off for the past 13 years.)

Everyone else: Weird fun quirky fun

Deb and Mint: You boring AF. You want the thing to work? Ugh, just leave.

You like to play video games and you don't like being a fedora sheep.

That and your the gamer in your group that sets up the servers and manages the mod packs while the rest of your group is on bazzite.

I use Arch Linux (BTW), and it was very accurate. Dont ask me for help. Just RTFM!!

Using NixOS at home and I swear I'm not a furry! At work, I use CachyOS (Arch). My wife is sad that there was no mention of Solus..

Nixos! There are dozens of us.

DevOps/SRE crowd love reproducibility.

Currently doing embedded and I wish Yocto would be based on Nix and not its own language. But I'm starting to get used to it

First of all:
Whoa, I always think these are stupid & random, but this is the first one I actually don't have notes for.
Brava.

Second of all:
Is that Sexual Lobster in the thumbnail??
Never seen that reference in the wild.

(Huh, prob just that Sexual Lobster/Greasy Moose (Chris Voigt) & Weebl (Jonti Picking) worked together at Albino Blacksheep)

Third of all:
Where are all the Hannah Montana Linux users?

2

I've used a few of them, but there are also some missing that I used for quite some time.

Debian on the proper PC.

Bazzite on the Deck.

... of course with a Debian environment set up in DistroShelf for when I am spurred to futz with dev work on the Deck.

... I am an apocalypse oriented gamer / dev who hates Windows, by this video.

Uh... yep, yep, no notes really.
