Alt text: A line plot with 2 axis (confidence vs competence) referencing the Dunning-Kruger effect with various distro logos placed at different points on the line. Starts with mint/ubuntu near (0,0) and progressing through multiple distros to end up with opensuse/fedora at what it calls “the plateau of sustainability”
Kubuntu on my desktop, Debian on my server, postmarketOS on my phone. Where do I fit?
The only distro I’ve ever used is arch.

30 years of using Linux and I think this chart is whack. RPM based distros run by enterpises are the worst. I was happier with Slackware than Fedora. 🤣 I only use those when work forces me too and after the CentOS and SLES fiascos - F that noise. I’ll only recommend debian for work servers unless there are STIG/FedRAMP security requirements and then it’s begrudgingly over to Ubuntu.
When work isn’t in the way: EndeavourOS on my desktop, Debian on my servers, and debian/alpine for my containers or better yet; golang and scratch.
I like to think I’m the right-most Fedora, but some days I’m for sure the other Fedora.
so am at CachyOS (i will say for EndeavourOS cause its also based on Arch,installed on my gaming rig) and Debian + Armbian (on my PI5)
& then people return to PopOS, ubuntu, LinuxMint & Debian.
This. I’ve gone ‘round the Cape of Distros and found myself reinstalling Linux Mint on all of my older computers because it just fucking WORKS without complaint or issue.
Using Fedora on my newer laptop, but for a distro that you don’t have to think about at all and just USE, Mint is hard to beat.
Yep, 20 years later I’m running kubuntu again, excited for kde OS though.
Plus the actual knowledgable linux gurus ARE ON Linuxmint, PopOS, debian etc…
Anybody who calls Linux “GNU/Linux” is rightfully at the bottom of both axes
This is pure rage bait.
Been using Debian for like 3 years now. No intent of distro hopping.
I’ve bricked my installation just by logging into root in openSUSE. I am not touching this shit again. I love my arch
I ve been running SUSE for 3years now, it never broke; when I wqs unhappy with an update O rolles back. This is the chilliest distro in my opinion after trying Mint(2 years) and Debian (2years)
Mint… :)
I had thought of going to Fedora next but I ask myself why !
Where nixos?
between Gentoo and Arch, but so far down the y-axis it clipped off the chart.
t. masochistic NixOS user
Dang I think I ahve multiple personality disorder then! I use Arch, Debian and Bazzite. I feel all stretched out now!
I’m at the Kali Linux peak but at least I’m smart enough to know that I don’t have the capability to do the social engineering aspect so I’m just gonna backtrack to Ubuntu and tie myself to the terminal and actually learn Linux.
The “return to Ubuntu” logo is Feren OS. Which distro do you choose for your return to Ubuntu?
