minus-squareRolivers@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up40·2 months agoWell I’ve been using openSuse for a while and habe noch keine German influence gesehen.

minus-squareJo Miran@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up23·2 months agoThe popular Debian based distros are up to date. That said, core Debian stable is indeed boring, but sometimes boring and stable is what you need.
minus-squareQuarterSwede@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 months agoYep, perfect for my server. Literally has never gone down.
minus-squareBaggie@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up13·2 months agoDefinitely a brick of an operating system, boring as hell, but reliable and has been that way since ancient times.

minus-square0x0@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 months ago Gentoo – Arch but it takes longer Supports full binary versions since december 2023. Slackware? – for old people Aka people who know what they’re doing and what they want, noted.
minus-squarecraftrabbit@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 months agoYes, that’s pretty much what I said but more accurate and less funny
minus-squareragas@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down1·edit-22 months agoGentoo really has nothing to do with arch. Gentoo in my opinion is more like Debian with compiling and rolling release. And what about Fedora? Last I checked it was wildly popular.
minus-squarecraftrabbit@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 months agoGentoo is just frequently cited as the “next step up” from Arch and also funny. And Fedora is bucketed into the Red Hat flavour.
minus-squareNostraDavid@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 months ago Nix – whole OS determined by 1 file * Can be determined by 1 file. Or one file and a .lock file. Or even more files. Your pick, really.
