Don’t forget the Gentoo crowd
That’s a badass
capecloak.Right! I want one.
I resen… Shit he even has a DrPepper. I guess I need to wash my cloak.
Genuine question: is that cloak yours and how did you make it?
This is a random internet image for shitposts and giggles. I considered the face to be obscured enough for the guy to be sufficiently anonymous, though he deserves fame and fortune for his awesomeness.
Had gentoo as my daily driver for years, then it turned out that I was worse at optimizing my system than the debian guys who create distros professionally, so I just… stopped.
Spent too much time fiddling with gentoo because it was fun, now I’m on fedora because it just works and is modern enough.
(The amount of time spent fixing my system once I discovered “breakmygentoo” we probably shouldn’t talk about)
Linux user for 25+ years here. I’ve tried 'em all. These days I just use Mint.
Same here, except on servers, where I prefer debian.
Because I’m old and tired, and I just want to install and be up and running in as short of a time as possible without dicking around.
Same conclusion for me. Been using Linux for years, Mint is the only distro I’ve used that #JustWorks in my experience.
I use LMDE as my personal laptop, it’s rock stable.
After 20 plus years of Linux I also really love using mint on any machine with a screen. My servers are all Debian based but my desktop and laptop are mint it just works
Also, not sure how using arch is equal to the picture, not sure if that’s supposed to be a trans girl, an e girl, or something else. Using arch is more like a mechanic with a car that breaks down every time they change anything.
Yep, been on Linux for 10 or 12 years now, I honestly can’t remember. Distro hopped at first, then I found Mint and never saw a need to change.
I’m in an organization that helps people install Linux on their devices, and we collectively decided to install Linux Mint. I never used it myself, and to me, the distribution doesn’t matter too much.
However, I was negatively surprised that Linux Mint decided to mix closed-source proprietary software together with open-source software: http://packages.linuxmint.com/search.php?release=alfa§ion=import&keyword=
They also advertise them in top positions on their package installers, which also doesn’t show the packages licenses anywhere. To me advertising them and mixing them like they are the same is bad… They also don’t offer ways to filter them out… So… while I still install LM for others, I’m not a fan…
Being too purist about the openness of a distribution is a big reason Linux has taken so long to gain foothold on PCs.
I don’t care if a Linux distribution offers proprietary applications or not. I just want to be able to filter it out, and that they offer open alternatives first.
I’m not a purist, I want people to be informed users, not just sheep that get fed whatever corporations want them to eat. If they still choose to use closed source software, then that is fine.
Weird. Just turned 47 and I JUST tried Debian tonight.
So far it’s very good.
Get off my lawn
So Linux Mint Debian Edition would just be a middle-aged person?
Nixos
NixOS
Debian user. Yes.
Same. I feel accurately portrayed.
Where NixOS?
Feels like maybe that represents SUSE but…not OpenSUSE. Tumbleweed is legit and the community is super chill and dope.
~yeah I feel personally attacked lmao~
Speaking as an Arch btw user, my socks match, thank you very much. How rude.
Speak for yourself, asymmetry is awesome :3
CachyOS user
I installed it last week. If just kinda works, is there supposed to be something bad about it?
Don’t take those memes seriously, I think the only bad thing I’d have about CachyOS is that it’s probably getting popularity as a trend, which doesn’t reflect on the distro itself.
In my particular personal opinion it seems like a good choice if you already know what you’re doing, since it’s mostly just Arch with a nice installer, which I consider to be a solid choice with good support.
I’m mostly just asking because I figured the meme was based in something.
I’m no experienced software guy, mostly just a guy who isn’t dangerously stupid, but I’ve been having a good time so far. Or rather, a boring time because the only thing I had to really do was edit the fstab so my other drive would auto-mount. Otherwise it’s delightfully unexciting.
The image in the comment mostly just feels hipster to me, and that would fit jumping on a currently trendy distro that’s also technically Arch. I don’t know if there’s more to it, it’s just a vibe thing for me.
As a Debian user… Yes
Same. I feel well represented as a Debian user.
I’m old and cranky and beat up, but I feel that pic is just touch too old as a debian user
What about bazzite?
Gentoo gang where?
In a cave with a box of scraps and a thousand yard stare.
They were still trying to piece together the camera.
Does being a Linux Mint Debian Edition user make me middle-aged?
No, an old person in diapers
Fairly accurate. SUSE is more like an IT guy forced to wear a suit to work that is not tailored well.
This guy is Kali Linux or Qubes/Whonix/TailsOS:
What a fantastic image!
