| >Arch
Install Artix or kys
| Install gentoo
| KDE Neon
It just works
| I used mint for a while,the big problem i had with it was the downside of linux(not all programs and games are compatible with it) but like plus, since not even some of the programs made for linux work with it.But other than that its great.
| I use Ubuntu because I like the unity UI
| LMDE2 is lyfe.
| ^And MATE is love, forgot to mention.
| Install Fedora
| The last time I tried fedora the standard repos where … unusable.
| I use Linux Mint with Cinnamon and Arch with i3. Both are good.
| I use windows 7 its pretty good. Runs well on my macbook air.
| ^you mean GNU/Windows VII
| ^it's called ReactOS 7.0
| ^ok anon you win
| my id changed.. whut
| I use TinyCore, Slacko Puppy Linux, Debian and Damn Small Linux. I have really bad and slow hardware sometimes.
| What is your hardware? A DS lite?
| After discovering the powers of tiling WMs I run on Arch + xmonad.
| arch is the master race
(or nixos)
| Antergos for the noobs
| someone even uses tiling WM? I don't have thousand hours to work with tiling... though it's fun
nvm arch is ok
| >nvm arch is ok
| >pacman is fast but not safe, it tends to break shit and config protection is implemented in a terrible way
>there is no official process to verify that a package is stable within the distro, in other distros a lot of packages are in a testing repo despite that specific package's developer claiming it to be stable on its own, because it might not be stable within the environment of a specific distro
| >a lot of AUR packages pull from upstream, which means they could be very unstable
>(arch vs gentoo related) arch users complain about muh compile time when it comes to gentoo, while in fact they compile a lot of AUR packages themselves, namely the *-git packages that pull the source from a git repo
| >but it gets even better: they only compile a handful of packages, and those not being libraries mostly, the self-compiled packages get linked against precompiled libraries from a different setup (e.g. different optimization levels), which can then cause even more instability because it's a clusterfuck of unequal shit
| >arch uses (((systemd))) and switching to something else is hard
>apparently the vim package on arch pulls in X, so if you want to have a fancy terminal text editor on a headless server, you to install a shit ton of GUI stuff you'll never need nor use
>maintainer told the guy who complained to just symlink vi to vim (vi is inferior)
| >57385
that made me thinking so hard
| Fedora looks like shit but it's the most useful
