What Linux distro y'all use
| Arch and Debian. Debian is only for server-usage though, Arch is my daily driver.
| >>90602
It's an amazing distro by itself. Though, to be fair, it does take three or so reinstall to get the setup I wanted, but it's by far, the best experience I've had.
| i just use plain old ubuntu
| Me using KDE neon on Desktop Systems.
I was about switching to Arch before Neon came out. I had Kubuntu before, but it uses 300 year old KDE packages, which sucks if you want a up-to-date version of your desktop.
At work I have to deal with CentOS/RHEL on servers. They are OK, but I prefer Ubuntu Server.
Im trapped in Ubuntu/Debian convienience :)
| LMDE2 with Cinnamon. It's aight.
| Wait no nvm I changed to MATE. It's better.
| I'm just using ubuntu with i3. I'd like to switch to Parabola, but I don't want to mess up my current setup. Ubuntu barely functions on my laptop as is.
| Manjaro deepin
I'm just too lazy to make a hackintosh
| Oh, I forgot to mention I use a portable custom arch installation on a USB-Pendrive for system penetration.
That's funny, because „arch“ sounds like the german word for ass - So it's my arch penetration stick :)
| Gentoo on laptop, Debian without systemd on desktop, Alpine chroot on phone, Raspberry Pi uses Void
| Arch for sure
| I don't use linux because I'm not a loser! Hah!
| Antergos is really nice, I love it.
| Ubuntu with Xfce. My notebook is a toaster so it can barely support the OS ):
| Windows 10
Why should one use Linux?
Can I use Adobe Programms in Linux? (I know u can't game but I'd need atleast need Adobe or Resolve Davinci and Reaper)
| Debian. I know it's mainly a server distro, but all I want from a distro is stability; I use a PC only for anime, manga, games, music and of course the internet so I don't have any special needs which only some distros can fulfill.
>>91514
Gotta ask: why without systemd? I'm not a supporter of it, nor am I against it, I simply don't have enough knowledge of daemons or why devs even chose to replace initd while initd was already doing a good job.
| I use slackware. Stable as fuck, haven't switched distros in years
| >>91927
Not >>91514 but most people nuke systemd for either performance, reliability or "muh foss way" or something like that. There's a lot of reason, really. I switched the OpenRC a while back, but I felt like I can do fine with systemd.
| Manjaro with bspwm checking in
Daily reminder that x11 based window managers are the only option for attractive GUIs
| >>91847
There is nothing I can do with the kindergarten software Adobe what I can't do on a linux desktop. It's about question of convienience and Knowledge. I once had a job where I was forced to work with Adobe bloatware, first on shitty windows and after some issues my boss gave me one of these mac toys (was much more stable at least).
I had to do realy stupid work with lot's vector graphics and animations. It took much more time I spent for similiar tasks under linux desktop.
| >>92351 What applications can you recommend on Linux?
Do you know Davinci Resolve or Reaper? What do you think about them? I think they enable a neat workflow but maybe you know better applications?
| manjaro with i3wm here, still a bit weird coming from gentoo but it's nice that stuff pretty much just works™
| Solus, waiting for the KDE edition atm
| >>91945 I use slackware-current on x86_32. Nice distro, but unfortunately, I don't feel much satisfaction building packages and writing slackbuilds
| >>91514 How did you install Alpine on your smartphone? I tried with Linux Deploy, but no good – can't login into Alpine :(
| >>92438 PostmarketOS is an Alpine distro for phones, maybe it'd work for you?
I'm on Debian / i3wm because I'be been spending a lot of my time on non-tech stuff, so I wanted a system that barely ever craps itself.
| Gentoo Hardened all the way.
With XMonad+xmobar.
| Linux mint cinnamon
| linux mint or ubuntu those are the most supported disros i can think of at the monent
| Puppy linux
| Linux Mint with Cinnamon or AwesomeWM (whichever I'm feeling when I log in)
| >>92354
Linux software follows as diffrent concept, so there is no single application that's comparable to adobe products. In the Windows World you often have to deal with redundancies and overlapping functionality of bloatware that want's to cover as much functions as possible and that offers low interoperability with other software through stupid proprietary file formats or very restricted, non open and standard conform or non existent APIs.
| Bunsenlabs with i3
| I use Windows 10 UNIX edition
| I run Fedora 27, but have been messing with Budgie over GNOME.
| Arch everywhere, incl. at work.
| Kali and Parrot
| I'm running Ubuntu Server on my... well, server.
| >>93460 I don't really recommend running Budgie outside Solus, I know that at least the one shipped with Ubuntu feels completely wrong (performance, minor bugs, stupid customisations...)
| I'm a Windows 7 shitter, but Windows 10 is so shitty that I'm considering just ditching Windows altogether. Thinking about starting with Arch.
| I unironically think Arch Linux is ideal for beginners
| Debian sid with XFCE.
| Kali cause I'm dumb.
| Daily? Arch+i3 like the skiddy scum i am. My fallback is debian for servers that i don't want to be constantly fiddling with, and various xubuntu forks for computers other people might have to use.
| >>95461
yeah, if you're the type of person that likes customizing things anyway. arch got me into linux because it was the first distro i tried that didn't just seem like "basically windows.. except it can't run any of my software".
| The lack of bspwm here is seriously disturbing. Also where are the i3-gaps users? Will the real trendy ricers please stand up
| I use ubango 16.04 for mining on my desktop, ubango 17.10 on my laptop and raspbian on my pi. Probably will switch back my desktop to openSuSE Tumbleweed once 4.15 is released and plasma 5.12
| I USE ARCH LINUX
i like customizing shit
i3wm <3
| FreeBSD
| ArchLabs
| Windows
| Bodhy linux
| Gentoo as a daily
| Debian
| CentOS at work, xubuntu at home because I just don't care anymore.
| Debian. Am closely watching Devuan for work deploys as the systemd free, classic behavior of init scripts that I know and where I can use apt-*.
| >>92437
I'll admit slackbuilds are annoying, I eventually wrote a shitty manager to automate the process
I don't install stuff very often though
| Good old Mint
| Bedrock, and usually Arch on top of it
| Swift Linux for my girl Tay Tay
| >>90621
Same shit here.
But I even use arch for my server.
Also, debian looks good. But only did/unstable
| After a lot of distrohopping i realised ubuntu LTS just works for me
| >>100642
Ubuntu is what i always come back to. I just pick and choose packages from a Netinst. As much as i want to use debian the patches the ubuntu kernel team adds just make HW support easier.
| Debian cause it just werks
| Not even one user of Hanna Montana Linux, a clear sign that her career is over.
| Ubuntu+Xfce, because I'm running it on top of ChromeOS and that's my only choice :/
| I wish xfwm's compositor wasn't xrandr based. Took me awhile to figure out I needed to check a couple boxes in the Nvidia drivers to eliminate screen tearing. Compton made windows sluggish when moving them around on my 144hz display.
| I'm seeing a lot of Arch here, so I'd like to remind you guys;
Arch has never been a minimalist distribution. Splitting packages is rare compared to other distributions, and dependencies aren't made optional whenever possible. Arch has *never* been minimalist... a Linux kernel with every module available and every feature enabled at least when there's no non-bloat related cost, feature-packed/complex GNU tools, nearly all optional features enabled across all the packages, etc.
| >>103073
Additionally;
>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
| >>103075
>(arch v 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
>arch uses (((systemd))) and switching to something else is hard
>arch cannot boot without an initramfs per default
>pacstrap always installs the same shit, uclibc, dietlibc, musl, gnu-less toolchains etc are not an option from the get-go
| >7f382b
It does blow my mind just how good emerge is at getting your packages just how you want them. Terrifying tho if you messed your system up. Idk what I would do if I messed up that tree thing Gentoo has
| >>05cfc8 was for>>7f382b
I don't usually wish for images, but if there are any ricers here looking to share work, how should we do it on /u/? Link to scrots or use another service?
We could share dotshare.it links and support the scene
| Man I suck at this, I wish /u/ Android had a post link formatter like clover ;-;
| Ucuntu.
| I love the UI and easy install of Linux Mint.
| Arch with GRACE. It just werks.
| Xfce is pretty graceful to be fair
| hanna montana linux :D
