This is definitely not a Shitpost. Pick a Linux distro and advertise it for me.

(wanted something else than Ubuntu or Mint for my laptop that BinBos destroyed)

You know, every Linux distro has its own unique charm, and I love that about the Linux ecosystem. But there’s something incredibly rewarding about being able to build your operating system, piece by piece, tailored to your needs, like fitting together pieces of a puzzle. And that’s exactly what Arch lets you do!

Arch Linux comes with a ‘bare minimum’ base and allows you to add on top of that. It means no bloatware, no unwanted apps. It’s like building your dream home, starting from the foundation, and adding only what you love and need. You are in full control, and there’s no ‘standard’ package set that determines what your system should look like.🏗️

Then comes the famed rolling release model, which means updates are continuous, and you never have to reinstall or jump through hoops to upgrade to the latest and greatest. It’s like being on a river that’s constantly moving, keeping you on the cutting edge of software development. ⏩

The package manager, Pacman, is another gem, making package management simple and efficient. And did I mention the AUR (Arch User Repository)? It’s a treasure trove that contains pretty much every piece of software you could need, and if it’s not there, you can package it yourself and share it with the community! 📦👥

I know, some people might say Arch can be demanding, especially for beginners. And yes, there’s a learning curve, but isn’t that true for anything worth doing? With the Arch Wiki by your side (it’s nothing short of an encyclopedia, really! 📚), the learning becomes a journey, an adventure!

In a nutshell, Arch Linux gives you freedom, full control, keeps you at the forefront of software releases, and offers you a vibrant community to learn from and contribute to. So, why not take the plunge and give it a try? It’s an experience I wouldn’t trade for anything else. 🚀

Ik quite difficult…

But in all seriousness I’d reccomend fedora, I don’t have the best experience with it but my friend owns it and raves about its UI. I use Linux mint personally and I’m not changing for these reasons:

1)my Acer laptop and Acer in general make it a pain to install Linux on, the only operating systems I can practically install on my laptop are Ubuntu based and even that was a pain, I had to dig through many Linux forms to solve my problem (the awnser very hidden and not many upvotes probably about 7) maybe I’m an idiot idk I’m not an expert.

2)I don’t like change I like the user interface of windows 10 but I don’t like the adware and bloatware. I CBA dealing uninstalling candy crush soda again. So I’m unlikely going to change.

Hope that helps! use fedora BC my friend raves about it, sorry I don’t have any other info about it.

openSUSE (tumbleweed):

  • rolling distro but actually stable ( unlike arch ;) )
  • snapshots per default
  • has one of, if not the most advanced sys management gui
  • buildservice (similar to the aur)
  • most feature rich installer
  • almost all desktop environments are available ( KDE, Gnome, XFCE, sway, cinnamon, etc)
  • best logo ^^

Not that popular but technologically one of the best!

  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of “peasantry” to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.

  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can’t quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
