I would never criticise someone’s distro. As long as it was arch built without any scripts.
This pleb didn’t even write his own kernel.
If you don’t use Linux From Scratch, why do you even bother?
I’d rather be waterboarded
Deal!
Just did that for the first time today and the second, third and ,fourth time aswell
Distros are like Kinks. I have my own and you have yours, I won’t judge.
Except for Manjaro with their expired certs and DDoSing AUR. Or niche remixes that don’t patch stuff and don’t have a warning saying that our stuff is old, don’t use it if you care about that.
Ahh yes, Good Guy Greg. Just like the good old days, I’m loving the nostalgia of these vintage memes.
I will, however, warn them about Manjaro, fuck it.
I’ve seen many comments about Manjaro, what’s the deal with it? I used it shortly a few years ago but I didn’t liked it

My wife and I haven’t had any issues with it, they’re just easy to paint as the bad distro because it’s supposed to uncomplicate Arch for your average user, but has had some certs fall through the cracks and they had kind of an asshole response to address it (thank God Gnome and Linux devs are never contentious folks), and apparently people don’t read the warnings about enabling AUR in the package manager. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not the perfect distro, but it doesn’t deserve nearly as much hate as it gets. It’s not Canonical, pushing Amazon and telemetry by default 😆 besides, it’s got some cool features out of the box like one of the better default dualboot grubs I’ve seen by default, the ability to have multiple kernels installed simultaneously from multiple streams, and while it’s common anymore, was one of the early adopters of providing Nvidia drivers on install. Lots of people have strong opinions on what distro is best, and Manjaro manages to be an easy one to point fingers at.
There are legitimate criticisms of Manjaro, and these days there are better options like Archinstall or EndeavorOS, but yeah it’s mostly just become a popular distro to shit on.
Canonical deserves way more hate than the Manjaro devs tbh.
Manjaro piggybacks off of Arch and some Arch users want to be obnoxious about it.
There’s nothing wrong with the distro, itself.
The maintainers have done some inconsequential noob-ish things with the site’s website, and the in-house package manager (pamac) had a bug that took down the AUR once and Arch users that couldn’t host their own website if they wanted to like to point fingers and troll.
The arch wizard who introduced me to ubuntu
First time installing Linux? What the fuck is this Ubuntu shit, that distro sucks. You really should try out Gentoo as your first distro.
Can’t believe I fell for that as a kid. Wasn’t even my first distro, but Gentoo for beginners is just hilarious
Ubuntu 🤮 if I wanted to be tracked by Amazon, I would have a registered address.
Oh, didn’t you get the memo? We’re hating Ubuntu because of snap now.
Arch linux is the gateway drug that leads to NixOS
How is Nixos? Are there clear advantages over a traditional Linux distro?
Learn a dynamic lazy functional programming language first and then start building a flake without much help or documentation because that’s what you should be doing and the default installation doesn’t use that mechanism. The docs you find will assume you understand category theory already.
About few years later you are a god and there is no way you’re going to use anything else ever again.
Source: been a user for the past four years.
I understood maybe three things in your reply so NixOS probably not for me.
i’m about to take my first peek into linux on mint. i’m not completely put off learning some new things but being able to do that in a desktop that is familar makes everything a lot easier to pick up on. who knows, if it all goes smoothly maybe next week i’ll be running arch (i won’t)
Mint is honestly the best one to go for really especially since everything just works there almost.
just works “almost” is pretty funny but i know what you mean. i wasn’t having much trouble with it testing it with a virtual machine. the nice thing is a lot of the applications i use on windows are already free software that im realizing are a lot of the go to’s for people running linux, so really a lot should “just work”
I’ve been using Linux on and off for ~15 years and I run Mint on my main desktop PC just because it’s so intuitive and stable. I want my gaming PC to “just work” and not need any tweaking, so Mint is perfect.
I know enough about Linux to be able to install most distros and use them, but I don’t know enough about them to criticizes others for their choice.
Amogos is the best just saying🙄
sus
AmongOS is dead 😭😭😭
I use ArseLinux btw
Yeah but fuck Ubuntu though.
There’s no wrong distro.
There is a wrong DE tho.

Ain’t nothin wrong with Ubuntu (is Ubuntu still around?)
It was once great, back in the glory days. Gnome 2 and Compiz, baby! It’s still OK too, but not my preferred choice.
