Alt text: A line plot with 2 axis (confidence vs competence) referencing the Dunning-Kruger effect with various distro logos placed at different points on the line. Starts with mint/ubuntu near (0,0) and progressing through multiple distros to end up with opensuse/fedora at what it calls βthe plateau of sustainabilityβ
Twelve years in, cloud engineer, have Mint on all my home machines cos i dont have to think about it. I like your chart but its dumb.
Started at mount stupid, went to know nothing and am now stuck on valley of dispair. Also actually bricked my MB.
I'm running Kinonite and Fedora Cinnamon spin on my two machines. So I must be at 'enlightenment'.
Honestly, I'm tired Boss-- so tired. After years and years of fooling around with various Distros, I no longer want to work hard to make my computer work. I like the auto-update feature of Kinonite. Life is short and I ain't got that much of it left to waste on Arch.......
Swap Debian with Fedora and we're solid. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
Uses Fedora

Yes, I fall everywhere on the knowledge spectrum. It just depends on which niche area I'm fixating on that day.
So apparently I go from "knowing nothing" to "guru" and back daily.
Nice corporate ad...
I would rather "despair" with a community based distro than using capitalistware were that graph true, however my Arch machine works perfectly fine and have no need to do so. On the other hand corporate distros...
I went from Debian to Mint
althoughβ¦
β¦ now I'm thinking about switching to NixOS and it's not even there.
But then again, I feel like my confidence is lower than my competence, and I really like things that require less tinkering nowadays
I still use Kubuntu, btw.
Once you know Debian you know the Truth. All other distros are heresy and must be punished.
Praise be to Debian.
Our distro, who art in RAM. Debian be thy name. Thy processes come. Thy will be done, on local as it is in the cloud. Give us this day our daily resources, and forgive us our distro hopping, as we forgive those who distro hop against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from software patents and copyrights. For thine is the processes of power and glory, for ever and ever, Amen.
For me it was Mandrake -> Debian -> Mint -> MX -> Debian
So nothing like that graph.
I've gone backwards. When I had nothing but time, I did fedora bleeding edge. Moved to ubuntu for almost 10+ years. Moved to Linux Mint last year and debating moving back to Ubuntu.
I started out with Slackware 3.0. It broke all the time. Tried Debian. Was happy ever since. Tried Ubuntu on laptops but later decided it's just Debian with extra steps so I went with Debian after all.
Mint on my desktop and Pop on my laptop...so that part seems accurate for me.
"trauma induced return to Ubuntu" π it was my wifi not working that did it, and I'm just so used to Ubuntu from years of using it at work...
Been in the Valley of Despair (Gentoo) for twenty years.
I think I like it here.
Not a single comment about Kali that I can pick a fight with?? So disappointed rn
Where does sadistic curiosity about Slackware fit on this graph after daily driving OpenSuSE Tumbleweed?
I love how Fedora is on here in two different places. I only take a small amount of offense at Pop_OS being so far to the left. Itβs decent, even if Cosmic is still a work in progress.
I keep coming back to Fedora, though. It just works.
Been using Arch + KDE Plasma since 2021 with very few issues. Now I have a job as a support engineer for a Linux software company.
