  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    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 “the plateau of sustainability”

    I mean, I use kubuntu but I also have installed arch and have fucked around with parts of my installation in strange ways, so probably somewhere on the slopes of mt stupid.

    [–] dwt@feddit.org 1 points 2 months ago

    Now I am intrigued. Where on that line would you place nix?

    [–] pitiable_sandwich540@feddit.org 1 points 2 months ago

    LFS where?

    [–] Technotica@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

    Dang I think I ahve multiple personality disorder then! I use Arch, Debian and Bazzite. I feel all stretched out now!

    [–] Ging@anarchist.nexus 1 points 2 months ago

    Guess I'm still waiting for something traumatic to get me back to kubuntu then xD

    [–] giacomo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

    fedora the 2nd time

    [–] SaigaTaiga@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

    If you replace the Manjaro icons with POP OS icons that’s where I am at in the middle just after the valley - also running dual booting along with EOS.

    I am though at the point of my distro hopping that I want to try out vanilla Debian.

    My initial POP install from almost 3 years ago I still the samme on my Lenovo P51 laptop. Pretty happy about it.

    One thing is clear. I love Linux and will never go back, coming from 14 years of MacOS, and windows before that.

    @voodooattack no, guru will create own distro

    [–] laranis@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

    Mint and Arch. Two lowest parts of the graph... Yeah, that tracks.

    [–] Pika@rekabu.ru 1 points 2 months ago

    OpenSUSE :)

    Can confirm been through it all, except I took a rough start with Manjaro, then straight to Fedora, then all according to the graph. Just this year ditched Endeavour and Debian in favor of OpenSUSE - loving it so far!

    [–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 1 points 2 months ago

    so am at CachyOS (i will say for EndeavourOS cause its also based on Arch,installed on my gaming rig) and Debian + Armbian (on my PI5)

    [–] SparrowHawk@feddit.it 1 points 2 months ago

    I'm in the PopOs stage!

    [–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

    This is pretty accurate, but I skipped MX and only recently took a look at it. Why is it there on the line? So far it seems like the perfect Distro to customize and lockdown for old people low on tech literacy to use.

    Linux mint for less than a month. Cut me some slack!
