Linux

Void, and I really wanted to like it on account of not relying on systemd, but its package repos are too barren for me.

Like, Void's repos are even more barren than EL's stock repos before you add RPMFusion and EPEL among other third-party repos into it, and its AUR equivalent don't help matters.

And Void's musl port is even more limited than the glibc version because it doesn't support multilib, so you can't have Steam or WINE on Void musl, for example, while you could on the glibc version that supports multilib.

Most of them.

• Debian world - apt sucks. For something with a sole purpose of resolving a dependency tree, it's surprisingly bad at that.

• Redhat world - everything is soooo old. I can see why business people like it, buy I rarely, if ever, agree with business people.

• Opensuse world - I've only tried it once, probably 15 years ago. Didn't really know my way around computers all that much at the time, but it didn't click and I've left it. Later on I found out about their selling out to Microsoft and never bothered touching it again.

• Arch - it was my daily for a year or two. Big fan. It still runs my email. At some point the size of packages started to annoy me, though. Still has the best wiki. I've never really bothered with the spinoffs, as the model of Arch makes them useless and more problematic to deal with.

I've got the Gentoo bug now. For the first time I genuinely feel ~/. A lean, mean system of machines :)

manjaro.

I daily drive Fedora, but I’ve used Arch, OpenSUSE, Debian, and more. Once you get used to how Linux works, distro doesn’t really matter that much aside from edge case distros that operate totally differently like Nix. I chose Fedora because I like the dnf package manager.

The only distro I don’t like is Ubuntu. I had to setup a Linux VM at work so I figured Ubuntu would be a good choice for that. Firefox is painfully slow to open because of Snap, so I uninstall it and run “apt install firefox” which Ubuntu overrides and installs the Snap again.

Fuck. That. Deleted the VM and installed Debian instead.

NixOS… for now. I was on Fedora and was looking for something new. Thought I’d try these new „immutable” distros. Then realised I didn’t know enough about normal ones yet, so I switched to Arch instead. Plus, Nix’ docs are horrendous imo

Opensuse. Did absolutely nothing wrong but I just didn't vibe with it. Went to fedora and I vibe hard with it

All of them, so I'm still on Windows
