I use Arch because I'm old and set it up just the way I want it years ago and never have to change or reinstall. How dare you accuse me of, what was it, being a cranky asshole?! Wait.
Recently I joked to less techy friends that in the patch of the internet I most often lurk, there are two "genders": anarchist, trans, cat girls, and libertarian techbros. This seems similar to the joke that was made about Arch.
I run arch btw. I am neither trans, nor a catgirl, but there is no question about where I belong — I have the programming socks, after all. Besides, anarchist trans catgirls throw the best parties
I'm on Ubuntu because last time I built a computer I was doing a lot of ROS development. I'm pretty uninterested in experimenting with distros and just want something with LTS releases that lets me work and play some games. If I ever decide to move off Ubuntu it will probably be to Debian.
Not that I'd heard of. I did some searching and found a lot of mentions of an incident in 2016 where their server got hacked and uploaded compromised .isos for Cinnamon, but supposedly that was quickly fixed. And either way was a decade ago
One category missed though, is oldsters like me who started on slack or yggdrassyl, lived on Debian for a decade, and moved to Mint because, eh, feck it, I don't want to think about configs anymore.
That said, I use mint for my daily, and Debian for anything that does headless work.
I dunno... It's wearing a little more makeup I suppose. It has more dumb user things working out of the box, last I checked. Differentiating them has worked well enough for me that I haven't done a deep comparison in many years.
I'm currently on Fedora, but likely will be switching to OpenSuse. I've been looking at to stop distro hopping and make a home for myself finally. (I've only been using Linux on and off for the past 13 years.)
First of all:
Whoa, I always think these are stupid & random, but this is the first one I actually don't have notes for.
Brava.
Second of all:
Is that Sexual Lobster in the thumbnail??
Never seen that reference in the wild.
(Huh, prob just that Sexual Lobster/Greasy Moose (Chris Voigt) & Weebl (Jonti Picking) worked together at Albino Blacksheep)
Third of all:
Where are all the Hannah Montana Linux users?

Inaccurate garbage.

It's cute. Thanks for posting.

I'm on Slackware because what I've used since 2002.
BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz · 4 pts · 353d
And still haven't updated*
MistressRemilia@lemmy.sdf.org · 1 pts · 353d
Yeah, I guess Slackware 15.0 came out in 2002. So did 11.2.0, apparently. And whatever KDE it has (I use Sawfish on it so I have no idea, heh).
RattlerSix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 354d
I've tried a ton of distros but nothing has beat the stability of Slackware. Also been using it since around the same time

I fucking hate how accurate that is, I am anarchist (adjacent), a transgirl, and I do say nya a lot. I use Fedora tho.

Not even the man RMS himself uses GNU/Hurd or Guix, which is hilarious.

I knew RMS is supposed to refer to Richard Stallman and while reading my head filled it in as "Richard Maria Stallman"

BremboTheFourth@piefed.ca · 4 pts · 354d
If you ever need to reinstall, I would recommend Mint. The main branch is a fork of Ubuntu, but it feels far more polished in my experience.
BartyDeCanter@lemmy.sdf.org · 1 pts · 353d
Mint looks nice, maybe in a few years when I decide to build my next one.
Tja@programming.dev · 1 pts · 353d
Doesn't mint have a history of security mishaps?
rtxn@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 353d
I think you're confusing it with Manjaro, which has had several.

Honestly very accurate. In fact, I only use Arch because Void wasn't playing nice last time I tried it.

Ha, I went the other way. Did like openSUSE but fedora has more resources for a newbie.

Deb and Mint: You boring AF. You want the thing to work? Ugh, just leave.

Wrong. I respect Debian and mint users. I respect them for the same reason I use fedora.

You like to play video games and you don't like being a fedora sheep.
That and your the gamer in your group that sets up the servers and manages the mod packs while the rest of your group is on bazzite.
