Diversity is a huge strength of Linux. We should encourage users to use whatever works for them.
As much as I agree that it's super nice with all these different flavours. It does make it more difficult for beginners to understand the eco system.
Back in 2007 a Linux user wished on a monkey's paw that Linux would be the most popular operating system in regular use, and then Android was unveiled.
Maybe it was only said as a meme, but, I like gnome quite a lot. I find it about 10x less annoying than W10/W11 and 7x less annoying than MacOS. What else should I be taking a look at though?
That reminds me of the meme about the guy putting a crowbar at his bicycle wheel.
I have no problem at all about you using gnome; except if you come to me complaining about gnome. Even worse if you come to me complaining about Linux by reciting the shit gnome does.
lol true :P All that matters is that you're on Linux, unless you use anything other than Arch
the only ones I know are far enough from it that it would be in bad faith to judge them on that
It's all good, diversity and shit... until somebody asks "How do I install Kali Linux for daily driving?"
Reminds me of when I was looking up an issue for Kali Linux and saw like 10 different reddit threads, all full of “don’t use Kali Linux unless you know how to use it”. Which was very helpful when I had to use it for my coursework.
Side note: the most downvoted comment contained actual advice that fixed my problem.
The strangest choice I've seen for a daily driver is I had a friend who used Knoppix as his daily driver. He started using it on a thumb drive when his computer died, so he just used a thumb drive and random borrowed computers for a while, after getting used to it he transfered the install to his new laptop when he got it.
I sure hope you posted this from a distro that I like, if not then there may be consequences.
that's cool... on a side note have you heard of our lord and savior Arch Linux? You should use it btw (/s)
You're obviously a basement-dwelling, Mountain Dew swilling neckbeard! I hope your mom burns the tendies again tonight!
Mint with Cinnamon here. It just works. I maybe google how to troubleshoot something once per week max 👌
But it’s not cool unless you know how to install arch (doesn’t mention that there’s literally a script that does it for you)
Shaming people for using Ubuntu or other “easy” distros is how you prevent people from joining the community long term. We’d be better served by being welcoming and understanding of people
Weird seeing this today. Just had a vendor say he was impressed that I jump from Arch to Alpine to Ubuntu to Windows throughout the day for work. They're all good stuff. Btw, I use nano, and will now accept the flames of retribution.
