Never ask a woman her age.
A man the length of his penis.
And Someone who posts memes like this how long they had to dig to get to this ancient stereotype.

It depends on whoβs asking. But if itβs someone who is curious about Linux, itβs always Mint.
Yeah. "I use OpenSUSE tumbleweed, but have reasons I've been thinking about switching. I consistently hear that mint is a good place to start, or maybe pop!os if you're looking to run games"
I don't actually even say the first sentence unless the question was "what do you use?"
Sometimes, if it's clear they're trying to revive very old hardware I might help them search for something built around being lightweight.
I'm mostly happy with tumbleweed, except that I have the nvidia repo set up and am convinced that it's causing issues. One of these days I'll look into how to try the nouveau drivers and/or how to get from my current setup to dualbooting pop!os without disrupting things I need for work.
Also, an update straight up broke emacs while i was in crunch time once, but I learned to be more careful about my update timing.

The one you fucking feel like using. God, stop trying to make tribes mandatory.
Never heard of it. What packaging system does Tribes use?
Well, it's built to use Ooga, but it's also set up to be able to handle Booga as well. It depends on the driver set you need to load Fire and Club.

Mint is (subjectively, for 90% of people), because something a lot of Linux nerds seem to forget is that the average computer user does not even want to think about their operating system. 90%+ of people who use a computer want it to turn on and just work for the things they want to do, and for like, 99% of the time, Mint has been just that for me for a solid year and a half. I adore it for that reason, and wish more Windows users would just try switching to it. I understand the apprehension not to, having tried other distros over the years (and having fought with Bazzite on my steam deck on multiple occasions), but it really does "just work".
like I get it, some like to fiddle-fuck with their OS, and that's cool, but that does not appeal to the majority of people and pretending it should is asinine. Some of us want to view and use our computer as an appliance/a means to an end, not a project in and of itself. When I used Windows and had issues, you know how much fun I had digging around in Event Viewer, or Group Policy Editor, or Regedit, or Control Panel? Zero. Zero fun was had. Same amount of fun I have dicking around with Linux. I want my computer to turn on, do what I tell it to, nothing I don't (this is the sticking point that got me to leave Windows), and god damnit if it breaks it'd better be as easy as googling an error message (which, Mint also has enough reach/widespread use that it usually is). Anyone who disagrees, I applaud your patience, but that is simply not the way I and most other people operate.
And salty Linux ricer downvotes get me moist, so bring it on, dweebs.
Pop os is easy and doesn't look like windows 95
you must've not seen Mint in a long time if you think it looks like Windows 95, I'm using it right now and it looks much nicer.
Further, that's really not the cutting dig you think it is. Windows 95, for all its boxy, gray 90s aesthetic, was a very clean UI with minimal bullshit. If you like ricing your desktop/want it to look fancy, great, I'm happy for you. Most normal users, on the other hand, really don't care how their OS looks as long as they can find what they need to. For normal users, the OS should be an invisible plinth that other programs you actually give a fuck about sit on top of. Mint stays the fuck out of my way to that end impeccably well.

Itβs NixOS
Pfft Linux is too mainstream... I run BeOS and OS/2 Warp.
Pfft, those are still maintained (Haiku and ArcaOS respectively) and so corporate man.
TempleOS all the way baby. Nothing is more powerful the the almighty HolyC.
I like Ubuntu but Rocky is also fun.
Cant take EndeavourOS from me.
Once you get out of a monoculture, you start to better appreciate that 'best' is a subjective term.
Some distros are better for some users (and purposes) and others for others.
But it's got to be Mint ;p
I use Nyarch, btw.
Holy shit I lost it after Material UwU. The system requirements and FAQ (including a famous Torvalds quote) were excellent highlights as well.

You don't need to ask, because they will tell you their thoughts regardless.
Just switched to NixOS recently, after years on LMDE.
I'm a simple man, but I love Fedora
Iβve bounced around to plenty of distros, Fedora KDE is my current daily driver.
Why is Tux flipped, is this some sort of subliminal message? Is BigTech behind of this meme?
Oh, oups. That's a remnance from a meme I made a few minutes earlier. However now Tux is looking towards the text, therefore this was all planned.
We need a healthy mashup OS between TinyCore, KolibriOS, ReactOS, and TempleOS, then I'll be happy.
Why not just ReactOS atop FreeDOS?
I'm not even sure if this is satire or not, but is that even doable? I mean I've tested both FreeDOS and ReactOS before, but do they play well together somehow?
Side note, I've also tried KolibriOS before, amazing project for its tiny size, still have it on physical floppy disk right now even.

I thought you said healthy.
You're right, we also need a CP/M terminal running on top of the Minix kernel..
