Pure sectarianism. Simple binary Linux, how is it better than Ubuntu?

mint > anything else

BTW, I approve of this chart

Tfw you install endeavour and after some time you consider swapping to pure arch because that icon is just so god damn perfect.

Which based OS should I go for?

All it needs is "Do you have Experience?" after asking if you have a life, and both choices go to Kali Linux

who uses shart Linux?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

I hate how good Arch is! It's like the more exciting, younger co-worker constantly seducing me to leave my wife Debian.

I switched to it not even three months ago, after two years on arch and I'm not going back. Just as if not more configurable than arch and it's actually harder to bloat with something and then forget about it, since you always have user-readable description of your current system.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Although, it's possible to bloat it unknowingly: networkmanager, for example, depends on a few VPNs noone would ever need, and one of them depends on webkitgtk, so you actually have to mkForce modules to include only the necessary stuff. Not like that's a huge issue, but I wasn't amused when I saw "building webkitgtk" while cross-compiling 😆

Since there are no arrows indicating direction, all paths begin at Arch and end with questioning who you are.

(It took me way too long to understand that "ever used linux before?" didn't have two separate 'no' branches)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

It goes to the question "geek?" Which then can be answered as "hobbyist" or "yes", but the half circle makes it weird. That's how I read it, but if you choose hobbyist you indeed get into an argument of "WHAT AM I?"

Edit: oh, the yes and no are UNDER the question if you've used Linux. The No on the left comes from another branch. Pfff, just woke up, now I even see you said exactly that. I need coffee....

Wait, it's all Arch?

Always has been.

I got lost and now I have Mint.

Something phishy is going on

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

if you are looking for a HURD based stable OS you are a bit out of luck.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What if I don't have the socks?

[–] [email protected] 41 points 3 months ago

Believe it or not, Arch Linux.

GNU Hurd/Guix aka the GNU System

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as GNU Hurd, is in fact, GNU-Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU minus Linux.

What if I'm an email administrator who came from Timex/Sinclair?
