I currently use debian stretch on my laptop and have used gentoo, arch, ubuntu, slackware, and others. I am considering putting debian on it as well. What do you think Jow Forums? What is the best distro for desktops and why?
What is the best GNU/Linux distro for desktops?
>Gentoo and Arch fangirls shitposting in 3,2,1...
I personally like Arch/Manjaro with MATE/Cinnamon (muh new packages and rolling release) but Ubuntu MATE and Mint are also very nice
pop_os because it has the ubuntu repositories with a classic gnome experience on a sleek sexy reskin. Looks good, strong repositories, better software manager than Ubuntu, programs look and feel natural on the OS
Fedora Openbox
If you've used all these distros before why would you need to ask? No need to lie on an anonymous imageboard, friend.
You know these are free, and trying all of it is just few hours on VM?
I have used all of them on a laptop but not a desktop. I always set them up as minimal as I can because I have to. I probably still will even though it's not necessary. I enjoyed them all personally that's why I asked why people thought they were the best, if somebody has a good reason to use one over the other on a desktop then I will consider their opinion when choosing. Unlike you I don't always hold my opinion at such a high standard like a pretentious faggot.

Try a real distro you fucking pleb.

Gentoo is a pretty good distro. If you have a decent processor, you can compile everything from source. That's why I love Gentoo. Arch is great too.
yea it is between slackware, debian, and gentoo at the moment for me I think. I know they are different but they all do what I need. I am not a fan of Arch's package management, it is a bit bloated but other than that it is a good distro.
