DISTRO WAR

The debian shills are strong. Luckily I'm installing debian soon anyway :)

hmm

good job do you want a cookie?

who's paying you and how can I participate?

you need to become a wizard first

i have installed systemd at least five times

I use Debian because it rarely requires updates, and they never break your system. It's absurd how many major bugs make it into rolling release distros. Even Gentoo's stable profile has horribly broken packages that would never be included in Debian.

i use debian testing. i install from the netinst then change the apt sources to point towards testing by name. that way it gives me a rolling release because i don't like doing dist-upgrades. i kind of wish they didn't use the names testing and unstable because it's misleading. even debian "unstable" is miles ahead of arch in stability and "testing" has less updates and is more stable than standard fedora. i've never had testing break in the 3 years i've been using it.

debian a best

nah, I do think they're appropriate. I certainly have had shit break in Debian testing. Not much shit, but enough that I notice it. And to be honest testing is still way too bleeding edge for my tastes.

OpenSUSE, werks on my machine.

I used Debian, but I couldn'n manage to use the Spotify web player with Firefox due to DRM stuff, so I switched to ubuntu. Do you know if the situation changed?

I dislike systemd and I like free software. I've got Parabola OpenRC Edition on my second most used machine and I've got GuixSD on the main machine. GuixSD is really cool, but you have to read documentation to figure anything out, and if you don't know scheme it can be tricky to deal with the config, but it's doable. Parabola is just a free version of Arch. It's pretty much as you'd expect. Pretty good.

You probably don't want me to tell you to do things a different way, but isn't there a desktop application of spotify you could use instead? I won't get started on how I hate spotify and think everyone should just download their music.

yes

I'm using Debian stable on some shitty netbook to run pi-hole

Debian gave up. They're just an another Red Hat distro at this point, just with a different packaging method.

Using spotify in a web browser in addition to AbBlock makes the ads between songs go away. So I find Spotify a really good place to discover new music and then download it :)

Right now I'm enslaved by Windows because of work, but of the distros I used in the past I liked Solus most.

>pi-hole
my man

Well I never got it to run on Ubuntu and it just works on Debian soooooo

While I still use Debian stable for my server, I jumped ship to Manjaro these days.
Reasons: great reps on aur
rolling updates that just werks
no need for lengthy extra configuration, most stuff I care about can be already resolved in architect

Inb4: too lazy for Arch; you're right.

based on which empirical conclusion was arrived at debian a shit

fedora

Gentoo , only if you want spend 10 years real life to configure your system and start work normally

KDE Neon

I like that it comes with almost zero bloat, love the semi-rolling approach, also performance is pretty good...an overall great KDE experience.

Ubuntu on my laptop buy I'm thinking of trying manjaro

I have a debian homeserver that I haven't had to do much with

Do it, Manjaro is comfy

I mean clearly the only option is Devuan.

have they really not even gotten Stretch out yet?

Cannot rush aboslute perfection

Slackware.
Comfy, easy and I can feel liek a 1337 haxx0r.

Dislike all distros.unfortunately, there is no normal operating system.

>Both RedHat and SuSE started to publish the bastardized and defective variants of cdrtools from Debian in their distributions.
>If you have problems on RedHat or SuSE systems, first fetch a recent original cdrtools source, compile it yourself
and run the original instead of broken software that illegally claims to be cdrecord.

My conclusion is nobody cares about this piece of software

Debian testing

just go to askubuntu and see how many

there are

>My conclusion is nobody cares about this piece of software
and cdrtools is the backbone of brassero k3b xfburn and more
still irrelevant?

suse, redhat, fedora, ubuntu, debian and based distros are all using cdrkit instead of cdrtools because of licensing issues though. They cant include it in main repos because the dev though its a good idea to combine CDDL and GPL.

debian lxde 4 ever

But my netbook doesn't even have an optical drive

I cant believe you’re STILL posting about this.

NEVARFORGET it's like anuda shoa

We use Ubuntu LTS for our simple servers at work. I find it incredibly heavy for the simple shit we do and wish it was Debian. I feel like I "should" pick CentOS because muh enterprise but I just know where everything is on a Debian based OS
I use Debian stable on my personal server. Unironically want to change to Arch at some point when I can be fucked. It's a pretty basic web / mumble / whateverthefuckineeditfor server so I don't need to worry too much about dependencies blowing up from updates like DEs do. That or Gentoo but every time I try to install Gentoo I get too autistic about making everything as minimal as possible and give up trying to configure the kernel because it takes too long to learn what every flag does.

Arch because I'm stupid newfag at Linux and arch wiki helps me a lot.

and the 14 gorillion years plus STILL not fixed

All distros allow for ricing and are easily customizable. Because you are customizing userspace, which is largely the same across all distros, sans package manager.

If you think you need Gentoo for ricing, then you probably don't have a clue. Unless you want to rice your useflags you are just wrong.

well if it did you would be able to use it anyway because of your shit distro :^)

OpenSUSE. I like the logo.

>STILL
How long has it been?

>no valid concerns about Red Hat/Fedora's inclusion of "cdrkit"
what an ass, just go over any google link and it almost always boils down to the broken debian fork

well if it did you wouldn't be able to use it anyway because of your shit distro :^)

>when you realise the logo is a symbol for debras monthly blood loss going down the drain

Windows and Archlabs

Who the fuck wants to burn cds in the year 2018?
Store your porn somewhere else.

Using Debian 9, but there are some annoying bugs, so I'm planning on giving Kubuntu 18.04 a try.

not an argument or excuse for intentionally and knowingly distributing broken software with NO warning the clueless users

I didn't say that. Just amazed someone's still burning cds.

I've used Ubuntu, Debian, and Arch extensively, and played with Fedora a bit. As much as I hate to say it Ubuntu I pretty much only use Ubuntu now. Arch was great for learning how Linux works, and the ArchWiki is the shit. But it gets to be a pain in the ass after awhile. That comic about the arch users calendar was spot on lol. Nothing wrong with Debian, there's just more prepackaged software on Ubuntu.

Linux From Scratch, because fuck yeah!

As a long time Debian user, I can confirm that the updates within a release are rock solid stable, even in Testing. Hell, Sid seems more stable than some rolling distros. But upgrading to a new debian release can be hellish.

I love solus, my only issue is ive had trouble with multiple displays of differents resolutions.

Also a severe lack of packages.
Its been my daily driver for close to a year now though. Cant wait for the bid update.

>pi-hole
How have I never heard of this?

>cdrtools.sourceforge.net/private/cdrecord.html
I'm sure quite a few people run linux on older hardware that won't boot from usb. I only got rid of mine a couple years ago.

/thread

Kek, is that true?

CentOS

>napoleon and the sphynx
is this a crypto KANGZ reference?

Debian stable here. It's pretty much like Windows for hackers. Fedora can do the job too, but I already choose Debian.

which bugs do you have on the most stable distro out there?

KDE sometimes locks up when a USB device is inserted.

Debian Stable -> Debian Testing -> Ubuntu Mate 18.

I'm not a huge fan of Ubuntu myself but it's where I'm at currently. I've been doing a lot more graphics programming and libraries are more often to be in Ubuntu's repo

Fedora(kde), has all the bloat I want but not as untrustworthy as canonical.

probably
if even unconsciously

Yes the stretch iso is in beta

If you wanna use KDE I think Debian is not the best option imo, since it ships the old stable version (5.8), even on testing is still old, so that could be the reason of your random lockups, just get another DE or just switch to a newer KDE version in another distro.

lurk more

Kubuntu 18.04

it's the smoke that devices (microchips) give up when something goes wrong, e.g. the magic smoke that powers devices

Parabola, because freedoms, flexibility, pacman and the PCR.
Arch, because flexibility, pacman and AUR.

i just glanced at that text rendering of the logo and saw "dummy" repeated throughout
