Why should everyone use your shitty distro?

kubuntu, had to fix some small stuffs but it werks
use debian testing. ive been through arch gentoo debian stable and debian unstable and ive finally found a distro that is minimal and stable and still has new software.
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
Fuck GNU

I'm still hoping you grow a brain one day.
Pulling for you, buddy. Cheers.
Ubuntu*
going to shill elementary because it's visually appealing (and pantheon is a piece of shit to configure on other distros) and underneath it's ubuntu LTS so it's really stable if you don't mind ancient packages
alpine xf86-video-vmware driver segfaults on X startup, great distro you got there
xubuntu.
windows 7
how do i find instructions for setting up pantheon on other distros/OSes?
my dream is to have pantheon running in FreeBSD or PureDarwin. it would be just like having a mac, but FOSS

Fucking cuck piece of shit! Suck my dick, sjw.
*hugs*
Crux, because is the best distro!
>i’m not a noob!

I really liked the way elementary looked, but I was running into issues with it which made me sad.

Are you using the image meant for virtualized guests?

Anything debian other than stable is a huge meme. Once you go testing or unstable debian becomes the most broken distro in existence where literally nothing works.
I use Void because its one of the few 32 bit distros that actually works well for me. Everything else aside from Xubuntu would give me major problems in the 32 bit iso, and I don't have a free as in freedom wifi card which leaves a lot of other distros out of the picture.
For any computer I use for work:
Debian stable with the backports repo.
Takes a while to set up, especially if you buy your components individually. After you set up though, it works well and never breaks. All the code (C, Octave, Fortran, Python) I write is very portable and I can depend on libraries working more-or-less the same across other operating systems.
5/5 highly recommend.
For personal use machines, just use whatever distro makes you happy. They are all linux and any statically linked code will work fine (assuming architecture is the same).
Gentoo
no i did an install from the rootfs tarball, not that it should matter as it’s probably related to the meme libc.

This is plain false. Arch has the biggest and greatest wiki. Ubuntu is one of the slowest distro to get packages. Those "tutorials" that tells you which ubuntu packages you need to install something is only there for ubuntu because ubuntu is missing a lot of packages in the package manager. For arch you dont even have to follow those "tutorials" as you can install the software directly from your package manager.
On ubuntu you need to hunt for repositories on the web, making software experience similar to windows, which is just awful.
As an example, compare these two:
yarnpkg.com
yarnpkg.com
As you can see, ubuntu makes simple things complicated and that's why you need your "tutorials".
>solution on page 14
My entire Ubuntu experience so far.
> learn about computers!
Ah yes, because following a guide on a wiki and typing "install (package)" teaches you so much about computers.

Arch is overrated.
>Once you go testing or unstable debian becomes the most broken distro in existence where literally nothing works.
Nice meme. I've used Debian unstable for a while now and it just werks. On a laptop and desktop too.

Pick one
systemd is free software
any other fedora bros here?
Why are you riding towards a kernel?
>Red Hat approves this message
ugh corporate shills...
really like Pantheon but their super out of date packages are the reason I switched to Arch
fucking conformist
Manjaro xfce, it was made for brainlets, it looks nice and it is "lightweight"
