Distro choice shouldn't matter as long as you enjoy using it. The important thing is it's not Windows or MacOS. Ubuntu would have lost all its users if it was actually horrible.
There might be a time I'll too switch to Ubuntu but I'm still happy with Debian. This might be my forever distro.

Yeah, stop distrohopping and pick a distro. I use Debian Stable + Backports with XFCE. Cannonical moves the environment too much and has done some fishy shit in the past. All the other distros are neckbeard bleeding edge novelty distros about from like Slackware and maybe one or two others.
Just use what works for you user, it's not a competition.
I use ubuntu for several server vms because it's reliable and stable.
I use arch on the desktop because I want a minimal install.
Ubuntu hides a lot of stuff from you to make it more user friendly.
Arch assumes you know what you're doing or are comfortable with a vertical learning curve.
Depends what you want...
* A working system straight away with little background knowledge - ubuntu
* A minimal system you build over time while learning the nuts and bolts - arch
Ian Hernandez
I have a theory. OS/distro complexity follows a chain, something like Windows -> Ubuntu -> Debian -> Redhat -> Arch -> Gentoo -> LFS The number of levels you move up is directly proportional to learning and inversely proportional to productivity And you'll never be completely comfortable on your current distro unless you spend some time learning the next level
At some point in life, you need to work on projects that have real meaning or impact in life and the lives of others. When you start to define your life in terms of your accomplishments, computers and software just become tools for getting a job done. If a tool breaks, discard it and use another that doesn't break and stop wasting your precious time. When you cannot define your life in terms of your work and accomplishments, lesser men define themselves by possessions or esoteric knowledge that only they have and others do not. It gives them a sense of identity and superiority but they don't understand that it's simply not important and non-brainlets simply don't care. You learned the hard way that trainspotting is a worthless endeavor. Pick a noble goal, a useful project that can make an impact, and good luck.

Here's the secret: Nobody cares what OS or distro you use. You're not going to gain 1337 hacker cred by using an OS that you have to fight any time you want to get something done.
Use whatever allows you to work the most effectively.

I've tried: >Ubuntu (XFCE) Fucking WiFi drivers don't install. >Debian Can't install WiFi drivers from *.deb package, due to some dependencies. Also back light didn't work >Compiling Linux From Scratch Was pretty good, until I tried installing *.rpm package >OpenSUSE More stable, than Fedora. Works fine. Stuck with it Could install drivers without internet, but It is safer to download for 2-3 kernels >Fedora Unstable >Arch, Gentoo Too difficult to install. No, really, LFS is easier to install.

i like xubuntu a lot. its very comfy. my desktop is openbsd with xfce. had to wroite a couple of one line scripts for things like changing volume, after that its great.

Played around with other distros in VMs like Arch, Manjaro, Debian and Clover OS but I see no reason to switch.

>>OpenSUSE muh nigga
>And you'll never be completely comfortable on your current distro unless you spend some time learning the next level not true. I left Debian testing because i was tired of not having up to date browsers, it was still on ESR 52.
went with Tumbleweed since it's rolling and werks with KDE and the little patches like the file picker fix.

Luckily I use what I like, and disregard Jow Forums, so I use Linux mint because it's comfy, and just werks, and anyone who tries to bully me for using it just gets ignored because I'm not autistic.
Charles Nguyen
Only manchildren use linux distros that arent Ubuntu
Jeremiah Lopez
I use Fedora because we use tons of RHEL at work so I'm very used to it.

Learning something, whatever it might be, is an accomplishment, if you put effort into it.
