it really doesnt matter which one you pick if youre not an absolute bloody spastic then you should be able to make any work for you like just change the font size on arch and i cant imagine that itd be particularly difficult to fix screen tearing on ubuntu also whats wrong with mint fucking faggot kys learn to use a computer

thread hijacking in progress How do I get Gnome 3.32 final on Ubuntu? even the beta. It's 2 days behind and fractional scaling doesn't work yet.
Fedora, just use RPMFusion like 99.5% of the Fedora users.

It's ass
I'm gonna give it a try

it's a pain in the ass though at least installing intelli j is
This is why Linux has a 1% market share why do i have to fix screen tearing on ubuntu why can't it just not be shit?

I can recommend you a free current Sublime Text license:
This thread is almost as nice as my valid Sublime Text license. Just paste the below into the register dialog and you're good to go. No more nagware. No more 80$ for Sublime Text. Paste this into the registry field:
>IntelliJ For Java IDEs you should really use flatpak. I use it via flatpak and it just werks.
Jace Adams
None of these are real issues. There is no point in recommending you a distros since you will no doubt find something to autistiaclly nitpick and claim that it's keeping you from using it.
Brayden Martinez
debian + backports used to be patrician tier. Generally you could update most things except maybe the DE, which is fine anyway because if you lived through a few Gnome or KDE releases you don't want that shit updating all the time anyway.
Samuel Butler
apparently you're so much of a brainlet you can't even follow archwiki instructions. no one here will spoonfeed you

You can change the terminal font to make it bigger.

Debian >Don't want ancient packages Use backports. You might as well use apt pinning but you need to be a bit more careful with that. Debian stable + backports and flatpacks/appimages fixes your problem, a big portion of it anyway. If you just want new shit and don't care if it's buggy use apt pinning

Or just use Debian Testing like a sane person.
Hudson Bell
>Autismo Ok yes maybe >Schizo Manjaro delays updates by several weeks to maintain stability and Solus is an independent project. How are they not less secure than other distros?
Aaron Thompson
this is such stupid advice. Debian specifically tells you to not use testing since it will lag behind in critical security updates. l
Adam Anderson
>Need some proprietary software >Only an intermediate user >Don't want ancient packages Ubuntu is the best choice for you, and yet (You) must be a brainlet to not solve such simple task. every goddamn distro has screen tearing, because of the graphics card. you should tackle it as: a - nvidia proprietary driver configure vsync on its xorg.conf google it, whatever. for nvidia every open source solution behaves worse b - gnome or kde let their compositor do their magic, intel and amd/ati drivers handle v-sync poorly c - whatever WM other than above install "compton", and configure v-sync on it. fuck xfce and that shitty compositor
Kayden Diaz
These are the best choices OP
Jace Flores
Debian Unstable, Debian Testing, or run Arch using the nomodeset param so install it without your strange small font problem.
Joshua Jackson
how is manjaro unsecure? just change the firewalls default policy retard
Use Ubuntu you illiterate brainlet and search the ubuntu user forum for a nvidia gpu fix

just out of curiosity, I love mint so I'm not sure why you would say: "just no" Do you not like the taste of cinnamon?

are you retarded?

insecure how? Buggy how? I can understand the bloat. But makes sense when you got lots of useful programs. Ugly how?

Not Debian >Don't want ancient packages debian testing or unstable?
Amazing reasons not to use a distro there newfriend
Parker Thomas
the developers take unmodified packages from debian and ubuntu, they are mixing packages without checking. They don't use hash verified packages or whatever, is just straight http without any hashes to check yourself. Security upgrades don't come in time and aren't tested to work on mint specifically. That adds up to being potentially insecure and buggy, no work environment will ever use something like this on crucial applications. The same cannot be said about debian, centos (rhel) and ubuntu. Even fedora is used by some developers to make downstream on Centos (Facebook does this). Bloat and ugly is just the default themes and the fact that it has no net installer. Is as shit as manjaro for the same arguments. Except you could argue Manjaro is even more shit for taking packages from arch.
Brayden Cox
I've just experienced no bugs whatsoever using Mint. I use it for my daily networking so I don't know the exact ways the system is even built. But I just haven't had any bugs running on Mint. That and I like all the packages. And, also, not tested? Are you sure? I mean, they may have tried a hodgepodge but why would it not be tested? I would think if you're making a distribution, you're probably testing it while your working on it.

Isaac Powell
Installing gentoo is not much harder than arch if you dont customize the kernel and you can customize it when you get more experienced. also you can change the terminal font.
