Distro hop

I never stop hopping. Distro is irrelevant except for minor things. Emacs is my workstation and git has all my setup there to be cloned anywhere. I historically prefer to use source distros but Gentoo has really gone to hell lately.

>used ubuntu
>this shit is fucking gay
>jumped to arch

does debian cinamon takes less resources than mint cinamon? s

MacOS

Ubuntu LTS + XFCE
but my track record is about 1-2 years between distro hops and I am coming up on 2 years with Ubungooes LTS on my x220
So far...
>openSuSE, 07-09
>FreeBSD (Not Linux I know), 09-11
>Arch, for about 6 months
>Fedora, 12-13
>Gentoo, 13-17
>Ubuntu, till present
I am thinking about going back to some BSD with XFCE, but VSCode doesn't work (well) in BSD
and I don't want to go back to full autism Emacs hell.

ElementaryOS
Everything just werks & it stops autistic me from breaking shit

arch and libvirt,
still can fuck with everything I want to and make sure the grass isn't greener but have far more control over my data than the likes of whoopsie.service

arch, minimal, took a long time to set up, want something more customizable (gentoo) but I know that will take even a longer time to get comfy with, so I am just getting really good on arch and systems programming before I make the hop to gentoo.

Arch? Minimal? Haha, go back to plebbit

I hate linux

realizing that my choice of distro doesn't matter since I spend two hours reconfiguring everything in a fresh install to the same Mac OS 9-looking theme and then replacing half the shit the distro comes with with the same shit I've been using for years. At this point the only way I can tell distros apart is by the package manager they use, in most cases I don't even install a desktop environment right away since I know I'll just be tearing whatever they preinstall with their DE down as soon as it's ready (except for Manjaro whose shitty Architect installer breaks all the damn time when I use it).

Currently using Windows 7 on my desktop, but I don't have the time to make stuff anymore so it's been demoted to just being used for either porn or for doing shit while I'm eating that I usually do on my phone.

>MacOS is actually pretty good
I agree, but it's not enough to save the disgustingly overpriced hardware which is the only (official) way to run it

yep i settled on debian + xfce on my x61s and solus on my x220

I really want to use openbsd because I agree with their philosophy however their technology is just too old. They refuse to come into this century.

I've distro hopped a lot, but I always end up going back to windows.

plain fedora.

Debian netinstall+i3 for me. That's it. Find what you like. You retards constantly spamming stupid shit. Clearly, whatever you like is what is right for you. Stop "hopping" any distro can be whatever you want. STOP with this fucking bullshit. Pic related. It's what a bunch of fucking faggots want you to do but have no legitimate reason for making you do anything. Manual breathers all of them.

Y?

Fedora.

Almost no issues, on the rare occasion there is a problem, the community is the most helpful I've ever seen.

Very new packages, while still extremely stable. New features every semester.

Honestly perfect for me. I don't think I'll ever use anything other than Fedora or CentOS.

Probably because there are less windows systems than Linux distros.

Unironically Ubuntu

Opensuse Tumbleweed.

Arch
It's not nearly as unstable as Jow Forums memes, it doesn't come with any useless shit that gets in my way, and I love that I can install basically any package ever with a single line in terminal

Mint for my notebook distro hopping.
Windows for my desktop distro hopping.

This.

>ubuntu + xfce
it just werks

Zorin OS

uwu

Debian+i3

I got things to do with my computer so I didn't need my computer to be something to do.

Arch + DWM

I just installed fedora, I get a new boot entry at every reboot, how do you solve this?

Aw shucks, I'm just a normie friend, I don't exactly know.
I use Fedora specifically because I didn't have to deal with that kind if thing.

Did you use a live-USB for the install process? Are you running it on a VM?
Maybe its a BIOS thing.

Honestly I have no idea, I would ask on the Fedora forums or Reddit or something. Good luck!

Fedora + GNOME

yes I used fedora live usb to install, now i'm updating everithing maybe it will solve.
I usually use ubuntu but I just want to try fedora, which I find much more buggy than ubuntu

MacOS.

Sorry, the globalization model, that apple and all the silicon lvalley advocate to, prevent me to have the money and I cannot afford it.

Unironically arch. I still use xfce though, it's just so good.

arch + i3
it just werks

Windows 10

gentoo + stumpwm for 5 years now. allows you to customize and automate just about everything

first timer linux user right here, I'm installing Mint "Tina", hope i'm not regretting this, time to leave Windows

When I realized that Ubuntu could do everything I needed it to do with minimal hassle, and that all of its flavors are basically interchangeable. Before that I used Corel Linux, then Slackware, then tried out OpenSuse for a while, and a bunch of Debian-based distros like Sparky and SolydX/K. Then I finally saw the light with Ubuntu 13.10, and accepted that it was the way to go after updating to 14.04 with zero breakage and no issues.

arch, been on it since 2012

Tried Ubuntu to find out it's trash.
tried trisquel to find out it's soviet trash.
then arch
then manjaro.

Beautiful Manjaro/BSPWM

Wallpaper

Parabola. It's perfect. If it ever goes under I'll move to Debian. Both with i3 gaps.

How do you get around the proprietary blob issue with the kernel?

My sides

fpbp
Gentoo + i3-gaps on a T490

I don't use hardware that requires it.

Fedora. Just works and constant updates keep any urges to switch and check something new away.

Great artwork.
I found using openbsd generally harder (maybe because I wasn’t used to it idk) and it’s security promises break once you try to install anything else on the system. What exactly does openbsd offer a minimalist linux distribution doesn’t?

This century was a mistake. I'm really hoping they hop into the RISC train, maybe I'll send whatever my meagre savings allow to fund a port. Or even start one myself if I get my hands on a kit.
Nice dubs

Debian + KDE. Xfce is good too, I keep it installed for the months where KDE decides to shit itself. I roughly went:
Pre-2007: fucking around with various live cd's
2007: Debian + Xfce
2008: Obama/KUbongo, going back and forth
2012: Mint > Mint LMDE
2014ish: SolidK
2015: FreeBSD, PCBSD, Mint LMDE
2017: Debian + KDE (+Xfce), *BSD for various servers, edging slowly into OpenBSD for old laptops, current setup

Void+mate

I tried Suse, manjaro and arch now using Mint Cinnamon for desktop. Its just perfect.

As long as you learn, you won't regret it. It is a good stepping stone, you could do worse.

For me, it's Debian + i3. Xfce as a close second.
I've tried to change to something else a couple of times, just to kind of confirm that I haven't just fallen for a meme but I always came back to that combo.

Arch Linux + XFCE + Compiz
I love KDE, but man that DE is bloated AF and requires too many depencencies even for the basic functions...

What did apt ever do to you? ;_;

arch + gnome Wayland

What parts of the OS are too old for you? The kernel's hardware support is certainly limited compared to Linux, and the performance is a bit worse in my experience, but the pros outweigh the cons for me.

It takes some getting used to. IMO the "security promises break" is FUD - all of the packages are audited and OpenBSD specific features enabled, like unveil for Chromium. Additionally, they recently enabled package updates from -current for -stable so packages are recent.
>What exactly does openbsd offer a minimalist linux distribution doesn’t?
A coherent operating system that I can basically fully understand. The fragmentation of userspace software on GNU/Linux becomes apparent very quickly once you spend time with OpenBSD. There is one correct way to do everything.

Yes but the difference is negligible

isn't that a known bridge?
anyone knows what it's called?

ubuntu/ubuntu variants
and xfce
lately raspibian/xfce .. sweet

GTFO.

Out of everything, I stuck with Manjaro for a couple of months. Then an update fucked everything up. Came back to Windows 10.

fedora
you're asking like that's a problem?
it shows up to 5 kernels to boot into, you can reduce it changing the number in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf so it deletes the older kernels
