Starting a new team at work, and colleagues are either Windows babbies or MacOS sellouts.
I want to force them using Linux because we're doing game servers, and other OSes simply don't make sense.
I personally use Arch at home but I know they'll put cyanide in my coffee if that's what we're going for. So I need some suggestions for an "error-proof" distro with latest gcc, so rolling preferably.
get them all 2019 macbooks. the macintosh fans will already have one at home so this will just be for work, and the windows fans will be publicly agitated however secretly elated.

>Arch I hope to god that you are not using that for your server
Andrew Rodriguez
>I want to force them using Linux do you really hate working there that much Just use linux yourself and then when they see how much more efficient you are they'll be sold
Elijah Martinez
>I want to force others Nope.
>Arch Glad this is bait, otherwise you'd probably end up in a bad situation.
Jonathan Butler
This is for development, not deployment. Of course we don't deploy on Arch.
Samuel Gomez
Give the "macsellouts" elementary OS And the "windows babies" mint If you cant give them different distros then just give them ubuntu or something.
Dominic White
don't be retarded and just use debian stable >game servers actually on second thought, quit the job and get a better one at a real company that makes something besides children's toys and doesn't need it explained why windows and macos are baby operating systems
Jonathan Williams
You clearly never tasted the sweet AUR cock, you faggot.
For that salary, I wouldn't even mind sucking dick all day long. Doing important work is highly overrated.
Mason Roberts
CentOS for your server, development or deployment. If you develop on a rolling release and deploy an LTS REHL things are not going to work in the transition.
Camden Brown
That works too,but it requires set up

Debian for team workstations. - consistent, stable, predictable CoreOS for authentication server. - enterprise standards with community effort (or RHEL if you want support) Fedora for personal dev workstation. - rolling, spot pitfalls, newer packages/kernel and features originate here that will slowly travel down to centos/RHEL
Adrian Rivera
LOL of course its the archtards that'll chimp out over this enjoy being unpaid tech support LOL

Ryder Adams
Thanks, this the answer I was looking for.
Samuel King
But using Linux on the desktop is retarded, OP. Stick to the server.

OpenSUSE for everything, servers and workstations. Tumbleweed for rolling release, Leap for stable. Optimized KDE, simplest package managing, best documentation. Can also get you official support if you are willing to pay for it, same as Red Hat.

Linux is a kernel. You use it it operating systems to allocate machine resources.
Never worked on game servers (not a dev but am in software) but CentOS is normally reasonably lightweight and inexpensive - and can be spun up on your platform of choice pretty easily - whether it is azure, aws or rackspace for example
If you put your colleges in the position in where they are frustrated to work with their equipment their work efficiency would greatly suffer from this, and further more it will infect you negatively. Your Linux suggestion is valid and why don't you ask your colleges for their opinions on that topic?
Don't force idiots to use linux. They'll make the community worse

If I was working with mongoloids who wanted to use windows on a server I'd quit.

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.

Listen here fucko
1) unless you're in a third world country, it doesn't make sense to use anything other than a mac
2) unless you're a cloud provider, it doesn't make any fucking sense to "run" your own racks.
3) unless you took your programming lessons in the college of athens and pythagoras was your professor and you learned pl2 on a stone tablet, you would know that you can't make any asssumptions about the hardware or software your servers run. so it doesn't even matter what the personal workstations run.
4) if you wanna be a gay fag and run arch at work, you should probably be free to do so, just expect lower pay because you're obviously a sub-performing brainlet.
5) i don't understand why you would want to force an os on anyone anyways, it's not like you'll be using their workstation. intellij looks the same on any platform.
Henry Nguyen
Other OS's make sense as long as they get the job done you autist, don't fix what is not broken.

>real company that .. doesn't need it explained why windows and macos are baby operating systems
what is that mythical "real" company that spends 90% of its revenue on internal IT support and still manages to survive?
Robert Rivera
come to think of it, this is real autism, isn't it?
OP is used to something, and anything new to him symbolizes a loss of control, an inversion of his world view.
Not even joking, OP might be a literal autist. what do you do with people like that?

You are most likely not going to be able to force them to use the Linux ecosystem. It takes a decent amount of time before someone is comfortable being able to use the command line for everything, and even longer for someone to start taking advantage of things like bash scripting.
If you are really going to try and push it on them, just make them install Ubuntu. For the love of God don't make them use anything more complicated or it will just create more work for you cleaning up their messes. I know Ubuntu is bloated but look it's pretty damn good for a beginner, a lot of things work out of the box, and there is such a large community that makes fixing / learning how to do things is pretty easy.
For your server I would use CentOS or RHEL. They are both compatible with each other just CentOS is the free version and RHEL has Enterprise level support. They are both fantastic and are incredibly stable. I have worked for companies that have used many different distros and the ones that always have the least problems are those two.
