Starts with mint/ubuntu near (0,0) and progressing through multiple distros to end up with opensuse/fedora at what it calls “the plateau of sustainability”
Almost there. I’m on AlmaLinux Atomic Desktop GNOME. It’s freaking sweet. The main thing that kept me from an ultra-stable distro for the longest time was the lack of user packages, but now with Flatpak and Brew, it’s pretty nice. No more distro-hopping for me.
Plotting a route to the peak of mount stupid, I suppose.
I’ve needed to change my computer within the next six months for the last five years, and the plan is to try out NixOS, because as a programmer it looks like a reasonable kind of OS, despite all the warnings to the contrary (shame it’s Linux and not BSD, though… the more I learn about Linux and BSD, the more reasonable BSD looks).
I haven’t significantly used Linux since I was studying over two decades ago, and I’m pretty certain the last time I set up a Linux system it was Slackware.
My plan is to read the allegedly insufficient documentation and try to figure it out from there. 🤷♂️
Wish me luck, I’ll certainly need it.
Debian, since etch. Also, not corpo owned since birth.
Started with Redhat 35 years ago, moved to Suse, Gentoo and then all kinds of Ubuntu. Now with Mint but will soon leave for KDE Neon.
The only constant in life is change…
Endeavour
I don’t really care about others but please avoid Manjaro they had some shady finances and apparently don’t manage their certs correctly
Facts on Suse there
Mint and Arch. Two lowest parts of the graph… Yeah, that tracks.
I’m on garuda so i guess at the start on that. Already been through the valley of despair though, went back to windows and it sucked so i went right back on garuda, which has been working since.
I love how Fedora is on here in two different places. I only take a small amount of offense at Pop_OS being so far to the left. It’s decent, even if Cosmic is still a work in progress.
I keep coming back to Fedora, though. It just works.
I’m at the stage where I can’t decide whether the Debian logo reminds me more of the Sega Dreamcast or Lawry’s seasoned salt.
Probably the slope of enlightment.
I do still have Gentoo installed. Planned to daily drive Gentoo, and use Bazzite for gaming on the weekends, but I’m switching back to Gentoo less and less now a days, and just daily driving Bazzite now.
“Almost bricks their machine” lol
It’s not an iphone, breaking the boot sequence won’t brick it. But sure, go ahead, lecture everyone else…
Half asleep. Facebook is peak enlightenment? Wtf?
Slightly more awake. Oh it’s Fedora, not a half baked Facebook icon.
Goes back to sleep. Small light blinking on the Debian laptop asleep next to my bed.
Been using Debian for like 3 years now. No intent of distro hopping.
