    I made this mistake once and every comment was a different distro, they were all upvoted, and everyone was saying good things about all of them.

    I just went with Ubuntu.

        Well, it’s built to use Ooga, but it’s also set up to be able to handle Booga as well. It depends on the driver set you need to load Fire and Club.

        I’m tempted to commit to pretending that “Tribes” is a Linux distro that we’re all worried will gain too much popularity and hurt the ecosystem…

          I wanted to interject about how “ecosystem” is a word only used for locked-in stuff like Apple and Google, but y’know what?

          THIS is a proper ecosystem. It is actually organic, made of independent moving parts, unlike the clockwork made by big tech, internal to each and to a large extent indivisible.

      *Except for beginners

      Try a beginner distro, and when you’re done with the tutorial, go ahead and install your arches or nixes, IDC

        SteamOS was my tutorial and today I run Arch on my main system. But I like learning and I like the fact that I can build my own system and choose my own components. I understand that Arch is not for everyone but for me it’s perfect.

          Steamos is a great introduction… If you touch desktop mode of course.

          Personally I recommend Linux mint, or even KUbuntu or Cinnamon Ubuntu (gnome is not meant for windows refugees so better not show it yet)

          Also, fuck GNOME. When I tried Ubuntu in 2009 it was GNOME that made me hate Linux until I learned that KDE Plasma was a thing.

            GNOME is horrible. Looks pretty, but it’s opinionated approach means that nothing works as expected and you have to relearn how to use a stupid window manager.

          TBH I would switch to Nix, from my current long standing arch, but it wouldn’t make any difference to me ultimately. Cool concept though, but I don’t really care much about these immutable distros.

            I have to say the immutability isn’t what got me. It’s that i can propagate changes to all my machines (i have three, with different configurations of work and private users) without fuss. i have one git repo that contains the Config and all i do is git pull && sudo nixos-rebuild switch after i login and it’s done. reinstalling is also somewhat trivial and once the installer is done everything is as i want it to be. which is just bonkers to me. i love it to bits. before i had a super brittle system of dotfiles that regularly broke. nevermore

              That does make sense for such use cases, however I feel that archinstall script is also mature enough, allowing you to have config files even. Even w/o them it still has very powerful defaults. I will def give nixos a try in a VM first, as I mostly rely on flatpak and landlock anyways.

      Right? I’ll talk about my salary all you want. I think it’s great to know where you stand against others when negotiating for a new job or a raise. Especially since unions aren’t really a thing in my profession.

      Don’t talk about my penis. If I want you to know, you’ll know.

    Shame on all of you for not knowing Hanna Montana Linux is the best possible OS ever.

    I thought that it’s a fact everyone using Linux just instinctively knew.

    We need a healthy mashup OS between TinyCore, KolibriOS, ReactOS, and TempleOS, then I’ll be happy.

        I’m not even sure if this is satire or not, but is that even doable? I mean I’ve tested both FreeDOS and ReactOS before, but do they play well together somehow?

        Side note, I’ve also tried KolibriOS before, amazing project for its tiny size, still have it on physical floppy disk right now even.

          That’s like asking if MS-DOS and WinNT work well together. I guess they can both rw off FAT32 and run on x86-32…

            Hey, there actually are NTFS drivers out there for MS-DOS/Win3.11, I’ve used that for data recovery when neither Windows NT nor Linux could access the partition.

            Very little surprises me anymore, and I have no idea what all tricks FreeDOS and ReactOS have up their sleeves.

            Gotcha, no worries 👍

            Future goal, emulate Linux (any version that might work) under KolibriOS.

            I think that’s actually doable, to some extent… 🤷‍♂️

    There is a slight difference there. You don’t ask the first two because social norms have pressured those groups to focus on those elements to unhealthy levels, so asking is, on a certain level, disrupting the peace of the other person by touching a sensitive area. The third is not. The third is poking your own peace because whether they have an extreme loyalty to one or a nuanced understanding of why different ones are better suited to different use cases, you are about to be talked at for an hour about it.

      Fucking Astolfo in there… this is just too good.

      Thank you for this, you’ve made my day.

      I didn’t really like Gnome, but one day I might spin up a VM for this.
