        Yeah, I guess Slackware 15.0 came out in 2002. So did 11.2.0, apparently. And whatever KDE it has (I use Sawfish on it so I have no idea, heh).

      I’ve tried a ton of distros but nothing has beat the stability of Slackware. Also been using it since around the same time

    Inaccurate garbage.

    I use Arch because I’m old and set it up just the way I want it years ago and never have to change or reinstall. How dare you accuse me of, what was it, being a cranky asshole?! Wait.

    /s

    It’s cute. Thanks for posting.

    Recently I joked to less techy friends that in the patch of the internet I most often lurk, there are two “genders”: anarchist, trans, cat girls, and libertarian techbros. This seems similar to the joke that was made about Arch.

    I run arch btw. I am neither trans, nor a catgirl, but there is no question about where I belong — I have the programming socks, after all. Besides, anarchist trans catgirls throw the best parties

      I knew RMS is supposed to refer to Richard Stallman and while reading my head filled it in as “Richard Maria Stallman”

    Honestly very accurate. In fact, I only use Arch because Void wasn’t playing nice last time I tried it.

    What happens if my distro is never mentioned in these run-downs? What does that say about me?

    I’m on Ubuntu because last time I built a computer I was doing a lot of ROS development. I’m pretty uninterested in experimenting with distros and just want something with LTS releases that lets me work and play some games. If I ever decide to move off Ubuntu it will probably be to Debian.

      If you ever need to reinstall, I would recommend Mint. The main branch is a fork of Ubuntu, but it feels far more polished in my experience.

          Not that I’d heard of. I did some searching and found a lot of mentions of an incident in 2016 where their server got hacked and uploaded compromised .isos for Cinnamon, but supposedly that was quickly fixed. And either way was a decade ago

    I feel seen. Descriptions were apt.

    One category missed though, is oldsters like me who started on slack or yggdrassyl, lived on Debian for a decade, and moved to Mint because, eh, feck it, I don’t want to think about configs anymore.

    That said, I use mint for my daily, and Debian for anything that does headless work.

        I dunno… It’s wearing a little more makeup I suppose. It has more dumb user things working out of the box, last I checked. Differentiating them has worked well enough for me that I haven’t done a deep comparison in many years.

    I’m currently on Fedora, but likely will be switching to OpenSuse. I’ve been looking at to stop distro hopping and make a home for myself finally. (I’ve only been using Linux on and off for the past 13 years.)

      You like to play video games and you don’t like being a fedora sheep.

      That and your the gamer in your group that sets up the servers and manages the mod packs while the rest of your group is on bazzite.

    Everyone else: Weird fun quirky fun

    Deb and Mint: You boring AF. You want the thing to work? Ugh, just leave.
