Screw that You’re all great everybody from slackware to steam deck.
to steam deck.
to SteamOS
Steam Deck is weird. I mean, I love it, but coming from vanilla Arch it can be frustrating at times. Discover is terrible. Luckily, Distrobox is a thing.
I putz with Discover sometimes. Though I have no idea how it resolves package updates under the hood, as it often will produce a different manifest than running dnf itself.
What would you like to see improved?
I usually can’t find what I’m looking for, so a larger catalogue would go a long way. I also had problems with some software versions. The one that comes to mind is that Firefox had behavior with the save dialogue that I don’t like. It’s a minor issue, but one that I don’t have with the build in the Arch repo. I have a vague memory of something just not working, but I couldn’t tell you what at this point.
Ah, I see! Yeah, a bigger catalog would be nice. You can add more repositories to it, enable Flathub, which provide more options, but something about it does feel hamstrung.
The Firefox thing is something I know about! You can set a config option in the
about:configpage to tell Firefox to use your desktop’s standard dialogue. It has to do with XDG Desktop specifications, I thinkIt uses the system dialogue, but it starts from the same directory each time. If I’m saving files it’s usually multiple files in succession, so I want the dialogue to start off pointed at the last directory I saved to. The Arch build does that.
Ooohh! Interesting. You’ve got me curious about that now. I’ll have to look into it.
Slack where?
For as much as Linux nerds (myself absolutely included) complain about distros like Ubuntu and Manjaro, I’d still take either one over Windows or MacOS any day.
That’s all well and good, but can we talk about proper use of this meme template?
Shouldn’t it be “further”? farther is for physical distance, further is for figurative/metaphorical distance.

I’m using debian btw
I’ve been rolling Debian more and more this year. If you’ve got solid Linux chops, it’s really great.
I also really like LMDE, it’s what I run on my Business laptop.
Just setup Mint last night and have been troubleshooting how to get everything to work. So far I’m liking it. Last thing I setup was Lutris for gaming so that’s nice.
Which edition of Mint?
Cinnamon
Anakin no doubt uses Oracle Linux
The only wrong choice.
EndeavourOS
Same. I have zero clue how to use it but anything’s better than windows.
I just open the Welcome app, and click the first 4 options to update like once every week or so.
The best one, of course
Of course! There is nothing like Hannah Montana Linux! 😌
Fedora Workstation 40.
On windows until last year, after trying 11 on my T440s which made it unbearably slow so had to start over but instead of going back to 10 tried a bunch of distros.
Fedora stuck, mainly because of gnome vanilla (I really like the paradigm, don’t care about deep personalisation) and how everything just worked great.
Fight me?
I’m an unwashed Mint peasant. Tell me how inadequate I am.
I love Mint, it has become my workhorse distro. I use LMDE on my personal business laptop. I switched my parents from Windows 10 to Mint earlier this year, and it’s been great on their very old and low power desktop.
Cinnamon is not the prettiest or slickest DE, but damn if it ain’t the most stable DE I’ve used.
I’m a KDE fanboi myself, but when I spin up a machine that I need to just work in a super dependable way and is no muss, no fuss, I usually choose Mint with Cinnamon.
There is nothing wrong with Mint EZ mode. I got a computer illiterate buddy with a 8 year old shittop running it like its new.
You’re completely adequate as you are my minty friend!
I run distro, btw
I finally joined the Fedora nation after being on Arch for a long time. Both are great.
Same, Fedora’s my main driver at this point. It’s the only one that seems to support being close to the edge that well without instability. And I no longer have the patience or risk acceptance for Arch/-derived systems at this point, as much as I enjoy using them as a hobby and to preview the latest tech stacks.
Been running Bazzite for a month and having a great experience with it! My nvidea cards work with no hassle, and with the extended proton I have had issues with only 1 game so far, and even that was fixed by just switching to a different version. Only downside so far is that Wayland doesn’t work as well as X11 on my DE, but with the rest working great, I have no complaints :)
Whichever one you chose is the wrong one!
One of the main reasons I’ve stayed on the sidelines. Lol
Every time I get close, I read about something else screwy.
lol, just try one for a few months and then switch at some point. At one point in my life I was switch distros every two weeks to a months with some stable distro for 3-6 months. But it was an exciting time in 2004-201. Lot of variety back then on how a distro worked
Tumbleweed!
