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.

I'm on Slackware because what I've used since 2002.

[-] RattlerSix@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

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

[-] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 21 points 2 months ago

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 โ€” I have the programming socks, after all. Besides, anarchist trans catgirls throw the best parties

[-] abbiistabbii 8 points 2 months ago

I fucking hate how accurate that is, I am anarchist (adjacent), a transgirl, and I do say nya a lot. I use Fedora tho.

[-] scroll_responsibly@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 months ago

Where do seasoned, leftist, graybeards/hairs fit into this gender binary?

[-] BartyDeCanter@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] BremboTheFourth@piefed.ca 4 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] BartyDeCanter@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 months ago

Mint looks nice, maybe in a few years when I decide to build my next one.

[-] Tja@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

Doesn't mint have a history of security mishaps?

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I think you're confusing it with Manjaro, which has had several.

[-] BremboTheFourth@piefed.ca 1 points 2 months ago

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

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Not even the man RMS himself uses GNU/Hurd or Guix, which is hilarious.

[-] fleck@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Magnum@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

Its Richard Matthew Stallman

[-] int32@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 months ago

I use bedrock with Artix and devuan(I also wanna try chimera), none of those distros are in there, so am I free to not be a femboy?

[-] hellfire103@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 months ago

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

[-] yaroto98@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Cevilia 12 points 2 months ago

It says that you're unique and special and very very clever, well done :)

[-] yaroto98@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Awwwwww shucks.

[-] lennee@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

im on arch cuz it respects me

[-] BonkTheAnnoyed 7 points 2 months 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.

[-] pmk@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 months ago

What does Mint bring that makes you choose it over Debian on the desktop?

[-] BonkTheAnnoyed 2 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] hperrin@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago

How dare you be so accurate.

[-] TechAngel@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

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.)

[-] ghost_towels@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

Ha, I went the other way. Did like openSUSE but fedora has more resources for a newbie.

[-] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

Iโ€™m on CachyOS. What does that say about me?

[-] seralth@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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.

[-] AstroLightz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I use Arch Linux (BTW), and it was very accurate. Dont ask me for help. Just RTFM!!

Using NixOS at home and I swear I'm not a furry! At work, I use CachyOS (Arch). My wife is sad that there was no mention of Solus..

[-] aurelian@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

Nixos! There are dozens of us.

DevOps/SRE crowd love reproducibility.

[-] fleck@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Currently doing embedded and I wish Yocto would be based on Nix and not its own language. But I'm starting to get used to it

[-] Zoot@reddthat.com 2 points 2 months ago

The bazzite call out made me so happy :')

[-] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Everyone else: Weird fun quirky fun

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

[-] abbiistabbii 2 points 2 months ago

Wrong. I respect Debian and mint users. I respect them for the same reason I use fedora.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

First of all:
Whoa, I always think these are stupid & random, but this is the first one I actually don't have notes for.
Brava.

~~Second of all:
Is that Sexual Lobster in the thumbnail??
Never seen that reference in the wild.~~
(Huh, prob just that Sexual Lobster/Greasy Moose (Chris Voigt) & Weebl (Jonti Picking) worked together at Albino Blacksheep)

Third of all:
Where are all the Hannah Montana Linux users?

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I've used a few of them, but there are also some missing that I used for quite some time.

[-] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

Debian on the proper PC.

Bazzite on the Deck.

... of course with a Debian environment set up in DistroShelf for when I am spurred to futz with dev work on the Deck.

... I am an apocalypse oriented gamer / dev who hates Windows, by this video.

Uh... yep, yep, no notes really.
