        22.04 LTS gang

        Honestly, it’s kinda my default general purpose linux distro at this point. Set it up bare bones and headless, rip out snap, and do what you want.

        Isn’t Arch a lot of manual compilation? Like I do that shit for work, I don’t want to do it in my free-time too.

        I use Ubuntu. I think it’s funny how Arch users immediately assume they know more about Linux than me because of my distro choice. My hobby is learning about Linux and I can do that perfectly from my Ubuntu machine.

        I’ve used Arch in the past, and let me tell you, nothing crazy is going on in there.

        Yes, Ubuntu sucks because they are forcing Snaps on people while snaps are slow as hell. Thankfully they haven’t fully shoved snaps down our throats. If they don’t make snaps faster before shoving them down my throat, I’ll just distro hop. Probably to Debian. I love Debian.

            Arch user here. I have no idea what I’m doing. Killing Floor just crashed my graphics card or something to crash and my monitors aren’t working after reboots. Oh god

        When I hear someone uses Mint I think “ah, they use better Ubuntu.”

      I’ll never understand the Linux community in that aspect. We want the market share to grow but always clown on the Ubuntu users, who make up the majority of our market share. If you use Ubuntu, you’re already far ahead than OSX/Win users who complain Apple/Microsoft did a change they don’t like but still remain hostage in their ecosystem.

      (cue DING sound and image of Arch installer)

      AAAH!

      (cue another DING sound with “Akira” echoing and an image of GNOME 3 desktop)

      AAAAAAAAH!

    Sometimes you just need an undebatable excuse. I use Linux Mint because LM are my initials and I’m too lazy to move to any other recommendations

    Since developing early onset dementia, I’ve had to switch to mint.

        To be honest it’s possible they’re not joking.

        Linux mint is insanely user friendly, to the point where my father istalled it by himself as his first linux distro long after the first symptoms of dementia appeared and used it for years.

      Garuda is an Arch distro that creates a system snapshot every time you upgrade. That way, if the upgrade breaks something, you can roll back to a previous, stable system.
