    The kind that pretends he understands the terminal output before entering “Y” after pasting in a decade-old user script suggestion on stack exchange.

    Mint. Couldn’t be arsed to have anything windows like at home, because I am tormented by win11 through my job.

    So yeah, mint it is. Runs my slicer, 95% of my games and emby.

    I am happy

      I’ve yet to encounter a problem with mint I haven’t been able to solve with some googling and chatgpt. I love it.

      Runs… 95% of my games and emby.

      Nice! Last year, I would have assumed this was hyperbole!

      But I just setup Steam on my new gaming rig recently, and sure enough - at least according to Steam - I have better than 95% compatibility with Linux in my Steam Library.

      I’m sure having a SteamDeck for a few years affected this %, of course.

    Not that much of a computer person, just switched because the hardware requisites for cities skylines listed for Linux were lower, but with time I really got into it, I love using and ricing Linux and I’m glad I got to skip all the w11 shitfuckstorm.

    Still too lazy to learn arch, currently on LMDE.

    finger on the trigger while not actively aiming at a target? this one is definitely a “run commands as root instead of using sudo” kinda linux user

    My favorite OS is mint because I don’t care about my OS beyond it running the programs I want it to run and it staying out of my way. Similarly my favorite car make is whatever I can buy used for the cheapest and my favorite body wash is the stuff I steal from hotels.

      Mint is a noob distro. I’m a linux user for nearly 30 years. I run Mint (on my desktop), because I can’t be arsed fixing something that works.

    I installed arch thinking it would be hard but worth it, and then I found out it’s easier than I thought and now I’m having a bit of an existential crisis that I’m finding the “hard” distro to be easy.

      there is only one “hard” distro and thats linux from scratch. Maybe nixOS due to lack of info and needing some time to get into the mindset of how nix does things.

        Yep.

        Many touted as hard, merely require a little reading and patience and following instructions.

        Gentoo, GuixSD, CRUX, OpenBSD, KISS/Carbs, Joborun, DecibelLinux, Dragora, etc, aint so hard.

        Exherbo though… Many times I’ve tried make it my daily driver, and failed.

        LFS… It’s hard getting through the tedium.

      Ya, I think the information around arch’s difficulty is still rubber banding slowly. It hasn’t caught up with the times tbh. I run into some issues infrequently but like so did I on Windows. It’s also almost always proportional to how much I mess with the system. My mom could run Arch today if she wanted to.

    I use Gentoo on my mail server because I’m too lazy to learn a new distro.
