Mint is supposed to go with lamb, not beef. This whole infographic is suspect.
NixOS is completely plant based
I'm vegan btw
Microsoft Windows
Elementary OS
Tofu Linux when? ๐
That's BSD. It's better for you, but most people don't like it
I like the concept of BSD and would concede that it's probably the better Os but the thing Linux needs more than anything in Market share, or people to accurately use the damn thing if you prefer less business speak, and I think supporting FreeBSD would just fragment the small user base even further.
IRL this is bleached with grounded chicken. Not tofu

universe
Universe's

I think you're talking about the GNUniverse?
I agree, Linux Mint has been well done.
Mint isn't well done, it's full on congratulations
Jokes aside - I was planning to do a Linux build, does that mean I should skip Ubuntu and go Mint? Iโm going to be using the build for media and gaming (emulation)
i went from windows to mint, having a good time with it. This isn't my first attempt at making the switch, but it is the last.
One of my previous attempts was with Ubuntu, and it looks like it would be easier if I was familiar with mac.
I prefer mint over ubuntu. Also, I dont know about anyone else, but for me transition from windows to mint was easier than transition to ubuntu or pop os
There aren't many reasons at all to use Ubuntu over Mint, and in fact there are many downsides to Ubuntu these days (package management and installation being the worst). Get a USB drive with at least 4(?) gb of space and make a live install of Mint then give it a whirl. Odds are it will meet your needs without a lot of effort.
BSD:
Eat ze bugs/arachnids
Actual Unix:
So does that mean Windows is a hot dog made up of all the leftover bits like beef lips?
Primarily anuses (anii?), some of which still have feces on them.
Where does Debian fit
Dry aged.
Grass that sprouted close to lake with cleaned waste water two years after you have eaten it.
Makes sense!
Dry cured jerky
The beef has been aged for 2 years and you actually forgot it existed
Give it to us raw and wriggling
So, Slackware?
Anybody like there steak raw enough a good vet can still save it?
My wife, and that's the line she uses when she orders steak at a restaurant.
Great taste in steak and in women my friend!
So is qubes the heigh security fence erected around the cows?
I use Gentoo btw
Wtf
Guess that means I should switch to Fedora.
Veal: rewrite the source code in Rust without access to the code.
I guess Fedora is ideal for gaming? But otherwise, is there a reason to use it rather than starting with Ubuntu and just install your own cutting edge features as you choose your own upgrade cycle? (Just the fact that they are all bundled together I suppose?)
Bazzite is built from Fedora and is phenomenal for gaming
Yes it's ideal for gaming, for that reason valve has chosen arch. ๐ There are reasons one of them it's the desktop distro as far as developers go. Not only gnome, but kde as well. Fedora is great.
Tap for spoiler
almost as good as arch
Debian tends to be a liiiiitle bit behind Fedora and because gaming on Linux is accelerating in popularity, being ahead can provide big gains in performance.
Can you manually handle all of that? Sure. I mean I have Mint on my side desktop with a custom Kernel but I recognize that I am dropping a V8 into a Mini Van.
I just spent yesterday fucking up an nVidia driver upgrade in Ubuntu for no appreciable improvement in transition freezing in the Dead Space remake.
But otherwise, is there a reason to use it rather than starting with Ubuntu and just install your own cutting edge features as you choose your own upgrade cycle?
I'm ride-or-die Debian, but I switch to Fedora when I need a more recent package set.
I do so to avoid Ubuntu/Snaps, which contains some closed proprietary bullshit, which I personally find to be a pain in the ass.
That's a good point that we don't have to be locked into just one. Do you dual boot that? VM one inside another? Or probably you mean on different hardware?
Yeah. Usually different hardware, sometimes just virtualization.
Thanks to the open container initiative (OCI), I haven't been tempted to dual boot in a several years.
Hint: :q!
