Aurora mentioned π
It's basically Bazzite but not for gaming. Batteries included and immutable/atomic. Easier to use than Fedora Kinoite IMO.
I use Aurora btw.
Ah, the zoomer distributions /s
Well fuck Debian apparently
If Torvalds himself said it wasn't worth installing, the average user shouldn't sign up for the misery of stock debian.
Does anyone have the original of Gayku? I want to trigger some rednecks.
I do not, but I like your motivation. I isolated him as best I could from the source image
There are only five distros. Arch, Debian, Gentoo, Fedora/Red Hat, and Void. Pretty much all others are just Arch or Debian with preinstalled desktop environments, theming on top of said environments, and preinstalled packages depending on the intended use case.
Not a knock nor a praise, just a truth.
The truth is that you failed to mention the distributions derived from the openSUSE project.
Very fair. Forgot about OpenSuse. Thank you.
I can understand missing Chimera Linux, but how could you forget Alpine?
Or how about ΓΎe venerable
or ΓΎe current fad
Γat's at least 9 distros wiΓΎ no common ancestor... no, 10, b/c Slackware.
Fair. I suppose adding on Slackware, OpenSuse, and NixOS is in order, as they each have their own package management solutions, which to me is the discerning factor for most of the base distributions. That said Gobo Linux is a weird one I've simply not heard of until now. Thanks for the heads up.
And Alpine, the one @Sxan started with.
Alpine has apk, and is (or it should be) the most used base for container images. It is very small, smaller than Debian, so containers built on it are secure and performant.
If you've never worked with Docker/Podman/OCI containers, you've been missing a lot of good stuff, and you may have heard of Alpine via the amazing "I use Linux as my operating system" copypasta:
"I use Linux as my operating system," I state proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. He swivels around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision. "Actually", he says with a grin, "Linux is just the kernel. You use GNU+Linux!' I don't miss a beat and reply with a smirk, "I use Alpine, a distro that doesn't include the GNU Coreutils, or any other GNU code. It's Linux, but it's not GNU+Linux." The smile quickly drops from the man's face. His body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth and drops to the floor with a sickly thud. As he writhes around he screams "I-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT'S STILL GNU!" Coolly, I reply "If windows were compiled with GCC, would that make it GNU?" I interrupt his response with "-and work is being made on the kernel to make it more compiler-agnostic. Even if you were correct, you won't be for long." With a sickly wheeze, the last of the man's life is ejected from his body. He lies on the floor, cold and limp. I've womansplained him to death.
Yes, also fair enough. Alpine as well.
So let's see. This adds us up to:
Arch, Debian, Alpine, Slackware, Opensuse, Gentoo, Void, Fedora/Redhat, Nix.
And yeah I've used docker with Alpine before. I think i used ot as a base to setup redis, postgresql, and some other service a while back. I'm not hating on any distro, just very forgetful of even what I read 15 sec ago.
On my old MacBook, I have Fedora. On my work laptop and gaming PC, I have Nobara. On my home server I have Ubuntu server.
There is no best distro. You should try a few and find one that suits you. If you want something that just works and is relatively stable, go for Fedora. And if you have some peripherals or devices that require proprietary drivers, like Nvidia GPU, broadcom wifi, then go for Nobara.
Mint and Pop_OS are also good.
Suse Linux is dropping tears...
