Alt text: A line plot with 2 axis (confidence vs competence) referencing the Dunning-Kruger effect with various distro logos placed at different points on the line. Starts with mint/ubuntu near (0,0) and progressing through multiple distros to end up with opensuse/fedora at what it calls “the plateau of sustainability”
Started with Ubuntu, happy where I'm at 🖕🏻
I used to love Ubuntu, but Canonical has become monstrously evil and I would feel filthy supporting them. Fedora is reigning champion of “it just works” these days, as far as I’m concerned. They take money from IBM, but are still a community project.
Once you know Debian you know the Truth. All other distros are heresy and must be punished.
Praise be to Debian.
Our distro, who art in RAM. Debian be thy name. Thy processes come. Thy will be done, on local as it is in the cloud. Give us this day our daily resources, and forgive us our distro hopping, as we forgive those who distro hop against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from software patents and copyrights. For thine is the processes of power and glory, for ever and ever, Amen.
I’ve started with Debian and I’ve settled with Debian, have had no need or ambition to distro hop.
Exactly. I never understand why switch from the most reliable distro. And therefore didn't.
Almost there. I’m on AlmaLinux Atomic Desktop GNOME. It’s freaking sweet. The main thing that kept me from an ultra-stable distro for the longest time was the lack of user packages, but now with Flatpak and Brew, it’s pretty nice. No more distro-hopping for me.
I run Fedora in the Valley of Despair.
Linux Mint and haven't done anything else for over a year.
Swap Debian with Fedora and we're solid. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
I'm using Ubuntu. Please be kind
You are awesome for using Linux. Any Linux. That’s a fact
I love how Fedora is on here in two different places. I only take a small amount of offense at Pop_OS being so far to the left. It’s decent, even if Cosmic is still a work in progress.
I keep coming back to Fedora, though. It just works.
I'm at the 2nd Fedora stage but I feel like I skipped too many steps to get there.
I use Debian and Kali funnily enough. But then again im studying cysec.
Gravity brought me back to Arch from Fedora.
Pretty sure my journey looked something like:
So I think the graph is actually pretty reflective of my own experience, aside from some of the specific distro choices during my peak ignorance phase, and obviously I ended up at NixOS which isn't even on here.
I went directly from ubuntu to arch, and then fedora. My curve was like a 1st order system, without that confidence overshoot. However, I don't feel like competent today, neither I have confidence in my skills.
20+ years in, I just use the tool I know will get the job done.
LMDE on the laptops.
Arch on the media/gaming rig.
OpenBSD on the writing machine.
I mean I primarily use arch and would confidently call myself an actual expert. I do use debian for servers tho. So maybe I'm nearing the slope of enlightenment?
listen, i just want to play my games on my computer. i have limited knowledge of linux, i just host ragnarok online servers on my ubuntu mini computer, which was not a big ask in complexity. i don’t want to be a hacker, i just want to play delta force with my friend, and escape the windows ecosystem, so why all the hate?
I just spent 2 hrs last night in my Kali vm, trying to find an exploit on a web server. It was running Laravel 11.30 and vulnerable to a URL query to change the env to dev. So yeah peak of mt stupid is accurate
As a Qubes user, do I span the entire graph?
You're on the z axis
