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 βthe plateau of sustainabilityβ
I jumped straight from know nothing to valley of despair
Started with slackware, moved to RHL, worked on OL while suffering SuSE for UL and moved to RHEL.
The only intersect between me and 33 years of Linux is the darkest times groveling through the over-engineered frailty of SuSE while working on UL.
None of the rest even have a mention here
Nice chart?.~
Bazzite / Tumbleweed on different machines, still Ubuntu for homeservers.
This is pretty accurate, but I skipped MX and only recently took a look at it. Why is it there on the line? So far it seems like the perfect Distro to customize and lockdown for old people low on tech literacy to use.
Mint and Arch. Two lowest parts of the graph... Yeah, that tracks.
Fedora β€οΈ
Open me SUSE gang ftw!
But let's just all be dapper tuxedo fiends! <3
(Ngl tho, for myself at my advanced millennial old age & jaded heart/brainhole I would only ever consider the three on the right for my desktop, and Debian ofc for servers/VMs)
Gentoo but free from despair
I only despair if I CAN'T compile
I use Fedora and openSUSE but Iβm not sure if this graph is taking the piss.
I think it's just made by someone who loves RPM. Couldn't quite make themselves place Debian in the enlightened group.
It's definite ragebait.
Rare FerenOS shiny
This is quite an accurate meme. I wouldn't call myself a guru, but I'm at the openSUSE stage (Tumbleweed ftw).
It just strikes the perfect balance of the things I care about most.
If I'm using Rocky 10 for my personal laptop did I stray so far off the chart?
I even have the latest Firefox and emacs running on it!
I started with FreeBSD, Fedora, and Debian, and was comfortable on all three. I've run OpenSolaris and NetBSD in the past too. I experimented with Nix OS recently but decided it wasn't my style. I currently have machines with Manjaro and various Ubuntu distros, Windows and Mac OS.
Where do I fit on your scale?
Now I am intrigued. Where on that line would you place nix?
why is there a Facebook distro twice in here?
If you replace the Manjaro icons with POP OS icons thatβs where I am at in the middle just after the valley - also running dual booting along with EOS.
I am though at the point of my distro hopping that I want to try out vanilla Debian.
My initial POP install from almost 3 years ago I still the samme on my Lenovo P51 laptop. Pretty happy about it.
One thing is clear. I love Linux and will never go back, coming from 14 years of MacOS, and windows before that.
Im over the shop.
Started with Fedora went to Debian, then Ubuntu, back the Debian, now looking at CachyOS (arch)
Plotting a route to the peak of mount stupid, I suppose.
I've needed to change my computer within the next six months for the last five years, and the plan is to try out NixOS, because as a programmer it looks like a reasonable kind of OS, despite all the warnings to the contrary (shame it's Linux and not BSD, though... the more I learn about Linux and BSD, the more reasonable BSD looks).
I haven't significantly used Linux since I was studying over two decades ago, and I'm pretty certain the last time I set up a Linux system it was Slackware.
My plan is to read the allegedly insufficient documentation and try to figure it out from there. π€·ββοΈ
Wish me luck, I'll certainly need it.
The response to this needsneeds the Jedi bell curve where it starts with mint and ends with mint.. 'mint just works'
Half asleep. Facebook is peak enlightenment? Wtf?
Slightly more awake. Oh it's Fedora, not a half baked Facebook icon.
Goes back to sleep. Small light blinking on the Debian laptop asleep next to my bed.
Kubuntu wins.
