No doubt 😂

This new Linux pizza distro is delicious. They are 100% open sauce

For the love of Arch Linux 😍😍😍

That moment after you do a fresh install of an OS and think "Wow everything is so fast and so much space"

I totally agree

How to kill a lot of Linux users in one go without being accused of murder:

1) Write on social media "which is the best Linux distro and why?"
2) Watch them fight and kill each other
3) Profit

When I try a new distro:

About to install a new linux distro.

Re-checking if I am about to format the right partition for 25+ times.

I really hope I won't fuck this up.

My reaction to System76's new distro:

When even your Linux distro decides to start trolling you... 😂

Hands down, best linux

The real battle of distros......😂😂 even till now I have not settled on a Linux distro to use I am always testing them(for 3 years)

Choosing your Linux distro

I do not give a flying fuck which Linux distro you are using.

1) Install Debian 9
2) Select GNOME
3) Hate GNOME
4) Uninstall GNOME
5) Install LXDE
6) Love GNOME

English is my second language. Today I learned Fedora is not just a Linux distro. It's also a name of a hat.
Guess the old logo made sense.

Deepin Linux. I like you a lot. But the fact that I can't install any software right now means I'm going to leave you.

Goodbye Deepin and hello ChaletOS Linux!

So just today I stumbled upon Deepin OS (Linux Distro based on Debian) and it looks amazing! Arguably even better than Elementary OS :D Has anyone else used this distro/what do you think?

*FAQ*
Q:why did you make such a great OS.
A:I thought what would attract young users to linux.
This distro even has a song.
link: hannahmontana.sf.net

Just finished installing Deepin OS on my old laptop as an attempt to get familiar with linux (coming from win10). It looks gorgeous, I got at least four orgasms from the installation process alone. And it comes with lots of cool apps preinstalled (Chrome, Spotify, Steam, etc). So far I'm very happy with it.

It's like windows knew I wanted to burn a Linux distro to a usb

So I've setup Manjaro and I freakin love it. It looks great, it feels great and Octopi is such a huge help. So hyped to... let it rot on my Laptop as I dont really use it much.

Want to be a pro Linux hacker? Just type this one simple command!

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/

It will solve all of your problem! It automatically installs the best Linux hacker distro!

My MacBook finally died after 5 years (got it when I was 14). Looking to get a non-Apple replacement for windows/Linux dual boot. Any suggestions? Also, any Linux distro suggestions for a n00b?

"I'll stop using Windows, Google, Youtube, Facebook, etc and move to a fucking hipster unsupported linux distro, so that they can't spy me in my top secret activities such as watching porn and browsing /r/me_irl"

sigh...

New to Linux.... Installed Manjaro xfce in an old laptop.... accidentally activated warp speed xD

Me every day:
So I just found this new distro...

I should be studying, but what am I doing instead? Trying out all kinds of linux distros, partitioning my hard drive, trying to install a linux distro ... Help

I’m so happy I finally did this on an old imac! Bye macOS! This feels so smooth. Next: Change that to Mint and learn the commands etc.
It feels so f****ng good! If xcode runs on linux I would change that on my main machine too! It’s just much cleaner, faster,... I would never go back.

When Linux is life, and you are open source fan, but you have to use windows system at work......

Ubuntu GNOME 17.04. with some customization looks like I will settle for this as my preferred Linux Distro.

Do you have a main Linux distro or do you keep switching?

I wish I can stop switching, but I'm never satisfied after using a distro for about 6 months.

First I tried Mint, then Ubuntu, then Kali, and I'm currently using Zorin.

I still have a long list of distros to use, but I'm wondering if anyone else has a certain distro they use or if they're constantly switching.

1.) Make Linux slightly more popular on the desktops.

2.) Windows 11 is actually a Linux distro.

3.) Let JavaScript burn in hell

My friend told me that there is a new Linux Distro which runs on any Hardware and didn't install a single driver. [Excited Me asks] which distro is it?
.
.
.
.

LIE-NUX!!

Idea:

What if there was a service where you press a button and it tells you a random Linux distro to install along with giving a list of good things about the distro and some download links?

I'm resignating from Arch, Ive used it this week for a school project and as a linux newb- I cant do a lot. I have no clue how to print stuff, where to find my connected networks or how to connect to them etc. I like what it offers and I know it can be good but I'm too new to all of this to effectively use it. BUT I'm not giving up, I'll try Manjaro next as I read that it's newb friendly and I really like how it looks.

Also attached an screen of my Arch setup: i3gaps, plasma and whatnot

Anyone Linux user here in devRant ? If yes, what distribution are you running ?

Downloading Manjaro...

I have installed Arch Linux and I love it!!!! Is my favourite distro.

Ever met another programmer, and after finding out they use Linux, proceeded to correctly guess which distro they use just by the way they look and talk? :D

Switched to Arch from Debian. Should've switched a long time ago.

I chose my Linux distro based off how friendly the UI looked.

This is how to commit dev suicide.

Who here uses Elementary OS?

System76's Linux Distro Pop!_OS is “objectively beautiful”

What is your story of your first encounter with a Linux Distro?

Here's mine (Slight long version) –
Back in my 8th grade I used to buy Tech magazines that used to have DVDs filled with random updated contents like Audio/Video tools, Wallpapers and other stuff. There used to be this "Linux Distro of the Month" section that I used to ignore because I didn't know what it is.
But one issue of the magazine had a review of this "amazing new" Ubuntu 10.10. I read it and at first I thought it's some kind of theme for Windows (I know). But then I tried it out on my HP Compaq nx6120 which had a pure BIOS. No UEFI shit. Ubuntu came with it's wubi installer and it installed Ubuntu smoothly like a normal software. Later I discovered that it is a completely different operating system that doesn't run anything from my Windows. I was upset about it and I booted back to Windows.
But I never removed it. I felt like exploring what it was and why people use it.
It's almost 9 years later and I'm so glad with what had happened back then.

Ain't this the joke of the year.

I have to confess. I'm a distro hopper. I've been a distro hopper ever since last year, and it got me tired. I spend entire hours checking distrowatch, partitioning, setting up hardware and drivers and passwords... I've tried to stop, I swear, but every time I do, there goes a new Solus release, an Openbox Debian based new branch, a forensic floppy disk that I know that I won't ever use for real. I just love assigning swap, fighting with rEFInd icons, testing modules, navigate trough different configs... Oh God, I even set up a virtual OpenBSD, just to see what it can do.
My friends have been telling me to stop, because I don't take care of our relation, that I'm becoming a monster. It's shameful and embarrassing to me when they ask me about my day and I say "you know, installing Manjaro on my desktop, and Lubuntu to that crappy old Asus I have for backups" I think I'm going to lose my head some day, this sickness is driving me straight down to the Slackware pits. I should stop it before I try Ratpoison environment but truth be told; I mean not to stop. I'm a distro hopper.
I ride my way live, unstable and restless.

Installing Arch Linux packages! Can't wait to dive into this distro!

I had a great dream where the perfect Linux distro was on my computer (like windows had never been) and I understood it well and the world was right

best Linux distro for programming?. i honesty dont want to buy a mac just for programming if i dont have to.

Im trying to find a Linux home!

Been using Ubuntu for about a year now for schoolwork and before i was on arch Linux.

Just wanted to hear from devrant what distro is your favorit?

Finally made the jump from Windows to a Linux Distro. Literally took me more than a year. Im getting used to it. 🤓

When you're sick of Arch Linux ability to brick your system and you try to install a more stable distro like Linux mint.

Medium long story about POP!_OS

TL;DR : A true K.I.S.S. OS. Very well designed UI. In general suitable for everyone. Any distro-hoppers MUST try out. If your current OS is already heavily customized to your needs, DON'T bother with POP. (Read till the end if you are on toilet, nothing to lose)

Backstory : I am never a fanboy of anything although I am loyal to the tools I use daily. So OS is also something I picked and use to meet my needs except when I was a student. My first linux experience was about a decade ago with ubuntu. Have tried almost all kinds of light-weight and minimal distros after that (lubuntu, arch, mint, puppylinux, fedora, centos and others I forgot) during my student years.

I like all things minimal. ("Keep It Simple Stupid" is my email signature.) When I started working, Windows became the sole OS I use since it met my needs better than others. Except that one time when I tried Elementary. Although I found it a good OS, it didn't get installed as a dual-boot. I don't find Elementary minimal. It is one of well designed OSs but I still think it can be improved. (Plus I had this weird feeling that it is similar to Mac OS)

At the start of this year, Widows alone was not enough for my needs. Decided to look for a minimal linux distro. My old i7 ASUS has 8GB RAM and roughly 250GB free storage. So I am not that worried about hardware requirements. My main struggle is downloading stuffs. (Few of you guys must know by now the speed of my internet LOL.) Well, even if I had a good speed, I will still look for minimal distro as first priority. So I went with minimal ubuntu image and xubuntu environment. Although I do not like the UI design, it is acceptable. Through out the years, I have configured it to suit my needs and currently pretty happy with it.

Thoughts on POP!_OS : To me, it is literally like meeting a young girl who is perfect for my life. She has the perfect body, beautiful face, amazing appearance and good manners. And she is young, of course there is a lack of experience issue. But it can be taught and she has a very high chance to become a wonderful lady if she continues like this. Only crap is I already have someone and in a committed relationship. So I could not go any further than introduction. I do save her contact and will keep in touch with her online. You know? Things change. Things always change somehow.

Never erase a f*c%ing python installation on you Linux distro, its not funny.

This reminds me the best Linux distro

Linux Distro with dark material design and all basic apps like browser, file manager etc also materialized and platform for developers to develop apps for this distro so that their apps look and work perfect in it!

What linux distro should I choose to be my primary OS?

P.S: I have used linux before

People talking about NVIDIA drivers on Linux and how bad those are. Pretty sure that if I had any recent GTX 1080 I'e be able to actually play Rocket League on any fucking Linux distro. AMD drivers are worse. How the fuck can I have my RX 480 work in 3D applications (read: Rocket League) on any other Linux distro than Ubuntu 16.04? The internet doesn't have a solution for me.

TIL you can make the smallest implementation of Debian:

Use only busybox and APT
Remove sysd and use busybox init

Holy fucking shit, let's make this an actual distro and call it debsmol

Today I am going to install Ubuntu on my girlfriend's computer as she want to start learning basics of Linux. Any other distro recommendations for a noob in Linux?

And now I want to learn more about it.
Any advice will be appreciated

Linux on the 3DS is going well. Others have no issue at all, but I've gotta fix issues with the toolchain executables being named wrong, the provided, precompiled toolchain everyone else uses being the wrong one and being incompatible...

Any distro for a windows user for years who want to give a try to linux ?
A simple distro with a pretty interface, easy to use/configure

Hi, my name is bohr and I'm a recovering distro hopper.

It all started with Ubuntu, out of my frustrations with the unintuitive nature of DOS I gravitated to a Unix environment which Ubuntu naturally solved. But I quickly became annoyed with the laggy nature of it's daily usage. So I switched to Linux mint. Loving the HTML/css/js configuration aspect of cinnamon I thought it was the answer to all my problems. But I became annoyed with apt and it's lack of a few programs I wanted. This got me to look into an arch based distro, because pacman seemed like the answer to my problems. Unfortunately there are way too many arch distros to use. I experimented with antegros' many DE options: gnome, kde, i3, deepin, openbox... Always finding something wrong. I tried manjaro and it's many flavors, still being annoyed with minute aspects of the os. Out of frustration, with the deep configuration settings I was getting into and the need to actually focus on the work being done on the computer I crawled back to Linux mint. But now my friends, I have decided that maybe it's time to just use a more established distro? Maybe gnome isn't actually that bad? Maybe I need to give it another try? And that is why, I promise, this is the last hop for me. Arch Linux, Gnome here I come and I'm ready to commit this time!...

But have you guys seen POP!_OS? Woah, I bet it would solve all of my problems....

What linux distro would you recommend to a complete noob at linux?

I'm learning docker and I just started a container running a Linux distro.
What was the first command I run in the container?

Why can't we create a devRant Linux based os. Just for fun...

I want to reinstall Linux on my laptop, and want to use something new. I've been using elementary on my laptop, and Fedora on my desktop. What distro should I use?

Hey guys, wanna install Linux first time, but had some doubts.
Config - core 2 duo 2.93GHz, 2GB ddr2 ram, 320 hdd, AMD graphics card.
Doubts :
1. After writing it on usb and setting it in usb boot mode, the system didn't read the pen drive data ... is it because of the writing software ... I used power iso.
2. What about the partitions ? Do they still remain and will the install guide only ask to format the c drive or the whole hdd ?
3. Which distro do y recommend... I had kali/debian/fedora/mint in mind
My friends complained about fedora taking 45 seconds to boot up, I don't know about the other distro's ..
Thanks in advance

The worst type of frustration and shock is when your Windows boots up faster than your Linux Distro!

After couple of hours I made a list of different anti virus programs for almost any Linux distro:

And some other ones:

Just ordered my new notebook :)

Now I have one week left to decide which distro I should install

I know that there are plenty of linux users here so please: comment your favourite one with some reasons why you like it so much :)

Which Linux distro can handle 4k well? I was a bit disappointed with Mint and elementaryOS

Finaly weekend, time to check out a new linux distro!

So I do web development and video editing.. i am also a Linux user but I want a change. could someone suggest a distro with decent support and also a desktop environment with a very clean flat ui?

To be fair I'm actually grateful for Windows 10! If it had never frustrated me the way it did I wouldn't have seriously tried out any linux distro as a daily driver 😂

What are your favorite distros for Linux? I'm new to Linux so I'm just curious on what's out there that you guys use most and what's most convenient for development! Also can I PLEASE get some upvotes I want an avatar so bad lol

I've finally decided. My next Linux distro: Manjaro Linux, Deepin edition!

How to start an argument: Best distro for programming?

Hello, i want to start using linux. this is my first time. which distro should i start with? is it ok to start with Manjaro instead of Ubuntu?

It's my yearly cleanup day, when I fully nuke down my windows installation, to clean out all the installed trash and residue.

Have moved all important data and I will be ready to fully refresh my computer as soon as it syncs, heres the question though.

I decided this time I'll create a dev vm, so I can just each time reset to point 0 and also because I miss having local development.

What new linux distros or flavours are out there that would be worth looking at? (I saw things like ubuntu budgie being mentioned)

If you use it and it doesnt break if I sneeze, mention it, I am open to getting to know other environments, even if its not my usual debian homeplace.

What's your favorite Linux distro? Mine is currently Linux Mint

Day by day linux distros are increasing..! I'm trying one distro per week (you can call it as weekend timepass ).. ;-)

I am so freaking behind. Just found out today, my dual boot Linux distro was basically a waste of time, because of "Bash on Ubuntu On Windows". Can't wait till I get this thing setup to my liking, and we'll see if it can replace a full distro. (For once not a post bashing Windows 10 lol)

Why does it seem like most people despise Ubuntu even though it is actually a good Linux distro?

After using Linux mint for only one week I feel a growing urge to change my distro.

Is this normal?

I can't decide which linux distro i should use...
Should i take Kubuntu 18.04 or Ubuntu 18.04?

Windows is bloated and expensive Linux distro. Change my mind! 😄

I'm going to try to switch over to Linux (dual-boot at first), but I've been trying to figure out which distro to use. Any suggestions?

Also, if you have any tips for me, you can leave them in the comments too

Hey guys, I've decided to remove windows (again) and want to install a distro in its place, can you suggest some?
I'm learning pen testing so Kali is something I used to use on VM, also Ubuntu for random stuff.

Anyone able to recommend a good distro to try out?

Stuck with arch and Ubuntu so looking to try something newish.

Dear devs, what is your favorite linux distro 💻?

@linuxFanboys
I'm getting a Chromebook, and, obviously, I'd rather wget all my webpages before I use chrome as my main os. so any recommendations for distros? I want a good, smooth ui, kinda like what windows was aiming for but so terribly messed up. I want apt package manager, and I wouldn't mind pentesting tools, and it has to be light enough to use on a computer with 4gb ram and 16gb ssd. I assume it's implied with linux, but I want one that's generally consider to be secure. I plan to run android studio (I expect it to be slower than a commodore 64 running windows 10), eclipse, gcc, if that helps. any suggestions? thanks!

Got my first ever fully working non-derver Linux distro running - yay! Living room streaming rig - here we go!

Which Linux should I use for a dual boot for my PC? It shouldn't be too hard tobuse cause I'm an absolite Linux beginner.

What's your favorite Linux server distro?

How can I learn to use Linux effectively as a developer? I’m a first-year CS student at university and based on what I’ve read here and on the web, I need to know the Linux system and it’s various distros. Any resources are greatly appreciated 😁

xUbuntu is my new favorite linux distro 🐭

I keep changing my linux distro, I like to have a taste of all of them. What's your distro and desktop environment right now?

What linux distro do you guys use?
I was looking for a simple one to start with. For now i just use it for C, Java and some python.
What distro should I pick?

WTF!!! Are you kidding??! I changed 3 Linux distro to install fucking Torch!

So I finally decided to switch to Linux.
And I need help choosing distro.
I know this is not a good place to ask this, I could just use google. But I want to hear it from you guys, from actual devs whose work with it every day, and not from some ***** bloggers whose barely know what is OS.
So please just write which distro you are using and if you are happy with it. I will be very thankful.

Looking for a Linux distro that looks and feels like MacOS. Before you respond, pleeease don't recommend me these:

Elementary OS | Takes forever to update to latest LTS, and the pre-installed software is terrible

Deepin | Severely outdated software repos, and I hate the deepin desktop for many reasons.

Backslash Linux | Under development by devs who don't know what they're doing.

Pear OS | Discontinued

"Setup something yourself" | No, piss off.

This is probably a noob question, but I'm not a linux noob. I want something clean & simple, and I was wondering if someone perhaps found some hidden gem distro that emulates Mac OS, doesn't have outdated software repos, and is maintained by people who know how to use their brain.

Advice from Linuxers
what is the best linux distro from your experience ?

Elementary OS, Ubuntu or something else?

Best Linux distro for a dotnet developer and complete linux noob. Also if it can be really pretty?

What Linux distro are you using?

What is your favorite Linux distro and why?

Why do people use Fedora instead of Ubuntu? I know Fedora is a more up to date, but is that important? In my eyes Ubuntu does literally everything better, from basic usage, web servers, and ease of use.

A few months ago I switched from Windows 10 to Arch Linux on my main computer and the upgrade is incredible. I knew it would be, of course - I already had Linux on my laptop. But wow, on a dual monitor setup, and with the motivation to set it up nicely, it's brilliant.

My question is, what's everyone's favourite Linux distro, and why? Pictures of your desktops would be cool.

Can someone recommend me a Linux distro with good hardware integration and stability for my laptop?

Is there a good, free software only, security and privacy focused Linux distro out there? I am basically searching for an OpenBSD but as GNU/Linux.

I use a Mac for developing. I'm thinking of using a VM with a linux distro to develop in my Windows machine. What's a good distro for developing Node/React apps?

I have dabbled with Linux quite a few times in the past (dual booting with Windows) and I'm looking to get into it again. Any recommendations? Any horror stories?

So far I've daily driven Ubuntu, Mint, Manjaro, and CrunchBang. KDE and Gnome are my go-to DEs.

It's really hard to explain what is Linux, after someone normal user see my laptop and ask what's windows is this 😶

Recently I see people installing Linux distros to their Macbooks. Is MacOS that bad? I mean I use Ubuntu in my daily life but let's accept that most of the Linux distros (for desktop of course) has hickups. I haven't used MacOS but there is a big company maintaining and optimizing it for just few machines. What is the point installing a Linux distro to a Mac?

I have a lot of free time now so time to move from Debian-based to Arch-based distro :D

I simply can't choose so I just picked up Antergos. Heard a good thing or two about Manjaro but eh for now let's just randomly pick.

Once I get familiar with this, probably will move to Arch Linux itself.

Any linux distro recommendations that works well in a virtual machine? Would like to try Linux but I still use Windows for my everyday C# and student life.

There's a special place in the very bottom corners of hell for whoever programmed the current Debian installer. There's an even special-er place there for people who actually ship their distros with that fucking disability of an installer, Kali Linux and Parrot Security specifically. I'm not booting from USB either because I don't have much space and it's buggy anyway.

Because of it, I can't install any pen testing distro to my PC. There's backbox but it's garbage with very little tools. I can't get wifi to work in blackarch, and there's NOTHING else even worth looking into.

Stop trying to make gold out of shit. Re-spin your distros with Ubuntu instead, which is a Debian derivative by people who actually use their brain. Let Debian die a painful death because it's maintainers do not give a fuck about their work. I can't be in the minority here. Even Linus Torvalds said he hated Debian and that was a long time ago but my point still stands, maybe.

Name the worst linux distro you’ve tried

Mine is Enso OS, its unreliable at all

Unpopular Opinion: Windows 10 with Subsystem for Linux is the best Linux distro

Hey guys, has anyone got an idea which Linux Distro I could use next? I've already been using Mint, Debian and OpenSUSE but now I'm searching for something different.

What linux distro do you run on your workstation and why did you chose it?

Strongly thinking about fully switching to Linux. I love simplicity but also want to use a good looking environment - Any recommendations? (Distro-wise and DesktopEnv-wise)

My current favorite distros (without trying tho) are Manjaro, PopOS, maybe Arch? (not sure how complicated it is, really.)

Coming from Windows, i'd probably use a VM for Photoshop and Lutris for gaming. Anything else will be lovely native :D

Would be nice to hear about your experiences and recommendations! ^^

Got myself a ssd for my old laptop today 😊, suggest me an disto , previously I was using elementary os

Why do you like Linux... Any distinctive reason?
Side question, your fav distro? Why?

If Microsoft/Apple develops a Linux distro how many of you will like to use it?

Gullibility test! ++ this post to begin.

So after using a handful of distros I think I will be using Manjaro for now. What is your favorite distro?

So a few months ago I got a computer with Windows 10 on it, and kind of ditched the shitty laptop that had Ubuntu (I loved Ubuntu, fucking despised the laptop, since keys were sticky or missing and it couldn't last a few minutes off the charger) so just now I decided to try Linux Elementary, since I'm getting sick and tired of Win10!
Don't judge me, I'm not skilled enough for Arch...

Distro hopping is a desease (now testing Solus) 😥

I'm thinking of making a Linux distro, what do you say, yay or nay?

Fedora updates messing with your WiFi drivers is irritating AF!

Linux distros are like candies, every distro is so sweet in its way,so many flavors to chose from, keep it sweet keep tasty ... keeeeep it linux ;)

Heard about the Linux from scratch project. I dream of building a district from the ground up .

I think I should give it a try.

How hard will that be 🤐🤐

Going to go on another distro jumping spree but think I'm going to install stock Ubuntu 18.04 on my actual system (Just want to see if it can change my opinion on ubuntu because last physical install i did was the release of 14.04).

Throw me your suggestions to give a gander!

(Also #IUseArch so don't worry, that has firmly been tested, broken, fixed and then fucked beyond reconcile)

Time to reinstall Windows 10 again... I want to switch over to some Linux distro but then i can't play GTA :(

You know, i think making a linux distro where it's ubuntu but "Sudo" is swapped with the word "Please" would be a good use of knowledge and time

It's worth updating Ubuntu 16.04 for 17.10 for better coding experience?

Which linux distro would you choose for a back-end development? No Ubuntu LTS. 🤔

I'm trying for two days to get a Linux distro working on my new Dell XPS. Why the hell is this not working? Sigh.

YAS!

I've convinced my brother to try the Linux. Now I have to choose for him simple to use distro. I was thinking Linux Mint, but I don't really know if I should get him Cinnamon or MATE.

I want to change my distro. Any suggestions? I'm thinking of Manjaro or mayy be popOS :)

What is your favorite linux distro and why?

Is there a Linux distribution without a lot of problems with Nvidia drivers? I'm currently using elementary os, because I like the look of it, but I'm getting a lot of graphical glitches and black screens all the time and I was wondering if changing to another distro would help. Is elementary is known for graphical glitches, or is it just the Nvidia drivers? I've also turned my display manager into a mess while trying to customise my login screen, so it might be a good time to change to another distribution. Any recommendations? And one more thing, just out of curiosity, can you install multiple distributions and use the same home directory if home is mounted on a separate partition?

So, since I messed with Elementary OS so much that it yearns for the sweet release of death and Windows 10 stopped connecting to the Internet, I now want to format them both and install Arch and Windows 8.1, respectively.

However, if my Arch installation fails (again), what distro should I install?

I am leaning towards Arch-based (I ADORE the AUR) and Debian-based distros, and have used, in this order: Linux MInt, Debian with Gnome 3 (I despise this DE), Antergos(can't get Manjaro to boot off of a USB drive) and Elementary OS (which was a thorough disappointment).

I am thinking about installing a Linux Distribution on my Pc... I can't decide between Ubuntu or Debian. Which one would you recommend for a Linux beginner or would you recommend a complete different distro? :-)

I've seen posts about Manjaro quite a lot recently. Just wondering:

How many of us are using Manjaro as daily usage system. And why not other?

For me it is because it connects ease of use of Ubuntu (or even Win) with possibilities of Arch. And I always liked KDE. Plus it works out of the box, with Nvidia drivers ready and stuff.

just receive a refurbished 4 years old laptop.... then deep clean it.... now having dilemma on picking a distro......

mainly use to run data analysis (r, Python, Java, C++, mySQL, MongoDB and some cloud servers...)

my thinking about a good distro to me, comfortable appearances, customize freedom, community support and constant security update.

any suggestion people??

What OS do you use for servers?

I'm using Debian/Ubuntu

But i have windows and a linux distro dual booted

i feel accomplished???

!rant
Need some advice
I haven't really dived into Linux much but know my way around it.
I've tried Ubuntu and fedora but like to try more. Following are the ones most appealing to me after Googling
-Debian
-Arch
-Elementary os
-Semicode os - comes with a lot of development related packages pre installed. Like a lot of them.

If anyone has tried any of them please share your experience.
I want to move to Linux the more I use Windows.

Creating a partition for Kali or new version of Ubuntu. I know a lot of devs say Ubuntu is the Windows of Linux, but I kind of like it

Whelp, Fedora has frustrated me one too many times. Anyone have suggestions for a good, stable distro with at least decent NVIDIA support?

What do you guys use to manage your Linux configuration files?

I have loads of files comming from desktops and servers. Sometimes I store it in a text file .. sometimes I make a sip of the dir. This leaves me with random configs scattered everywhere. Just looking for some best practices. I have had suggestions to use git in the past.

p.s I am not taking about passwords here.

Ok, I’ve decided. I have a really old laptop that I love but is only usable for basic surfing and text editing, so I’m gonna put a Linux distro on there to experiment.

Baby’s first Linux!

So you got new sdd and you want to try someone new slick distro. So you google slick distro and you find a blog.
You download 4 to 5 iso. Now you want to make a bootable pendrive, but you don't have pendrive. So you use your 1TB HDD. And you accidentally format the whole HDD. Now you install one by one all iso. You don't like single os you revert back to the original OS. And you have wasted your whole day.

List of distro I installed:
1) Deepin OS
2) Solus OS
3) Nitrux
4) Ubuntu 17.10
5) Pop OS (Orignal OS)

What's best linux distro for developers?

Thinking about installing a Linux distro on my home computer as the second OS. Any recommendations on which distro to use? I'm not a total beginner, I just haven't used any desktop environments for Linux yet. I'm currently having a look at Arch + Budgie - any previous experiences?
