ubuntu because my brain is so small
the name comes from the Bantu word “ubuntu” which loosely translated means, “debian is too hard”
Manjaro.
Throws the table
Why? I really enjoyed Mankato while slowly breaking it (Arch is just not for people like me)
Both.
Debian for anything that has to run unattended for a long time without requiring much care. Arch for the desktop.
Ubuntu Server LTS on my first-ever server. I’mma green rook at this. I’m amazed at how quickly and easily Casa was to get up and running on an old laptop.
I still got a long ways to go before I can try Debian for a server.
Debian is just Ubuntu without all the annoying parts.
“Debian or Arch?”
Get out you corporate sellout!
It’s the best of both worlds
spoiler
RPMs are better than DEBs
I’m fine with .ebuild and .xbps, thnx.
Yeah I get some good RPMs on my 2001 Honda Civic.
openSUSE.
Reverse UNO
NixOS* but yes
She best answer Kinonite. Easy effort, and it’s as fresh as we need. Leaving plenty of time to make sweet, sweet love. (cue Barry White soundtrack)
This hurts because Debian is named after a couple (Debra Lynn and Ian Murdock) who got married and divorced and Ian passed away. Going with Debian is a lifetime of hurt.
On the other hand Arch girls are described in Rick James’s song “Superfreak”.
and yet… their names are immortalized… it wouldnt surprise me if debian is still around in 50 years
Arch. I’m still having nightmares from trying to install up to date versions of user-space software onto Debian in 2008-ish, usually leading to having to compile it from source, usually leading to having many compiler errors due to make and GCC being quite a few versions behind. All the help I got in those days through forums are links to WinXP ISO torrents, and telling me that to stop ruining their “hobby OS”.
Both. desktop is arch based, server is Debian.
You slut, you!
That’s all it takes to be a distro slut!?
What the heck am I then?

I suggest a regimen of cold showers and coarse towels.
But like with glasses or something.
What the heck am I then?
A container slut.
What the heck am I then?
A container slut.
???
But… there are zero containers on any of my systems.
Actually, looking at that list again, I see I’ve neglected upgrading on that computer for longer than I realised… chimaera as testing? *checks site*, yeah that’s “Chimaera 4.0 has moved to oldoldstable status.”. That’s like 4 versions old. XD
Are you waiting for an invitation?
Oooh yeah, baby, let’s debug the networking stack together!
Don’t be silly,
chmod o-wyour$WILLY!Phew! For a split second I misred that as
chmod o+w.
Yep. “Depends on the use case” is a solid answer.
🥵 yeah talk dirty to me.
My iptables INPUT chain default policy is set to ACCEPT.
I run apt upgrade before apt update.
This is the way! Everything is based on Arch, Debian or Fedora anyway so you might as well stick to what is well known and supported.
angry Gentoo and NixOS noises
How is Nix with software support these days?
There is another reply to this comment where I said I’m not using it. If you are interested in something specific why not just go type the package name into their repository search thingy?
well known and supported 🤪
From my understanding NixOS and Gentoo is “support it yourself”. I haven’t tried either of them so I could be completely wrong about that.
It’s pretty much the same thing as everywhere, you have a bunch of lovely people who package and test things, nothing too weird. What you are describing is LFS.
I was under the impression that you had to compile everything yourself on Gentoo and in Nix that you have to mess with a config to do everything and anything.
Maybe I should try them both to see what the fuzz is about.
Speaking about Gentoo, you don’t “have to” compile everything, but let’s just say it’s strongly encouraged. Most of the compilation is automated though, think AUR on steroids. If you don’t want to touch anything, you can go with defaults for all the software and you’ll get basically what you get on any other distro.
The thing is, though, if you are not being a little funny with your software, why the hell are you running Gentoo? So, it’s entirely optional, but it’s the main reason one would use Gentoo, otherwise you get a stock standard system with stupidly long updates.
I can’t speak for Nix, though, I haven’t touched it myself, but from what I know from those around me running it, it’s pretty much the same thing, unless you want something cool, you don’t have to suffer.
Okey thank you so much for the information! I can see the appeal. More freedom and customization. I am all for it.
But for my use cases I think Arch is enough. It strikes a nice balance with official packages and the AUR and I love that you get to choose all of the packages you want to have installed.
Slackware users in shambles!
uss babe uss
Me: “Numbers or mechanics?”
Is this like asking if looking for a fling or a long term relationship?
Hence why so many of us are gay for each other.
I thought it was because we’re all femboys and trans catgirls.
Nah I’m just a boring old homo
I’m all for touching as long as we don’t sudo
fuck. um, what if i sudo while you rm rf
My wife uses Debian, but I love her anyway. ❤️
Debian in the kitchen and Arch in the bedroom
Debian in the kitchen
You only buy pre-made food?
That’s where Gentoo belongs, or LFS if you don’t like following recipes.I buy ingredients, not seeds and animals.
Only buy traditional food with a best before date at least 3 years in the future.
In bedroom a new bed every other day with a lot of bed bugs.
don’t kink share
