Can confirm.
I miss Antergos. I know Arch is still there. I know Manjaro exists. I miss Antergos.
I made this mistake once and every comment was a different distro, they were all upvoted, and everyone was saying good things about all of them.
I just went with Ubuntu.
It's the canonical choice
Linux is like dogs, theyβre all good bois.
That's okay, chances are half the different distros people were talking up were Ubuntu.
The one you fucking feel like using. God, stop trying to make tribes mandatory.
Never heard of it. What packaging system does Tribes use?
Well, it's built to use Ooga, but it's also set up to be able to handle Booga as well. It depends on the driver set you need to load Fire and Club.

Excuse me sir or madam, do you have time to talk about our lord and savior NixOS?
no one likes a smart guy. you can keep your dot files /s
There are no dotfiles! There is only the Config!
TBH I would switch to Nix, from my current long standing arch, but it wouldnβt make any difference to me ultimately. Cool concept though, but I donβt really care much about these immutable distros.
I have to say the immutability isn't what got me. It's that i can propagate changes to all my machines (i have three, with different configurations of work and private users) without fuss. i have one git repo that contains the Config and all i do is git pull && sudo nixos-rebuild switch after i login and it's done. reinstalling is also somewhat trivial and once the installer is done everything is as i want it to be. which is just bonkers to me. i love it to bits. before i had a super brittle system of dotfiles that regularly broke. nevermore
That does make sense for such use cases, however I feel that archinstall script is also mature enough, allowing you to have config files even. Even w/o them it still has very powerful defaults. I will def give nixos a try in a VM first, as I mostly rely on flatpak and landlock anyways.

Random PSA: set your bios to sleep state linux.
I had no idea this was a thing. Thank you!
There is a slight difference there. You don't ask the first two because social norms have pressured those groups to focus on those elements to unhealthy levels, so asking is, on a certain level, disrupting the peace of the other person by touching a sensitive area. The third is not. The third is poking your own peace because whether they have an extreme loyalty to one or a nuanced understanding of why different ones are better suited to different use cases, you are about to be talked at for an hour about it.
My favourite Linux is the kernel
Colonel who?
Colonel Linux and his army of daemons!
Don't forget Biebian
use a big hammer
Secureblue.
That's easy, it's Debian
You either use Debian, or Debian With Extra Steps, so I went with Debian
Yeah why would someone ask a question when the answer is so obvious?
Pretty much any distro can do any of the things Windows/Mac users are hoping a computer can do. So just pick one and stick with it. Once you're familiar with Linux, the benefits/drawbacks of each distro will become clearer, and you'll be able to make an informed decision. People will tell you "Arch is more lightweight than Mint" but compared to Windows/MacOS, all Linux distros are going to feel blazingly fast and lightweight. The only decent advice is, if you are just starting out and you have an Nvidia GPU, use a distro that sets that up for you automatically. It's not super complicated to set up, but it's definitely going to feel like a foreign experience the first time.

Never ask a woman her age.
A man the length of his penis.
And Someone who posts memes like this how long they had to dig to get to this ancient stereotype.
