That's something people would say that never tried Hanna Montanna Linux. /s

Linux users hating on systemd, wayland, emacs, bash, etc. is part of the culture.

The hate some have for Ubuntu and Omarchy is ridiculous. These are some of the best user experience focused distros out there.

Meanwhile Fedora‘s (Red Hat) dominance is never even questioned.

Also you should use OpenSuse, it’s the best distro out there.

Huh? Pretty sure it's constantly questioned, especially by those who reject systemd. Sometimes that isn't hate, but well-reasoned (but occasionally badly worded) rejection.

The hate some have for Ubuntu and Omarchy is ridiculous.

Wasn't Omarchy made by a fash, TERF or some other kind of extremist? Harmony is great and all, but like with tolerance it can't be absolute.

Ubuntu gets their well-deserved amount of criticism in my eyes since they still haven't published the damn Snap server source code (afaik). A distro that had such great ideas in the past like including Amazon ads inside the desktop or silently symlinking apt commands to snap have to do a better job to regain community trust, instead they reject efforts like Flatpak or AppImage and build partial closed-source.

I like harmony too, but please don't attempt to deligitimise well-reasoned criticism.

I mean from what I know about it Omarchy and its creator is pretty shit

I agree though that openSUSE is great. I haven't used Fedora yet, but I also haven't heard people complain about it either

I'm against it lol.

I think anyone that doesn't realise there is not "best" in distros is either stuck in the consumer mindset or is so narcissistic they think everything they do is the best without ever considering that perhaps few people are actually like them.

Truth is, there's a distro for everyone. It's super easy to test drive and hop. We're spoiled for choice. If someone wants to contest someone else's choice, they're an idiot and can go back to closed source where over-researching and min-maxing is a requirement to get what you want, not a choice.

I'm confused on why you think ubuntu and omarchy can't also be part of that "culture" you describe. It's also a bit different for omarchy. Part of it is that it's just another arch flavor that isn't all that special, but everyone started talking about it all of a sudden, which made people grow tired of hearing about it pretty quickly (kinda reminds me of what happened to ghostty tbh). The other part of it is its creator being a conspiracy weirdo, which puts people off.

Spoken like someone who doesn't understand the fighting is PART of the joy.

Don't forget outright selling user data to amazon, the fact that each snap slows down boot times, or the various claims that they're illegally harvesting user data through Azure Ubuntu images to send promotional material.

The only community they care about are the micro soft execs...

OpenSuse Slowroll is really one of the most interesting choices imo. Rolling release with Yast to configure everything via GUI really hits the spot.

It's not bad at all. Fedora Workstation has sane defaults. I've been enjoying Server Edition for years to monitor quadlets.

Thanks for this image! I’d never seen white Terry Crews before.

Imagine defending fashtech

I have some weirdly backed in "opinions"

But they've been mixed in with facts. So it's getting hard to tell when I'm being obnoxious or correct

How DARE you I'll kick your ass if you ever besmirch Gobo Linux again!

Arch and Debian users aren’t enemies. In fact they are kissing sloppy style squishing boobs together etc

Real

Despite being a pretty ardent Linux user for a lot of years, I've never heard of "Omarchy." I just looked it up; without clicking the resultant link, I already saw it describe itself as "beautiful, modern & opinionated."

I don't think I'll be using it. Or clicking the link.

Awww but I can't do that. I don't have boobs.

I feel so left out.

Let it out.

I just found out that there is a Linux distro called Gobo Linux lol.

Lmao.

brb. Switching distros.

Gobo?

I have no problem with freedom of choice. It's just that your choices are wrong.

Pretty sure that's Kurt Angle

This but gentoo, is US.

Nix is watching from the corner, masturbating.

You can grow some...

I recently moved from Mint to Fedora, as a long time Mint enjoyer. It's been phenomenal.

I like every UI that has a menu bar...

I use emacs, btw.

This is for every hobby or fandom. Looking at you audiophiles

It is indeed! It's true! It's true!

Intensity.
Integrity.

Some things can't be improved upon. Sorry you chose wrong.

Real.

Me, a Kubuntu konvert trying to figure out what side I'm on.

I see what you did there. You're on Penguin's side.

I now h8 everyone who isn't a penguin.

That is the objectively correct choice. I wonder if we will get an update for the 20th anniversary of Hanna Montanna.

Understandable

If it's created by DHH, I'm pretty sure the "opinionated" you're missing on is insane racism, the "beautiful" is white non-immigrants and the "modern" is the old "brown people are bad" claim in a fresh coat of "brown people are trying to displace white people" presentation.

I'm not that fat

Yeah baby, wakka wakka my apt, pacman, I didn't even read the news file, I like to live dangerously!

Indeed my love
