WHO CARES?

Missed oppurtunity: Rhel distro when corporate owns your soul, your routine is 9-5, you like the smell of a cubicle, but like a living wage doing Linux stuff all day :D

Exactly. I've been using Linux since the early 90s, sometimes as sysadmin, mostly as a programmer, and I honestly can't remember how many distributions I've used since then (anyone remember Yggdrasil?). In my old age I have way less bandwidth and just want to write my Rust code. And sometimes run games through Steam and have everything work. And run a Plex server on spare 12yo Thinkpad.

Amen

Real i just use Mint cuz im used to it and just install kde or gnome on top

Yeah, i think it's a problem because Mint has the reputation of a "noob distro"

It is easier than Ubuntu, but it's a good opposite-of-microsoft experience where the OS doesn't get in the way and try to be all things cloudy and fancy.

There is so much to unpack there.. 🥵

As a person of grandpa age I swipe those attacks away like a mosquito.

his whole channels forms around /g/ knowledge, of course he knows :^)

@@aws-china I will always remember bigboxSWE as the perfect example of what happens when you fall for every single /g/ meme at once, without carefully analyzing them first. He owns four ThinkPads at least. While I see nothing wrong with them in themselves, as they are admittedly pretty good value for the price, four is just mindless consumerism, contradictory to his "philosophy". He started using every single shitty pseudominimalist, ncurses-based program, used a shitty riced out i3 setup of dubious actual productivity (like all tiling wms), then fell for the full Suckless meme and went in even deeper. Then he started making videos shitting on Python and praising C, which is ironic considering he is not even a programmer by his own admission. He effectively spent years trying out, configuring and hopelessly trying to integrate tens of meme programs to build what is, combined, effectively a shittier Emacs, just like most of /g/ was doing in their "productive" desktop threads a year or two ago. Then he read the Unabomber manifesto and blindly accepted it without constructively analyzing it first, same with the anarcho-primitivist ideology that was all the rage about a year and a half on 4chan and 8ch. While he stated on his website that he "didn't browse 4chan much anymore" it was obvious this wasn't the case. Then he went and took the memes way too far, and unironically went to live in isolation. While I see nothing wrong in itself, the actual reason he did it is massive cringe. He has the mentality of someone 10 years younger than he is, yet he acts like a literal boomer jokingly criticizing "zoomers" despite he himself being the worst example of a millennial. He attacks "nerds" when it't painfully obvious he's deeply unhappy with himself, as it was obviously self-directed criticism thinly veiled as an edgy dabbing video. He is a perfect example of someone you should avoid becoming at all costs.

why did you abandon opensuse?

​@@StraungeYTi think the video is about clients, not servers. which software do you want else on servers? (now that the obvious CentOS is missing)

Same. Tried almost everything under the sun. Pop just hit all the right spots with the least amount of effort for me. The only complaint I have is the window tiling is a little bit wonky sometimes. Looking forward to Cosmic.

@@starmechlx Yes the window tiling is bad and the "PopShop" is garbage. I'm excited for Cosmic to improve upon these things. I have extremely high hopes for Cosmic. The demos Ive seem are very promising.

That's what I used to say, but I don't believe it anymore. The distro I daily drive is not the one I'd recommend to a friend, and the distro I run on my servers is not the same that runs in production. What you might mean is that differences between distros aren't meaningful enough for desktop use, and I agree with that. When you have various use cases, the differences matter.

@@akkesm Yeah if were talking servers and business use-case its obviously a different story. I was just talking about the home Desktop.

I think arch has gotten to the point of being easy to setup because of distros like EndeavourOS which simplify arch a lot without ruining some of its best features like how Manjaro makes using the aur more risky than it already is. Or maybe I'm just biased since I've used arch based distros for a while and can get a satisfactory system running with just an EndeavourOS install.

Booo, you are not using Arch, why would you update during a comment it's not like windows that you have to do it.

I don't think people understand the typical Linux Mint user. Is Linux Mint for Grandma? Yes! It's also for millennials who remember how freaking clean Windows XP was and just want to use our computer like we did before Microsoft started adding all these junk features that keep getting in our way. The Linux Mint team understands this, and frankly I think they make the best general purpose Linux Distro out there because they are targeting end users who don't really care how swish their Linux set up is with pointless features to make you look like Neo from the matrix, they just wanna use their programs, like in my case Blender, Gimp, Godot, Codeblocks, etc... where I get actual work done.

You also didn't get that this video is a joke. As an Arch user I'm far from a furry and hate anime, but at least I'm able to laugh about this.

And as a gentoo user I... nvm

I think people who use mint is the same people who would use debian but with slightly less setup for packaging and stuffs.

Same. I think mint gets that stereotype because there's always a bunch of people talking about how their elderly parents or grandparents complain about their old Windows 7 or earlier computers being slow and full of malware and asking their techy Linux-loving (grand)son/daughter to fix their computer, to which said (grand)son/daughter sets them up with Linux Mint since the only things they really use the computer for are emails and facebook and it looks enough like Windows that they probably wont be able to tell the difference.

Beginner programmers write simple code because they don't know any better. Intermediate programmers write fancy code because they're not beginners anymore. Expert programmers write simple code that a beginner would write, because they know fancy code is harder to maintain and debug 😆

Same here sister, been using Mint for more than half a decade and I'm the furthest from a conservative old fart. Not sure where he got that stereotype from, never heard of it. Just chalk it up to a dumb joke I suppose.

I'm a Mint user and the Arch description fits me more lol. I just like having a desktop OS I can set up with no bullshit.

10 years? What a rook! I had 10 years of Linux experience in 2005. Mint is just butchered Debian.

Is bazzite better than Nobara for gaming?

​​@@youtube.user.1234gaming in every distro is pretty much the same. Don't listen to those, *choose this distro for gaming blogs*. There are tools that can be ran on pretty much every linux distro that allows for a pretty smooth gaming experience, like Lutris (Wine) and Steam (with Proton). I feel like the only real difference might happen when you have integrated graphics and nvidia dedicated graphics. Nvidia has always been a mess on Linux, i have experienced a lot of issues myself. There are some systems like Fedora in which it is hard to setup things like dynamic kernel modules to manage running both your cpu and gpu graphics. If i am honest, I started gaming on Linux years ago with PopOS, pretty stable, looks nice, and you go the ubuntu/debian package manager. You should use a distro like that. Nowadays I just play in Arch, it's pretty stable, but Arch is still a bit complicated for new people.

@@Skelterbane69 Just get the fishnets and get it over with.

sounds like you have adhd

I have the same experience. I can’t say I’ve not been in other types of rabbit holes like nvim, tmux, Zellij, etc. But unless you’re self employed (and building your own thing with your own machine exclusively), most companies I’ve come across just use Mac. For better or worse. It’s a lot of effort to sync configs and package lists across Mac and Linux. One less rabbit hole 🙏

good to have debian experience when I need to hop on vms and whatnot, but I highly agree with this take. Mac is just clean af

That's... never been my OSX or macOS experience-as a software developer, my process for setting up a new, fresh macbook involves: 1. Queuing up the 1hr download and install of XCode 2. Configuring SSH and DNS settings to not require ".local" for on-network name resolution 3. Installing brew and miniconda 4. Using one of the above to install non-deprecated versions of Python, git, rsync, vim, tmux and bash (the last I admit is a "me" problem for refusing to learn zsh) 5. Making sure Rosetta2 is properly configured 6. Installing a graphical plaintext editor that actually has syntax highlighting 7. Installing a usable IDE 8. Configuring said IDE for remote development into my Linux box or ec2 (obviously this is hyperbolic, and YMMV, but unless you're developing exclusively for mac, macOS hasn't been good for anything beyond thin client work for years)

@@GSBarlev Xcode is the only bad part I can agree. But after I started using xcodes (Xcode version manager ) it got less painful. The rest is me fetching my dotfiles together with that brewfile that save all my installed packages, $brew bundle install and everything is in place.

...debian? like ubuntu is trash for servers, server is bloated too, also you can't escape snaps.

Alpine Linux in Podman/Docker containers and don't use :latest images and distro does not matter. However I would prefer not try my luck with HW accelerated video playback or wayland on a server. With containers, system inside is basically immutable and your packages do not matter.

@@progCansure, but you can get paid support from canonical. I personally prefer RHEL since I’m more comfortable with that though.

Ubuntu on servers with snaps makes things a lot easier and it's pretty stable honestly

@@progCan Most Ubuntu users like snaps or are indifferent as long as they work. I'm using them for Firefox, Thunderbird, VS Code, Netbeans, IntelliJ, Chromium, Powershell, Krita, Upscayl, OnlyOffice and more. And Ubuntu Core, a snap only embedded OS has been a thing since 2016. Not saying snaps don't have some problems, but a lot has been fixed to the point where it doesn't matter for the average user. Perhaps you should spend less time on reddit echochambers.

Bro spending 5 hours a day compiling

@@americanbagel Not really. Even though I do have a decently old laptop (7 and a half years old), most things take several minutes at best. The only exceptions are: - Chromium - takes about 10 hours when I do nothing with the laptop, more if I do something on the laptop (which I can still do, like watching YT, or play some indie games. Haven't tried doing something more heavy, it should still work, but it would most likely be a bad experience) - Firefox - takes 1.5 - 2 hours since I use clang. Was about 2-3 hours with gcc the first time it was with that, if I remember correctly - nodejs (sometimes a prereq for Firefox. Why, I cannot tell) - also 1.5 - 2 hours. Fortunately it's quite rare, like I think I've done it 3 or 4 times in the 6 months since I have this system. Compiling the Linux kernel takes about 45 minutes if it's new. If I compiled it already then I only change a bit, the recompile might take only a couple of minutes. Yeah, so I only have a bit of stress when I have to compile Chromium. The CPU I have is i7-6700HQ. I can't wait to have a new modern 6 or 8 core CPU, but I'm very very picky and the next perfect laptop for me, that should also last me 7, preferably 10 years, doesn't exist yet :(. Hopefully I'll be lucky with Framework 16 with Arrow Lake next year.

@@americanbagel WTH, somehow my previous answer was deleted ? Anyway, I just compiled Firefox 126.0.1 and this time it took exactly 10 minutes for the 4 dependencies and exactly, very very exactly 1 hour aka 60 minutes for the firefox itself. This is the fastest I remember it being done, usually it's more 1.5 to maybe 2 hours. I'm too lazy to repeat my previous comment, the short gist of it was that most things only take several minutes and the only one that's a bit stressful, usually every 3 weeks or so, is Chromium witch takes 10 hours when I'm doing nothing else and even more if I do other stuff (like YT or light gaming). All others are up to 2 hours.
