Alt text: A line plot with 2 axis (confidence vs competence) referencing the Dunning-Kruger effect with various distro logos placed at different points on the line. Starts with mint/ubuntu near (0,0) and progressing through multiple distros to end up with opensuse/fedora at what it calls “the plateau of sustainability”
Yes, I fall everywhere on the knowledge spectrum. It just depends on which niche area I’m fixating on that day.
Went from Ubuntu, Mint, Manjaro, Garuda, Kubuntu, Bazzite, now CachyOS. Cachy has been wonderful for all my needs
Full circle, back to Mint
Plateau of Sustainability.
Started on Storm Linux, went to Slackware, and then Ubuntu. Did my time in the Arch Valley of Despair, along with a little Manjaro. Even tried Debian for a bit. Went openSUSE for a few years and then moved to Fedora last year and stuck there since.
I still use Kubuntu, btw.
Linux mint for less than a month. Cut me some slack!
Manjaro with no desktop environment, only sway
I’m gonna put this out there: If you can do Endeavour or Manjaro, you can do Arch, and Arch is in no way less stable than Tumbleweed. All you need to do is to pick btrfs and enable snapshots and then never use them.
I started out with Slackware, then Mandrake, then I went to Suse, then to Ubuntu, to Arch and then I sadly had to go back to Windows for work. But I have a SteamOS device for myself.
Mandrake > Suse > Debian > Gentoo > Arch (since 2008).
Next machine will probably be debian, if any. Might stay with the work macbook.
Nice corporate ad…
I would rather “despair” with a community based distro than using capitalistware were that graph true, however my Arch machine works perfectly fine and have no need to do so. On the other hand corporate distros…
I’m in the PopOs stage!
Debian, since etch. Also, not corpo owned since birth.
I know nothing, and I’m keeping it that way
My system of choice is Mint, btw
My arch only breaks when I (unknowingly) tell it to.
