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”
Almost there. I’m on AlmaLinux Atomic Desktop GNOME. It’s freaking sweet. The main thing that kept me from an ultra-stable distro for the longest time was the lack of user packages, but now with Flatpak and Brew, it’s pretty nice. No more distro-hopping for me.
I went from Tumbleweed to Garuda to Endeavour to plain Arch, so either your graph is off or me. Or both.
listen, i just want to play my games on my computer. i have limited knowledge of linux, i just host ragnarok online servers on my ubuntu mini computer, which was not a big ask in complexity. i don’t want to be a hacker, i just want to play delta force with my friend, and escape the windows ecosystem, so why all the hate?
Guess I’m still waiting for something traumatic to get me back to kubuntu then xD
I don’t really care about others but please avoid Manjaro they had some shady finances and apparently don’t manage their certs correctly
Fedora Silverblue. My version of “mount stupid” (or “valley of despair”) probably.
I’m at the 2nd Fedora stage but I feel like I skipped too many steps to get there.
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.
Definitly a minty
But with asperations of a suse
Rolling releases for life.
Yeah, they somehow added peak stability in rolling releases, what a golden age of not having to do the chores of an upgrade!
Anybody who calls Linux “GNU/Linux” is rightfully at the bottom of both axes
If you replace the Manjaro icons with POP OS icons that’s where I am at in the middle just after the valley - also running dual booting along with EOS.
I am though at the point of my distro hopping that I want to try out vanilla Debian.
My initial POP install from almost 3 years ago I still the samme on my Lenovo P51 laptop. Pretty happy about it.
One thing is clear. I love Linux and will never go back, coming from 14 years of MacOS, and windows before that.
Started at low for 6 months , then I travelled to the valley of despair.
I lost my mind and stayed there for a long time. 1 year? 3 years? who are you? who am i? (send help plz)
A traveller names Fedora rescued me. Now I am further down on that curve: Fedora silverblue.
My arch only breaks when I (unknowingly) tell it to.
Why in the world is Fedora peak enlightenment. Any well run, simple, community run distro is peak enlightenment.
