Arch linux is the gateway drug that leads to NixOS

I swear that when I was a student, my department had a good mix of distros.

• Most students were on Ubuntu and Mint VMs.
• Students in system or HPC labs had to learn CentOS. However, my entry condition to my lab was to install FreeBSD as a guest on VMWare ESXi. Everything must be specifically partitioned and must be done in one sitting. (This happened illegally in the server room. I could not exit and hope to reenter, hence the rule.)
• Enthusiasts learn Debian.
• I don't know what happened to SlackWare people.

Kids these days? WSL or Mac.

Except openSUSE. Fuck that, it breaks with the smallest thing and is just odd. But this was like 5y ago on Tumbleweed, so maybe it’s changed.

Am I the only one around here that uses MX Linux?

Eventually, they'll start criticising your choice of DE or text editor.

Let me get you convinced that you should install it then use whatever the fuck you want. It's all the same.

More like unicorn

Open Suse Tumbleweed is the way to go. Fight me.

I use ArseLinux btw

That's pretty much me. I've introduced a few of my friends to Linux. I recommend Ubuntu because it generally has the most documentation, support, largest userbase, etc but they are of course free to pick whatever distro they want. I use Ubuntu LTS myself, it works well enough. In terms of software, I like static linked builds and AppImages since they work on pretty much any distro.

ZipSlack FTW
