Because none of you faggots ever zero in on which distro.
Every person I ask gives a different answer

second zero-day in a month btw

>>108653801
I have Windows 11

>>108653801
Ubuntu 26.04 LTS comes out in two days and I'm feeling pretty tempted.

>>108653814
CachyOS with KDE
Linux Mint with Xfce
flip a coin

>>108653814
It's simple, if you don't like the distro you picked, just reinstall
>waaah wah I can't reinstall!
Reinstalling on Linux is easy because program installation is automated
>>108653819
And that's why you're being hacked

>>108653801
Because I use BSD. Yes, all three.

>>108653841
no support

>>108653835
>And that's why you're being hacked
I only use it to play one game and sometimes play some generic pop music on youtube

>>108653814
arch w/dwm.

>>108653855
then where do you get your work done, on your phone? where do you post on 4chan on

>>108653871
Work? I staple wood together at work, don't need a computer. Computer work seems stressful.

Currently because I use Affinity a lot and I need to know if Wine is stable enough for it.

I would use GIMP but it's got a long way to go before reaching Photoshop and Affinity's level.

I haven't upgraded my ram in ten years, and at least Apple has a DE, linux ones all suck. I still keep a linux computer around to ssh into and use it as a seedbox/jellyfin host tho

good thing I deactivated this piece of shit a while ago for heating up my laptop

are we forgetting about all the sudo vulnerabilities?

Every piece of software has zero days, every piece of software has active CVE's, your browser has multiple of them as you read this post.
And all of them do nothing unless the user is retarded, hope this helps! :3c

Don't install Arch it's a meme. PopOS! and openSUSE are the only distros worth considering

Haven't checked issues, but that might be a good place to start.
You might also consider Krita over GIMP if you decide to go native. GIMP sucks, and Krita does enough for my uses. Depends what you need it for though, and I'm not familiar with Affinity.

>>108654831
why is it that every blithering retard i find myself into a dumb argument with, always has a anime wallpaper as the common denominator.

>>108653814
you're basically a communist sheep faggot if you can't do your own research and pick the distro that fits your needs. The Peoples Republic of Microsoft bans such free thought

>>108654831
I’ve figured out you get off on being a tech illiterate moron, because you keep posting this screenshot so that anons can insult you

>>108653814
There are like three main distros. Everything else is a useless fork that might disappear tomorrow. So just choose Fedora, Debian or Arch.

>>108654126
>I prefer non-upgradable RAM
I have never upgraded the RAM in any computer I have ever owned. The only time I've swapped hardware has been to replace graphics cards (and that's still pretty rare), otherwise I just use my computer until I feel like it's time for a new one and then I build or buy a new one.

Why are you so hung up on soldered RAM?

>>108653814
Mint if you use some old laptop and want the system to just fucking work and not need some special driver. CachyOS if you are a gaymer with a desktop and want all the wine shit to just work with one script click.

>>108654025
based. you'll never get back those 10 minutes

>>108653801
I have been for over a decade, I literally have zero reasons to use winblows

>>108653814
The reason for the disagreement is that every distro you've heard of is fine and works well. Just pick the last one you heard of or the one that sounds the most like a default to you and go with that. It will be fine.

Sadly, Debian is now run by a no coder pajeetress that wants to focus on turning the project into a corporation and importing h1b's to work on it. Suicide by democracy.

>>108653814
Mint is the most common answer outside of this retarded place because it is objectively the correct answer. Make sure to get the Cinnamon one not ugly shit Xfce or Mate.

Arch is cool and all but do not install it as your first distro. Get used to Linux with Mint (Cachy and Zorin are acceptable too or Ubuntu if you want to be a complete faggot but Mint is probably best) so after you get used to it you can start to learn what you like and how you might want things different, then you will do a custom build of Arch and soon realize it was a complete waste of time and go back to Mint.

I really gotta stress DO NOT take advice from people here. The people on this board are completely detached from reality, you should do the complete opposite of what they say more often than not.

>>108653801
It sucks and is worse than windows. Being forced to use it for some things further cements my stance on this.
Just a few things i noticed
The pc i have linux on is far faster than my laptop, BUT:
>alt tabbing has a 0.5 second delay
>clicking on any link doesnt open it but gives error and says ubuntu is ready
>camera has 2x lower framerate for the same code controlling it on linux and windows
>training of AI model is faster but not as much faster as it should be based on the difference in hardware
>no gui to set permissions or take ownership of a file so i can actually run it

>>108659469
>doesnt use ungoogled-chromium
>doesnt install using brew from the cli
ngmi

>>108659464
You're very optimistic. Look what the brown virus did to MS and Goog with trillions of dollars of skin in the game. We're being street shit back to the Victorian era under the guise of saving money and being nice to brown people.

>>108653814
I've said it before but Fedora is the closest to official Linux as you can get. I'm not a fan of it, but it's true.

This. Troonix is literally like going back to the stoneage after using macOS. It's not even a contest. The only excuse for using troonix is being a thirdie and not being able to spend your entire year's $500 salary to buy a Mac.

>>108653801
Because I don't let sensational journalism influence my decision making.

If you've had an article like this made every time there was a CVE within the Linux ecosystem, you'd have one to post every day. But that wouldn't get the rage clicks, or screencap threads, so no one bothers to.
