    Isn’t the point of this meme for the low IQ and high IQ people to have the same preference? Any way, I’m on Linux Mint usually -_-

      Well, ubuntu is based on debian, so it is the same preference.

      quickly escapes the comment section

        Can confirm. I’m using Kubuntu because the Debian installer didn’t detect my hardware correctly and I couldn’t be bothered to figure out why. Aside from snaps, I don’t care.

    Well I can tell you why Linux does not have a higher adoption rate: toxic shit like this.

      Na the biggest and main reason why Linux doesn’t have a higher adoption rate (on desktop) is that it’s not preinstalled on the devices you buy.

      There are obviously other factors but they are miniscule in comparison

        Oh no, I can no longer tell if you are serious or making fun of the people who are serious.

          The best know how to tread the line perfectly. Some say that even they don’t know if they’re serious.

    I still love Debian to bits and pieces but I can’t convince me to use it as a daily driver again. And I used it as such for nearly a decade.

    My main issue is the software being dated. Yes, there are backports, and with flatpak support we can circumvent that even better but… no.

    I use Linux Mint because I like Mint Ice Cream

    I use Parrot in honour of my parrot Loba

    I use Ubuntu Mate because I’ve always wanted one

    I use Peppermint because it’s my favourite flavor of gum

    I use Rocky Linux because he’s my favourite American Hero

    I use fedora because I know it will come back in style

    No time for distrowars

    This was me, except I went straight from Ubuntu to Debian. At some point I wondered why I was doing all this manual maintenance. I realized that Ubuntu relies on Debian and so I switched. Haven’t looked back.

    I find gentoo to give a very debian like experience in alot of ways, although I suppose it does use a lot of time which is what this is on about.

    I only use gentoo on my laptop (where I never leave the tty) so it’s not as big a deal, with the largest package being gcc.

    Overall based meme.

    no time for distro wars if you’re too busy hunting down drivers and unbreaking everything :]

    (debian still best distro tho)

    Honestly what is wrong with ‘just works’. If the policies behind the project and the security and privacy is all in place using this option is nothing wrong.

    For linux to grow it needs to be more ‘just works’. Let the complex stuff and simple stuff be there. It’s not one or the other.

    Debian is for people who have shit to get done and don’t care about a neon colored wallpaper, mostly don’t have a wallpaper at all.

      It’s a lot harder to get Nvidia drivers working on Debian than any other distro I’ve tried including Arch. Every issue besides that one I’ve ever had in Debian, I was able to fix.

          I’m about to get a chance to try it on a different pc (M5A am3 with a Titan X), but on a x79 motherboard and a 1080ti, that doesn’t work. After installing that, I do get the Nvidia x server but when I open the program, it’s an empty window and something is obviously broken. I installed Arch on the same pc and it was even easier to get Nvidia drivers working than on Ubuntu.

    Quick attack users of the most popular distro before normal people start using Linux! We can’t allow a good, stable and perfectly usable distro to get popular, we need to bully everyone back to windows or terrible things might happen like the year of they Linux desktop!!
