I'm using Gentoo/BSD as a generic overarching term for a number of projects, including Gentoo/FreeBSD and Gentoo/OpenBSD.
It's basically FreeBSD with portage instead of ports and more Gentoo-esque layout/tools, which I'm very used to.
I think I'd greatly prefer that over vanilla FreeBSD. Gentoo's CLI tools are what's keeping me with the distribution. I tried out FreeBSD a few years ago and did not like the tooling as much.

hmm good point, freebsd has its oddities and gentoo feels pretty comfy whenever I use it.
still look into openbsd. the UI is as close to "generic Unix" as possible and all the heavy security modifications are basically enduser-irrelevant
if time travellers installed openbsd at some college terminal in the 70s I doubt people would have much trouble with it

A friend in high school gave me a Ubuntu 7.04 disc and told me to try it because "It's free and it works." No joke. I tried it out and it was alright, but I couldn't play my games. I tried again with Ubuntu 10.10, but still couldn't play my games. So now I'm on Ubuntu 14.10 after trying eOS and Debian, with around half my Steam games being playable. I still use Windows 7 for my desktop though.

Nope, I distrohopped (debian/opensuse/ubuntu/fedora/slackware/gentoo and some of their derivatives) enough. I also tried lots of DEs/WMs and there is nothing as comfy as xfce, but maybe in two years or something I might switch to a DE that supports wayland.

Once I get a reliable windows machine, probably. Have been playing around with different DE/WMs already. i3 just fits my style, but haven't seen everything yet.

I've hear arch is difficult to learn but worth it.
I've never tried it.
>>45772158
yes, I like Unity for kind of a fallback it has all the graphical tools a person could want otherwise and "just werks" OOB. i3 is fast, light and fun to work with but fixes sometime are a mess and I don't always have time to mess with config files.
I really just have to ask what I'm turning on my computer for and that will determine which I use.

Might go back to some ultra-light minimum Debian install w/Fluxbox I had on my netbook at one point some day, though I might use Ubuntu Server instead because of more Packages. Might try out CentOS or Fedora, just to get some experience with RedHat-based distros.
Really only using Mint right now because I was too lazy to mess with a minimal Debian install on this laptop. I will say Cinnamon is quite nice though.

Manjaro, but the bastard won't let me dual boot side by side to Windows. It requires a clean install and convert all NTFS to ext4 partitions.

Winfag here, unity is not that bad if you can overcome the glitches and having 2 separate task bars glued in permanently. Ubuntu is quite slick and most compatible with Wine to run Windows software, even more so than Mint.
I have been able to play most of my games on reasonable graphic quality.

I know that feel. I lost all my data when I first tried to install Ubuntu 12.04. During partitioning, I clicked my NTFS main by mistake, boot up, everything is gone.
The format was so good, no disk recovery software could recover my files. Based Ubuntu, who needs disk wiping, when you have the best utility to wipe hard drives clean.

Initially curiosity on an x60 I got for pennies, now using it as my main machine. Hoping to switch to Linux full time but it frankly lacks in the multichannel sound department with poor firewire card support which is keeping me bound to some degree to my 2012 MBP
>Intention to switch distro or de/wm in the foreseeable feature? If yes, to what?
I'm hoping to set up Arch at some point. Very happy with i3 as a WM though, powerful, simple, sleek, fast.
