>>51669906
I cringe at the thought of the person who made that graph.
>>51669906
That chart is ridiculously inaccurate, and several of the fields don't even make sense.
I use Arch because it just werks
>>51669906
that chart is dumb, there's no way to accurately measure any of those
>customizability
wtf
I only use Debian when using Linux
For my servers
>>51669906
>Arch almost lowest docs
Wait. What? Doesn't pretty much everyone here agree the Arch wiki is one of the best docs available?
Also. Same with packages.
And why the fuck does Mint have so low installation?
And why the fuck dues "Ubuntu -Please steal our users info Amazon" get a free pass on security?

Debian and fedora actually and i couldn't care less about what you use. That graph had to have been made by the spergiest of faggots imaginable though. FFS security is the same on each one, and linux mint apparently has no community.
>>51670005
I use ubuntu, actually. You can tell by my tripcode
>>51670005
>Arch is source based
What the fuck are you talking about? Arch is pretty widely excepted as the best binary based distro. Whoever wrote this comic is an idiot.
>>51669906
>Convince me to install your distro.
Do whatever you want, nigger, I don't want you using my distro, you nignog fuck face.

>>51669906
Why is Debian considered the most customizable on this chart?
>>51669906
There is literally nothing wrong with Debian.
Don't act like outdated software and systemd actually affects anything you do.
If it really matters that much to you, install init and add another repository.
>>51669906

>keeps mistaking arch wiki with documentation
Take a look at that lonely directory that is /usr/share/doc in Arch.
>treats the huge pile of untested software as reliable software source
You deserve everything that happens to your system
>Arch
Much better documentation than it's given credit for in that graph
Pacman is by far the best package manager I've ever seen
The glorious AUR
Good community outside of /g/
Bleeding edge, but still stable if you know what you're doing
Customizability
Minimal
The Usual
>Debian
Graphical install
Minimal compared to Ubuntu
Fantastic support
Stable as fuck
Take your pick. I don't really seen any reason to use anything else.
>>51669906
arch low in community and package? is this a joke?
>>51670290
Thanks for that. You really enriched my life with new information. I wish I was notified every time you made a post.
I miss CrunchBang #!
Pacman, gud repos, fast and ez updates, setup to however you want it
installing it is gr8 too since you get a ton of options, personally I've really fallen for systemd boot on UEFI instead of GRUB or syslinux
>>51671524
>wget -mk wiki.archlinux.org
There, was that so hard?
Also
>/usr/share/doc
>What are fucking manpages
>What is THE standard documentation format for *nix
Literally no one uses /usr/share/doc
>>51673379
#! was cool, but #!++ and that other branchoff are reminders of why it was never super popular: It's just Debian with some fancy scripts preconfigured.
On the other hand, why A! never took off is beyond me.
>>51669906
If I told you, you'd have heard about the the next time you ask this inane question and I would lose the hipster cred I have worked so hard to build.
>>51670323
it's making fun of the hyper-elitism that plagues the arch linux community. Heres another one.
>>51669906
That is probably one of the worst, most arbitrary, and subjective graph that I seen in a long time.

I love these. Any more?
I used arch for a little while when I first started with linux, possibly a big mistake, but I will admit I learned a lot from using it. From a purely consumer standpoint, I wouldn't recommend it - there's lots of room to fuck shit up.
Um, I don't know if there's anything as far as "convincing" for any particular distro, they all have strengths and weaknesses out of the box that you'll need to deal with in order to get a solid, working machine.
Mint and OpenSUSE have been my go-to's since Arch and I currently have Mint installed.
My only suggestion for potential linux users is to try out as many Distros as possible and see what works for you, there's no point in basing which you choose off of other's needs/expectations. Just get a feel for each one and look into what it can do as far as resources/limitations go and you're golden.
>convince me to choose freedom
It goes against the point of installing gentoo
>inb4 gentoo not free
>inb4 nice meme
>>51669906
I really like Mint
Is Ubuntu better in any way? So far my experience with Mint has been great.
>>51669906
>Convince me to install your distro.
No.
>>51675916
im too lazy to do this but someone needs to take that picture and change the title to "op" and make all the edges "ability to suck cock" "gayness" and "lack of a social life"
>>51669906
no fuck off
What's with all this inaccurate Arch hate? You barely compile anything on Arch, only if you use the AUR, and pacman stopped clobbering config files years (decades?) ago.
>>51669906
>security is at max for every distro
this is what linuxfags actually believe
>>51675953
I witnessed pacman clobber a config file yesterday
Didn't even try to make a .pacnew, just clobbered straight over a heavily customized config file
>>51676054

You're probably using an AUR package, which is not supported. Your fault for not reading the PKGBUILD.
>>51676190
>You're probably using an AUR package
I'm not, but nice stupid assumption
>>51676220
Then report the bug and stop whining.
>>51675956

Arch users
>>51676314
Please enlighten me about the OS you are using which does not have a single bug.
>>51669906
Whoever made this is retarded.
but shiiit is was 99$
Took me less than an hour to install Arch Linux. Never had a problem with X or i3 or pacman.
I guess one might say it just werks. I wouldn't agree though. Your Arch experience is only as good as you set it up to be. People who complain about it sucking either are completely going off what they've heard or haven't taken the time to enjoy the distro. No one I have ever known has complained about USING Arch Linux, and even setup isn't too bad. Once.again: It's all about the effort you put in.
tldr; the only people who hate Arch are the people who haven't put in the effort to use Arch.
>>51676054
Then just restore it from your latest backup, dumbass.

Sorry, gentoo has arch beat in every way. Debian is pretty amazing, but still comes in as number two after gentoo. Also, fuck Ubuntu.
Trolling and memes aside, that pic is at least 6 years old and needs to stop being posted. I see it every couple of weeks and it only seems to attract only people who haven't seen it and get angry. Even if it were true, it's simply long outdated.
Who made this picture? do they know how much pain it has caused the internet?
need to basically have a vote at this point and make a new one based on polls or whatever so it isn't posted anymore. not a single person ever agrees with even one part of it ever, it just sparks anger every time
>>51669906
Once you git gud you realise almost all distros are basically the same, it just comes down to what you personally find to be most convenient.
>>51670349
Oh how obscure and contrarian you must be. I am in awe. Just curios what distro do you use? Check its placement on Distrowatch. If it's in top 200 you need to up your special snowflake game.
>>51677243
true contrarian hipster cape bearers only exist on linux for a mere week before pretending to use the various irrelevant 80s garbage you see being edgily and ironically psuedo recommended on here in the hopes that you actually don't use it

Like how the fuck do you measure "Package" and "Performance"(DE specific?)?

this image is obviously made of random data. please don't use it.
and openSUSE's name is not OpenSUSE.
thanks.

i am using arch almost for a year now. it is my first linux and serves me well.
what are "broken X" meme, is that a thing or ghost of a past?
>>51669906
install gentoo
>>51678141
>>51677610
>>51669906
Why is the installation category so low on Mint? Mint is easy as fuck to install.
>>51676715
I agree completely.
The only things I've had problems with are things I can admit to not having any kind of understanding about them. (like CUPS)
Most everything is a Wiki link here and there and that's it
>>51669906
Why does Debian score higher on performance than Arch?
And also, why isn't Gentoo on there?
>>51681684
Top JeJ
>>51669906
Windows 10 would have maxed all those stats.
I will not convince you to install my distro. It's fucking annoying seeing these threads on /g/ everyday. If you want to stay with Windows and feel like it's more comfortable for you then use it. If you want to use Linux and feel like it's more comfortable for you then use that. I don't get why people want to force other people to try Linux. Argue with me if you want, but it's pointless.
>>51686304
Yeah but convince me to install your distro.
>>51672592
>Pacman is by far the best package manager I've ever seen
literally install gentoo
>>51688467
I have and portage is the biggest piece of shit I've ever used honestly
I would actually rather use apt
>>51688793
install funtoo
>>51688852
Alright I'll give it a shot. Does it use the same package manager?
>>51676054
Then you're using a program that specifically goes out of its way to do this.
Pacman does not fuck with configs unless told to. Just like installing limewire wasn't a windows problem, it was you installing limewire.
>>51688881
yes but with improvements
funtoo is gentoo with improvements
but still gentoo
>>51689063
Alright thanks
>>51681144
Arch!
I forgot to generate my ramdisk and also accidently mounted my EFI partition to the wrong folder for the bootloader. Failed to boot, fixed it in a few commands in rescue mode.
>>51689124
gentoo/funtoo
forgot to change root passwd
load up a live cd
mount && chroot
passwd
done
>>51689194
Can do exactly the same in arch too. It's honestly why I don't bother with script installers or god forbid a GUI installer. Never know exactly where it messed up and it's more annoying to find live media and recover.
I recovered a failed debian install using arch live media desu
