What is the best Linux distro? I am between Kali and Arch
Windows
>>51964526
Arch is the best GNU/linux distro. Period.
>>51964526
Ubuntu. It just works.
>>51964526
>Kali
Kali is for pentesting, not funposting. Go with Debian instead (which Kali is forked from).
If youre considering using kali as a desktop distro, you need to do more research to be honest family
>>51964548
Tired of Windows
>>51964553
I am a GNU fan, actually
>>51964609
>>51964612
What about Kali in a laptop?
>>51964642
Is the laptop for pentesting? Then yes. If it is for anything besides pentesting, then no.
>>51964526
Debian master race. All other distros are for babies/furfags/macfags in disguise.
>>51964526
Why does Kali of all distros appeal to new linux users so much?
>>51964656
Those "hackers" claim it to be the best thing ever, but I know there are the same tools for other distros.
It is also for coding and browsing on travel.
>>51964553
>>51964681
I want something different, alrready used that ones for a while
>>51964682
I'm not really new
>>51964526
Debían
Arch is a meme, gentoo is for autists, ubuntu is bloat, fedora is literally NSA, everything else is shit
>>51964740
What is so good about Debian?
>>51964686
if you also use it for coding and travel then use something else. Debian testing is good for you, I think. all the tools in kali you want to use can also be downloaded to any other distro.
>>51964526
Gentoo, desu.
no memes
>>51964526
Uhh, that's Bill Gates, he was the co-founder of Microsoft.

I like Debian.
>>51964792
Maybe I will try Debian, so many people talking good about it in this thread.

I barely know about that one

Debian. It just works.
>>51964772
they make a version without dpkg so you can't open their .deb files, or install updates. It's amazingly shitty
>>51964526

attempting to reach highest fedora levels
>>51964526
If you use kali as anything but a live usb you are mouth breathing retarded
>>51964526
If it's your first linux, try out ubuntu, get used to it then try something more advanced.
SolusOS...!!!!
>>51964526
>>51964553
Actually, Apple Arch 10 is the best distro.
>>51964526
Gentoo is objectively the best, because you only install from source and you only get the components you know you need. It is the perfect operating system.
Do YOU GenTOO?
>>51965898
Arch is hispter garbage with a broken package manager and the worst userbase in the world. I wouldn't install that piece of dogshit on your mom's computer.
Arch is best.
If you want stability Antergos is second.
After using arch and then giving some other distros a try I cannot live without pacman and the AUR.
It's far superior.
>>51964553
Arch isnt GNU/Linux, while using GNU coreutils, it still calls itself Arch Linux. Debian as example is a GNU/Linux distro.
>>51966410
>advanced shitposting
>>51965331
Explain why Fedora would be better.
>>51965863
What is that?
>>51965999
Arch seems more free to change whatever you want.
>>51966168
I can deal with instabilty. It's challenging.
>>51966471
>Arch seems more free to change whatever you want.
How so, you piece of shit? This is what Arch users do, they constantly speak about things they've never used.
Explain to the crowd how Arch is more modular than Gentoo, you attention deprived cocksucker.
they're both pretty edgy I don't know OP
>>51966522
I don't know neither about Arch or Gentoo, that is why I am asking, dumbass.
>>51966678
Then stop inflicting your hot opinions on the rest of us, garbage boy.
Debian testing
>>51964682
Because they want to become haxxors.
>>51964526
Linux Mint Cinnamon. Most things just work, and I'm not sinking hundreds of hours into neckbeard activities just to get it running nicely.
>>51964526
If you're newcomer, try Ubuntu or Fedora(xfce or mate variation would be my preference, but pick up what you actually think looks better). Please refer this link: https://wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php/Babbies_First_Linux since it actually contains some good points and there's no such thing as universally best distro for every use case and user out there.
Friendly reminder that Arch was based on Debian unstable, and werks great.
You'd like arch if you like a minimal system with a lot of control. Pick debian otherwise, or mint for baby's first.
>>51967142
Was getting convinced in trying Debian, but that got me again on Arch
>>51964526
What in the world possibly made you put Kali on your final-choice-list of distros to use for everyday desktop-ing? Serious question.
Manjaro, it's Arch based and easy to install.
install gentoo
>>51967338
Why a fork of a fork?
>>51967363

>>51967363
forking dongles, how do they fork?
>>51966074
>broken package manager
How so?
tiny core
>>51967725
My machine has 4gb ram, kinda useless
>>51967515
keeek
>>51967796
tiny core is perfect for any use case
>>51964526
Arch is nice once you set it up.
(If you must go full autism on learning configuration).
Maintain the system is just as easy as
sudo pacman -Syu
If you are new I can recommend you Fedora, also. (Ignore the fact that has a meme name). It's pretty good.
Kali is for "hacking" only IMO, I can't see why someone would use it as his main distro.
>>51964526
Linux/D
>>51964772
Many things.
>Amazing package manager, nothing comes close to apt.
>biggest package base of all distributions
>a lot of software vendors/developers provide a deb or rpm package.
>literally the same degree of control on your system than arch or other "minimal" distributions.
>very lightweight (see raspbian) my 10+ years old laptop runs great on Debian, runs like shit on arch
>package maintainers actually know what they are doing
>you can roll what you want, prod reliable with "stable", personal use with "testing" (rolling release), bleeding edge with "sid" (also rolling release)
>if you go with stable you can install updates packages via backports so you can have very well rested and reliable core software and your userland can be as updated as you want.
The list goes on and on.
On the bad stuff, is the bullshit with non-free firmware and software, it was a pain to get wifi going during install. But you only need to add the non-free repo and you are good to go.

>>51968498
wait, does this include non free firmware automatically?
>>51964698
Then why use Kali at all?
>>51968801
yes

damn, i just did an ordinary install of debian and had to summon satan to get wifi working

>best Linux distro

Kali is a specialized distro, namely intended for pentesting and not for general use (IIRC the makers even advise against installing it and recommend to run it from live media instead). Stop the "hurr muh hacking distro is teh best" nonsense.
>>51964582
Except when it doesn't. Not to mention Canonical being a servant of Amazon etc.
>>51969834
but i want to look like an 1337 h4x0r :(
>>51966168
>xyz distro is bestl, but if you want stability choose another
How can a distro be considered "best" (assuming that notion even exists) while admittedly having stability deficiencies?
>>51967640
Anon installed an unstable desktop environment. People say anon is shit, so anon says Arch is shit.
(I know the pain of an unstable DE from experience.)
>>51966410
Both (and not only them) are, in fact, GNU/systemd. Within the next five years or so systemd-less distros will be relegated to a curiosity/obscurity status similar to that of the *BSDs.
>>51969893
because the cool kids in the desktop threads say so

No that's slack.

That time of the month? Well that explains the irrationality then.
>>51964553
No thats Gentoo

probably desu
but i use debian and it just werks pretty well
>>51970027
A debian is fine too.
