If you want a mainstream Linux OS, install the minimal server version. From this you can install whatever gui you want.

Otherwise install arch or Gentoo.

>>53106651
this, also xubuntu and ubuntu mate

Fedora 23

ubuntu, but it can suck depending on the desktop. Ubuntu with xfce is quite nice and not full of all the un-needed unity shit. Looks okay, too.
>>
>>53109050
Elementary OS is Ubuntu with bloat shoved on top of it. Just so we're clear, Debian is not bloat. Debian + All the crap Elementary OS adds is. That easy enough for you?
>>
>>53106624

LFS, Crux and Gentoo.
>>
Slackware
>>
>>53106624
Ubuntu. The rest either is bloated or doesn't just work.

well arch isnt bad, its just fucking impossible to install

Installing arch as we speak

Idk why it decided to go upside down

>>53110690
If you're not retarded and can read the infinite number of flawless documentation, it really does 'just werk' after the surprisingly simple installation. It isn't GUI, but that doesn't mean it isn't easy.
>>
debian stable i think. gentoo/arch for a very custom install.
>>
Qubes
>>
>>53110735
IDK, I think people's experiences vary. I ran Arch for a while, and had an update to GNOME leave me unable to login. As far as "Just Works" goes, maybe we have different ideas in mind when it comes to manually configuring everything vs. pre-configured stuff. Not right or wrong, just different.
>>
>>53110320
Why is that a meme? Arch was babbys first linux for me and it took 30 mins...

>>53110789
>>53107105
+1 for debian
>>
>>53111149
It could've been a hella easy fix if you looked into it
>>
>>53111296
I did, I fixed it. It was documented on the forums. My thing is that's not just working, that's got broke by an update so I had to fix it.
>>
>>53106624
>What linux distro just works

fedora 23 gnu/linux
>>
>>53106624
>just works
You should probably avoid Linux if you want something that 'just works' unless you're very committed to FOSS or something.
>>
>>53112029
linux just works and is more reliable than windows
go fuck yourself

meh
