What is the worst distro?

I nominate Arch.

Iskra is a godess made for breeding.

Probably slack ware as it does not even have an interface.
>>
>>53665070
Probably one of the countless worthless Debian forks that nobody knows or cares about.

The worst distro actually in massive use is probably Android.

Arch: Worst community

debian is shit.

Does anyone else here remember Lindows?

That was shit.

What about wildcards?

For me, the worst distro would be a distro that fails to solve the problem it sets out to solve.

All the small niche distros are the only ones in the race because most of them are just skinning their favorite DE and adding packages.
You get weird fragmentation where you have to find specific solutions.

Manjaro is one of the worst distros I have seen.
It is fine as a reference point if you don't how to configure arch, but once it is setup, there is no good reason to use it over arch.
The same goes for mint.
>>
>>53665598
Yes. I brought it from a computer market for about £5, it was my first real introduction to linux just before red hat.
The built in store was hilarious, everything was so expensive on there.

Anyway, I'll go with Void Linux.

Lindows was fine and implemented some new things back in the day. I remember they had the first paid app store that actually worked. I still prefered Mandrake back then though because it was the only distro that partitioned my disks when installing correctly

Gentoo is literally a meme.

Gentoo is the best distro you fucking mongoloid

You all faggots know that the worse is Elementary

>>53668077
A wildcard is a very simple thing for a package manager, say I wanted to uninstall anything to do with foo, now i have to do a search and grep, then type out my own statement. Fucking absurd

Not really, Ubuntu asks for donations, Elementary asks you to buy it

>>53668549

The gall this faggots have to try to sell linux and put an undertone that you are a bad person for not paying for their work (basically a gtk theme)
>>
>>53668519
That doesn't make it a bad distro, retard. It just means you don't understand free software. What, exactly, makes it a bad distro?
>>
>>53668744
Shitty devs
>>
>>53668793
Again, wtf do you mean? "Shitty devs" is unsubstantiated opinion. No facts offered to back up retarded opinion. So, yet again, what exactly makes Elementary a shitty OS? I have a feeling you are an autistic retard that can spout memes but has no idea what ideas may be behind them. You are a parrot with a fucking keyboard.

this
why use manjaro when architect exists?
>>
>>53665070
But it's a very good distro:
>up to date packages
>rolling release
>very limited patching of upstream packages
>simple, understandable packaging system and a huge repository of user packages
Yeah, it's a little buggier than stable distros, and a little more work to install, but it's a decent distro. Don't listen to memes.
>>
Gentoo. Chin rubbers and people who play chess at Starbucks are their main audience.
>>
>>53669340
Architect gets the Tay treatment every time the dev's ass itches.
>>
>>53665263
In two years of use, only one update has fucked up, and that was because cairo got an update and gnome stopped supporting the cairo-ubuntu fork.
The solution was obvious, get rid of gnome, never has broken since.
>>
>>53665891
>>It is fine as a reference point if you don't how to configure arch, but once it is setup, there is no good reason to use it over arch.
If you use the unstable repos, it literally is Arch with a couple cool tools like mhwd-kernel.
>>
>>53667811
Why would you ever use arch if you didn't want to upgrade? Kinda defeats the purpose if you don't want to upgrade for more than two months straight.
>>
>>53665330
lmao.
I read their foruns and think: 'man, I understand them.' Because I've often wanted to tell people to sort themselves, read the manual, search and stuff, but then I gave them the condensed, easy steps because I was no cunt over legs or entitled teenager anymore.
And they get so annoying about it.
It's a camp of blown out buttholes who've been tortured and taught to be strict and torture others by providing nobody an easier walk through the system.
>>
>>53666859
>I think someone just lost an argument and is trying to take it out on someone

Not really, there are curmudgeons, but helpful people too. You're thinking of BSD users.

All of the FOR FREE distros are shit.

Linux Mint. Shitty, full of bugs and security holes, loved by Pajeet and Jose, and brings nothing new to the table.

I nominate your mother.

She's been distributed to everyone for decades but still has no stable user base and has sub-par reviews, plenty of bugs and viruses too.

She's been known to have many vulnerabilities through her open back doors as well.
