What's the comfiest, just werks Linux distro?
Arch Linux is great
I really like the wiki
Mint
Gentoo Linux.
>>54161219
>>54161245
Seconded
>>54161278
Haha hilarious meme XDDDDD
>LMAO CHECKMATE ATHEISTS I POSTED AN IMAGE OF SOMEONE WHO LOOKS BAD AND IMPLIED THIS IS WHAT ARCH USERS LOOK LIKE LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>54161202
Xubuntu. Its default theme might look like utter shit, but you can easily change it to Numix.
OSX
Elementary OS
>>54161333
Too bad it's so buggy.
>>54161343
You reported the bugs. Right? RIGHT?
Ubuntu 16.04
>>54161202
I <3 xubuntu
Ubuntu with Unity.
>>54161245
Ubuntu mate if better in every single way.
Any ubuntu spin is really easy to pick up, mint is just shit though. Not only is it not easier but it's even worse performing and more bloated.
16.4 along side window sno longer exists? the fuckj
Any distro with i3 WM
>>54161304
wow someone actually got mad at this
>>54161471
>Points, more is better
That image literally doesn't mean anything
>>54161471
The next Mint will catch up. Mint is based on Ubuntu LTS releases. Cinnamon is also much less bloated than Unity.
Debian.
>>54161535
When I tried both, Ubuntu unity was using 100MB less ram than mint.
I settled on Ubuntu mate though because it was so much better than mint mate.
Obviously Ubuntu with unity.
>>54161417
>>54161562
Ubuntu's dock looks hideous.
>>54161597
Subjective opinion - but maybe if you want to help take your criticism to their forums.
It's first time for me using UNity and I love it.
Fedora with KDE
>>54161604
Unity 8 will look much better in my opinion
>>54161304
this cringey shit needs to die
>>54161597
Yeah, it's uncomfortably close to Windows Aero.
I'm hoping with Unity 8 they take an approach closer to Windows 10's design with a combination of blurred overlays and flat, sharp icons.
>>54161202
Any one you're not too stupid to manage.
>>54161202
Tbh, I gave Kubuntu another shot today with 16.04 and so far I'm impressed. It doesn't load super slowly anymore and hasn't crashed on me (yet). Only problem has been the driver manager wouldn't detect anything so I had to install my graphics card driver manually.
I do have xubuntu 16.04 downloaded and ready to go if it starts getting fucky like previous versions of kubuntu did.
I've actually been really impressed with Antergos; super easy setup, no real issues (besides some problems with updates temporarily breaking things, but that's to be expected when you're based on Arch), and overall a great experience. I've actually started recommending it to people as a first linux distro due to how easy it is to get everything working.
The only concern is that a lot of the time when software says it supports linux it means that they support Debian/Ubuntu and only offer .deb packages, and then you end up having to build from source (unless someone has already put it in the AUR).
Manjaro tbqh
Anything that uses Gnome 3 out of the box. Shit's easy as hell once you get the hang of it.
>>54161333
Is it really, though? I've been using elementary for a year and haven't encountered serious bug yet, other than stupid ubuntu ppa system
It's a comfy distro
>>54161202
OS X
Sabayon because Gentoo that juzz wahks
>>54161219
>Arch Linux
>"just werks"
You must be trolling
>>54162792
I'm an elementary OS user since the 0.2 and i can say this:
Pantheon is hacky, really hacky, it refuses to run in anything that it isn't Ubuntu 14.04, and it's glitched.
It's not THAT bad, but it's glitched.
You can still use it with no problem, but you'll still have some annoying glitch here and there.
>>54161202
MAC OS X
>>54161202
Probably Xubuntu.
>>54161597
I think set to 32px it looks pretty good
>>54161650
Didn't they hire Faenza's guy to make a new icon theme several years ago? what the fuck happened to that?
>>54161202
I'm happy with mint, but I HAD to tweek the looks.
>>54161278
kek
Ubuntu MATE or Linux Mint, probably. I find openSUSE with GNOME pretty appealing, but a lot of people don't.
>>54161471
>mint based on Ubuntu
>mint scoring one third the performance of Ubuntu and Fedora
YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS UP
>>54161202
ubuntu mate
>>54161417
> Unity
Holy fuck, you must also like to drive to work with a fucking excavator
>>54161202
My favorite too.
LXLE. Those pesky Broadcomm devics are not a problem with LXLE. Did I Mention LXLE? If not, try LXLE.
>>54161245
I agree.
>>54161245
This.
openSuse its rock solid, long support and yast is best.
vanilla ubuntu with numix gtk theme and circle icons
everything just werks and is comfy af tbqh
>>54163620
is tumbleweed any good or do you just use the release versions?
>>54161245
mint is shit
>>54163683
I use leap so i wouldnt know, been using it since release. Updates dont break shit at all, and if u mess it up there is always snapper to roll back i love it.
DAmn so many problems with 16.04 the software center doesn't do shit, the apps it installs don't run and the apps it uninstalls.. I don't know what happened because it shows its removing them then the apps are shown again in the many to be removed - so much broken shit... should I go with minimal ubuntu core? OR trash it entirely and go with arch.
Debian with Xfce. I don't like systemd, but Debian is much more than just it's init.
Debian doesn't use the bleeding edge version of every package... and I like that. The documentation and support community is good.
>>54163740
I just realized that I was retarded for installing it so early, should've waited a week or a month for more bug fixes.
Ubuntu with unity
>>54163694
This.
Was more slugish and less responsive than Ubuntu on my i5 2420m with 4GB ram.
Ubuntu with unity is so much better than mint with cinnamon.
Ubuntu mate is best distro
gentoo.
after 100 days of not upgrading, i did a full world update and had no problems.
kernel update. the works.
I have yet to understand why people cry and whine about it or Arch.
Then again I guess I know how to use fucking gnu/linux.
this :3
>>54161202
Ubuntu mate
People really like unity?
>>54163825
It's not bad, but I've preferred mate.
I would honestly prefer unity on a touch screen though
>>54163825
honestly you just need a custom theme and it looks kinda good.... the default one is fucking ugly
>>54161202
>xfce
It's cool until you realize that it doesn't support 60fps and a simple YouTube video makes the screen stutter and jitter.
Went back to Ubuntu and it's pretty comfy
>>54163936
Ubuntu with unity or Xubuntu?
>>54164030
I think he means unity
Ubuntu Gnome, it's a separate iso that works perfectly. Also wayland.
>>54164126
>>54164030
he clearly states XFCE which means Xubuntu. the compositor is shit. use compton instead.
>>54163936
idiot?
>>54163903
let's be realistic here, if the way your desktop looks is a priority then you do not need a pc.
>>54163936
Its nothing like that
>>54161202
Xubuntu
Manjaro with XFCE
Fedora
yes i aspire to become a corporate drone
So is compton mandatory on xfce?
>>54161245
>>54161292
>>54163500
>>54163524
You fucking Mint shills are becoming as bad as the Windows shills.
Please stop shilling your fucking unsecure, bloated piece of shit OS.
Xfce and Gnome are the comfiest DEs out there.I personally use xubuntu because it is more battery efficient.
>>54161535
LTS releases belong on the server.
>>54161202
Comfy but still usable? That would have to be Gentoo
It's the most stable and supported of the ultra-customizable distros (AKA the comfy ones).
>>54162015
This. So comfy.
solus os is really comfy for me.
even though steam doesn't work and there's not much software.
What it does have works.
>>54161202
Void Linux
>>54161471
you forgot to post the other benchmarks, in which mint wins literally every one
Netrunner
>>54163817
What DE?
>>54161202
Debian MATE, mate
>>54164655
Proof?
Mint has always been behind Ubuntu because it's using an older release with an older kernel and drivers
I prefer openbox so I would say lubuntu but their visual look is a bit weard, it's not really bad but it can look so much better
>>54164655
Mint has always been shit.
It's based on an outdated release of Ubuntu with an even more outdated kernel because muh stability
>>54161202
>>54161202
You have to take into account popularity and support and a number of peripheral problems. For instance Mint has a poor security culture.
That's why I think Ubuntu Mate is the comfiest, you get all the advantages of having a well supported and serious distro and you ignore the worst part of Ubuntu which is the Unity system.
Furthermore it's designed for noobs so it will just werk. No other distro will just werk as well except Mint but as I've mentioned before they are amateurish.
>>54164855
I just can't take mint as a distro seriously.
They should have gone with Ubuntu cinnamon, or Cinnabuntu and worked as an Ubuntu branch.
Instead they put something like 6 ads on their page, as well as asking for donations. It's just a scam and so many people fall for it.
Debian stable.
>>54163817
What de? Can't figure out whether it's mate or xfce
>>54165290
Looks like kde
>>54161202
ubuntu or mint are probably the easiest distros since there's tons of info to be found, as desktop manager i'd guess gnome?
gentoo with bspwm
>>54165290
>>54164666
bump pls
not kde
thinking it's most like MATE
>>54164469
yes
>>54161202
xubuntu core
>>54161471
>more bloated than ubuntu
i thought this was impossible
>>54161309
>this x100
It really just werks even on literally any shit-tier netbook. (really low resource demand)
>>54163655
This is actually where I've landed after quite a bit of distro hopping and ricing...I feel like unity got a bad rep because when it launched it was horrible for customization. Having the dock on the bottom on auto hide makes it really nice
>>54161202
>just werks
>Linux
Oxymoron.
elementary OS
Arch is great. Antergos is nice, which is literally Arch with a GUI installer.
>>54162998
No, Arch does "just werk." Plus like >>54161219 said, the wiki is fucking amazing. There is nothing like it and it makes Ubuntu forums look like shit, and they are a corporation.
Fedora + Cinnamon tbqh, senpai.
to me the comfiest just works is lubuntu
Why don't more people use freedom distros like trisquel or parabola?
>>54165949
this
i kinda like xubuntu dektop though
>>54166020
I used Trisquel before. It's okay just very outdated.
>>54166039
yes but once you have any ubuntu installed its easy to add more styles
>>54161417
Highly underrated. Unity *was* terrible but it has made great progress and is fairly comprehensive. Enable minimize on click, menus on task bar for consistency, and open terminal in context menu and it's near perfect.
>>54163740
they switched to gnome software centre which is shit
>>54161304
I would say arch users on suicide watch, but probably it's more like arch users on hearth attack watch
Xubuntu but with a different file manager. Thunar is an unstable piece of shit without a regular maintainer. What's a stable alternative people can recommend?
>>54166069
I'm afraid to fuck it up.
It's bound to shit something up, or leave something thats not needed.
Gentoo and enlightenment
>>54165937
>Arch user show once again that he only knows ubuntu and arch
The gentoo forums, the debian irc and mailinglists and the debian handbook are at least as good as the arch wiki and can be used in addition to it. The arch wiki is mostly used by people that don't even use arch.
>>54163757
The systemd article on the debian wiki shows how to install debian without it. If ylu want to you can follow that.
>>54166364
Damn, don't get hostile. They are all good too. I'm a huge Debian fan. Calm down senpai.
>>54166137
What the fuck did you do to make Thunar unstable?
>>54163256
> Unity
>Holy fuck, you must also like to drive to work with a fucking excavator
Kek
>>54166364
And this has what to do with anything he said?
>>54166555
Nothing - that's the problem. I just do a lot of file operations and probably notice shit more than you.
>>54166130
> if x worked
Lel.
>>54165933
Is that the new alpha?
>>54165933
Can you post the wallpaper?
>>54161417
Amazon ? Fucking kill yourself faggot, immediately.
>>54166817
I move GB of data every week.
Notice shit? You're implying it's blatant. If it's so unstable then what are you noticing that I'm not? Thunar is just about perfect.
>>54167069
Take it easy, honey. You don't have to kick e-ass everyday.
>>54163103
The only answer. Linux is pathetic.
