Debian testing on laptop, fedora and ubuntu on desktops

Just Debian Stretch on a few servers

Antargos because I love pamac for managing AUR packages.
AFAIK plain Arch doesn't have an alternative.
Fedora on laptop and desktop, debian on server.

GNU Linux-libre is the best.
4.5.2-1-zen
Mac OS X because I actually go outside and I'm not an autistic sperglord
Right now I'm running Gentoo, just because I wanted to check "install Gentoo" off my bucket list. It's not hardened though. I'll probably try doing that soon.
>>54445468
Elementary OS
Gnome
Me too, it's flawless and comfy.
Ubuntu on server, laptop. Going to reinstall my server with 16.04 later today probably. Have an urge to go back to Debian but can't really think of a good reason to go back to it.
Xubuntu 16.06 as of right now. Kind of want to go back to Manjaro, but I'm not sure if I can be arsed right now.

Manjaro but thinking about Architect Openbox or Bunsenlabs.
linux arch
>>54446497
It has nothing to do with GNOME 3. The whole desktop environment and window manager is made from scratch.

if we're talking about budgie then you're wrong my friend, it's gnome centric and borrows heavily from gnome, and relies on many gnome services

>>54446567
Budgie is from Solus OS. Elementary uses Pantheon.
>>54446521
Pantheon looks and functions just like gnome. It's a copy cat and its a poor one.

Thanks
>>54446625
Nope. Even the architecture of it is very different. The whole desktop environment consists of a couple modular parts: Gala - the window manager, Plank - the dock, Wingpanel - the top bar and Slingshot - the application launcher. The UX and UI is way better than Gnome.
>>54446710
i literally have the same desktop with only two GNOME extensions installed ...
>>54446894
No, you don't. It might look a little similiar, but it won't ever work as well.

It's in the download list. That's basically Arch +OB ,right?

I like it a lot more than unity
>>54447175
It was very unstable on my HP G6 laptop.
>>54447243
Should have gotten a better laptop
>>54447297
My laptop does not need to cater to the OS, the OS should adjust to whatever hardware I decide. This is why Linux is 0.0005% of desktop market share and no one takes you idiots seriously. Always chastise the user for not having the 'right' setup.
Get fucked.

That laptop probably cannot technically run that OS, because it's not powerful enough to handle the desktop effects.

You have both of these. However, you only know how to use one, and it's not Emacs.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/LInux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

I'm terribly sorry for interjecting another moment, but what I just told you is GNU/Linux is, in fact, just Linux, or as I've just now taken to calling it, Just.Linux. Linux apparently does happen to be a whole operating system unto itself and comprises a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Most computer users who run the entire Linux system every day already realize it. Through a peculiar turn of events, I was misled into calling the system "GNU/Linux", and until now, I was unaware that it is basically the Linux system, developed by the Linux project.
There really isn't a GNU/Linux, and I really wasn't using it; it is an extraneous misrepresentation of the system that's being used. Linux is the operating system: the entire system made useful by its included corelibs, shell utilities, and other vital system components. The kernel is already an integral part of the Linux operating system, never confined useless by itself; it functions coherently within the context of the complete Linux operating system. Linux is never used in combination with GNU accessories: the whole system is basically Linux without any GNU added, or Just.Linux. All the so-called "GNU/Linux" distributions are really distributions of Linux.

is it in the arch repos yet? I upgrade my media center to 4.5 last week and it's unable to detect my hdd (first time in 10 years i've had this problem), not really sure why but a couple other have this same problem hopefully by now its fixed.

No, Richard, it's 'Linux', not 'GNU/Linux'. The most important contributions that the FSF made to Linux were the creation of the GPL and the GCC compiler. Those are fine and inspired products. GCC is a monumental achievement and has earned you, RMS, and the Free Software Foundation countless kudos and much appreciation.
Following are some reasons for you to mull over, including some already answered in your FAQ.
One guy, Linus Torvalds, used GCC to make his operating system (yes, Linux is an OS -- more on this later). He named it 'Linux' with a little help from his friends. Why doesn't he call it GNU/Linux? Because he wrote it, with more help from his friends, not you. You named your stuff, I named my stuff -- including the software I wrote using GCC -- and Linus named his stuff. The proper name is Linux because Linus Torvalds says so. Linus has spoken. Accept his authority. To do otherwise is to become a nag. You don't want to be known as a nag, do you?
(An operating system) != (a distribution). Linux is an operating system. By my definition, an operating system is that software which provides and limits access to hardware resources on a computer. That definition applies whereever you see Linux in use. However, Linux is usually distributed with a collection of utilities and applications to make it easily configurable as a desktop system, a server, a development box, or a graphics workstation, or whatever the user needs. In such a configuration, we have a Linux (based) distribution. Therein lies your strongest argument for the unwieldy title 'GNU/Linux' (when said bundled software is largely from the FSF). Go bug the distribution makers on that one. Take your beef to Red Hat, Mandrake, and Slackware. At least there you have an argument. Linux alone is an operating system that can be used in various applications without any GNU software whatsoever. Embedded applications come to mind as an obvious example.
Thanks for listening.

What does it mean if ubuntu won't install but will run off my flash drive?
Linux Mint Cinnamon.
I know it's not that good but it's good enough for me.
Also, rate my desktop.
Elementary OS on desktop and Xubuntu on thinkpad. Both dual booting Windows 7 for MS office and adobe.
Arch for 3 years
broke 0 times
bored and want to try some new distro, too lazy to start fresh
>>54445320
Manjaro KDE. Pretty comfy.
>>54445320
Debian on my Laptop.
Tried going for a pure linux setup on my desktop but I got pissed off when I tried to install AMD drivers and it caused my whole setup to freeze at startup.
Turned me off to the whole thing so now I just run Kubuntu on a VB and get the best of both worlds.
>>54445320
ubuntu
it's really great
you just type apt-get and it gets the apt
>>54454343
I like Ubuntu but I don't like where they're going with their side bar. That thing phones home to amazon with your search terms so they can target ads to you better.
Whole point of Linux as far as I'm concerned is to get away from stuff like that.
Otherwise it's nice.
>>54445320
Why is the UI so small in Elementary OS? I tried scaling it up but it broke firefox and didn't change the stuff at the top of the desktop.
>>54445320

not anymore
>>54445320
Linux 4.5.1.1-ZEN
>>54454440
I don't mind that because atleast it isn't tied to my jewgle account
I think their racket isn't targeting ads but showing them, which means they don't track you like jewgle, and it's alright because sometimes the ubuntu search bar is actually a bit useful
