Why is this so true?
>Manjaro not in the picture
discarded.jpg
>>54572694
Manjaro is literally arch linux with an installer. It shouldn't even be treated as a separate distro.
>>54572694
Only non-joke distros are included.
>>54572662
stallman can't even install his own OS, he'd never be a gentoo user
>>54572757
He could if he didn't have minions to do it for him. He's a fucking genius, he just doesn't enjoy wasting his time like an archfag
>>54572778
Yeah, pretty sure all he does now is give conferences and blog about evil software on his site. Some productivity. The last time he created software must've been 1980's
>>54572662
Prove me wrong
>>54572852
I only know what 2-4 are because where the fuck are the labels dude
>>54572778
If only we could have programmable machines to automate complex but redundent software tasks so that we didn't have to spend hours installing operating systems or hire slaves to do it for us
oh wait, that's what every other operating system does. they use installers.
>>54572852
that's a nice series of pictographs

Let me spoon feed you: From left:
1. Winbabby
2. Ubuntu cuck
3. Suicidial debqueen
4. Redhat prajeet
5. Fedora beta cuck
6. Archnigger
>>54573203
What is wrong with Fedora exactly? It is the most convenient RHEL-based distro I have ever used.
>>54572891
He uses trisquel which has an installer what are you even going on about?
>>54573203
>>54573246
Also it has the best fucking rept. If you Google how to get a package that your repos don't have you'll likely find someone advising to add the Fedora repo to your list.
Nobody cares about your OSes preference memes
Get it over with, nobody gives a shit about which OS you use and why.
>>54572709
No it isn't, you're confusing Manjaro with Antergos
>>54573246
Nothing, it is objectively the best distribution.
T. Arch user
rms uses trisquel, not gentoo. Gentoo isn't even approved by the FSF.
>>54572662
Man, I'm still a kid using Linux. In fact I'm a baby. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH
>>54574069
Being a kid was the best time of my life ;_;
>>54573617
This is /g/. Petty arguments over preferences is the definition of this board now.
>>54572709
and yet you treat ubuntu as a separate distro then debian?
I wish i could grow a beard like that...
>>54574145
No, we treat their user base as different
>>54572694
Well. Let's all investigate Manjaro to see if it is worth including.

>>54572662
>look mom, I posted it again
>>54572662
Stallman does NOT USE GENTOO.
>>54572662
OP's pic is Ubuntu propaganda. People who use Ubuntu want to think theyre users are 'normal' and Ubuntu is an advanced distro, theyre constantly trying to shoot down Mint, trying to make Unity look like its separate and not shoved down the users throat for so many years. I really hate the Ubuntu community, its taken over by fanatics, its no wonder everyone is trying to leave it and that Mint has more users
>>54572662
RMS dislikes Gentoo as it is not his definition of free software or something
>>54573203
I could tell for all but the last
>>54572709
Say that on the arch forums.
>>54572662
I use Ubuntu Unity and it's pretty accurate. I don't look as much like a cuck, because I'm somewhat /fit/ and have beard, but I'm some obnoxious college kid that's a wannabe programmer.
>>54573617
>>Get it over with, nobody gives a shit about which OS you use and why.
Trust me people do care here.
>>54572891
Yeah, a lot of operating systems baby people. Atleast Gentoo lets you do it yourself. I encourage new users to use meta distros because of the root shell installation.
I'm an Ubuntu user but I look nowhere near as good as the guy in the picture.
Come on, I use Ubuntu, why can't I not be ugly?
>>54576905
That's because Stallman doesn't like unfree software. He wasn't completely aware of the masking policy that Gentoo provides. It's still not 'Stallman approved' but it's a hell of a lot better than other distros.
>>54572662
>Debian
>professionals
lel no, that OS is for cucks.
>>54577736
Anyone who has used linux for more than a couple of years knows Debian is the best and most stable distro out there. If they use something else that's just personal preference or because they got used to it.
I'm sick of people who just installed arch or fedora or whatever as their first distro shitting on Debian. Debian has the largest server share on the internet. There's a good reason for that.
>>54577827
Yes, good cuck. Support the distro that removes packages that triggers them. At least arch and fedora supports free speech.

Don't be retarded
Slackware is the last pure Linux distro around
Also it's still the best distro for living room PCs that just need a stable as fuck distro with everything included
>>54572662
>I am currently posting from mint
>>54578349
just bash it into shape and it will stay that way forever.
>>54578301
Honestly ever since systemd rolled out if arch breaks it's your fault.
>>54578395
Exactly
Upgrades are flawless too, unlike debian where dist-upgrade is a disaster
Also the Slackware installer is the best OS installer bar none

Where is openSUSE?
>>54572662
>not posting superior version
geez
>>54578451
Why would Stallman use Gentoo?
>>54578457
because it's 100% free as in freedom, but RMS currently uses Trisquel
>>54578478
>100% free as in freedom
Gentoo's default installation medium contains non-free software.
Can someone explain to me why taking debian or arch, adding a DE+theme, and a few preinstalled packages constitutes that being called a whole new distro?
Shit like Manjaro are just retarded, especially the mongoloid community holy shit
>>54578498
99% of distros are the same shit (linux kernel, one of 3 package managers and one or more DEs) Obanto started the whole "DE's are diffrent distros" with their retarded "flavors" concept
>>54578498
I chose Manjaro over Arch mainly because it was easier to install it, and I was a bit pressed for time as semester was starting, and from what I read it's at least a tiny bit more stable, not being as bleeding edge as Arch. I'm thinking about changing it when the summer comes around.
>>54578478
>Trisquel
Yeah that looks like the OS of wizards and witches.
>>54576934
Truth.
>>54578533
>Obanto started the whole "DE's are diffrent distros" with their retarded "flavors" concept
What on Earth are you talking about?
>>54578415
>no package manager
Enjoy spending an hour hunting down dependencies
>>54578564
Arch takes all of 15 minutes to install, and another maybe 20 to set up.
There's no reason for you to use linux if you're scared of the CLI
>>54578608
Package manager <> dependency resolution
Also in my experience, most packages have between zero and two dependencies. It's basically a non-issue.
>>54578608
Why would I need to when the OS comes with everything I would ever need?
The only extra thing I had to install was mpv and it was no problem
>>54578601
They started naming/delegating support to different DEs and focused only in one (used to e GNOME, now it's Unity) instead of offering one download allowing users to choose DE during install, like Debian or openSUSE
>>54578612
I'm not scared of cli, I use it for a bigger part of my daily routine. That's why I'm thinking about switching to Arch when I have some free time on my hands.
Does Slackware come with the drivers and firmware or will I have to install it manually?
>>54578608
How many programmes do you install in a day?
1000?
Tracking dependencies is easy, and thats if you want to take that route. 1 or 2 deps is the norm for the majority of programmes and thats if it requires any at all. You have never used slackware and it shows.
>>54578718
Huge kernel will take care of it. Its fucking loaded to the max. Check its size.
>>54578718
I haven't had a problem installing it in several years. As the guy above says, the default kernel is like a giant Swiss army knife made up of individual little Swiss army knives.
The idea behind the install process is, chuck everything in, and then you can configure the kernel with a script afterwards.
>>54578739
>>54578766
OK, so it's not like Windows where you have to manually install the drivers and firmware, the kernel handles all of that?
>>54572662
It's actually complete bullshit, no one in corporate actually uses Debian. It's all CentOS/RedHat/Ubuntu. Whoever made this picture probably is a NEET who haven't worked a day in his life. Also once you get past the stage of being linux newfriend you realize it's all the same shit and just use whatever you are happy with.
>>54578799
My former employer's servers run Debian
>>54578766
Man im so fucking lazy sometimes that it takes months for me to get to compiling a generic kernel as the slightly longer boot time doesnt bother me that greatly.
>>54572662
These distro war threads are absolute cancer. One expects this kind of infantile posting on /b/, not on /g/.
>>54572662
why are all of them guys
>>54578782
Yeah, pretty much. Although video card drivers are usually the FOSS version, you have to download the NVidia driver off their website.
I assume it's the same with other vendors, but I always stick with them, because their drivers work really well in Linux.
Other than video card drivers, I haven't downloaded and installed anything else, driver-wise.
>>54578782
The kernel will handle this on any GNU/Linux, desu
>>54578782
I dont use windows so i dont know but ive never had a driver issue with slackware ever. (ever)
>>54578825
Anon, most of /g/ has autism so distro wars is serious business to them.
>>54578851
my autism has nothing to do with the FACT that distro wars are a super serious issue
SUPER
SERIOUS
FACT
>>54578825
robotfucker
>>54578608
>no package manager
slackpkg.
Then of course you can use sbopkg or slapt-get/gslapt for binary packages with dependency resolution. There are others to.
Gotta love /g/tards and their myths.
>>54572709
No, it actually has a number of differences, the biggest being that it doesn't use the normal Arch repos. It has access to the AUR, but its main repos are separately maintained in order to keep things somewhat stable.
>>54578498
Idunno lol
There like 3 real distros. Fedora, Debian and gentoo. Only two if you consider how many actually contribute to kernel development and the ecosystem as a whole.
>>54579143
Add slackware and Arch
One of the main kernel devs uses Arch iirc
I bet Linus would use it as well if he could install it.
The only reason he's on fedora over debian is because it lets you fedora lets you compile your own kernel with minimal hassel
Aerospace scientist here. I love Arch for how similar its lightweight modular design is to modern (and future) space craft.
>>54579199
Giggolo here
I love Arch because it's sleekness reminds me of my girlfriends boipucci.
What pisses me off the most about Linux is that on Windows if I ever encounter a problem I can fix it by simpy restarting the computer.
When something breaks on Linux its broken for good.
>>54572717
they did it again
>>54579268
Great shitpost.
1 Informative.
2 Choc full of fact.
>>54578457
Stallman doesnt like Gentoo. Hes even made a statement complaining about missinformation on 4chan claiming that he supports non free as in freedom software like Gentoo.
>>54577827
Anyone who has used linux for more than a couple of years knows Gentoo is the best and most stable distro out there. If they use something else that's just personal preference or because they got used to it.
>>54578739
>>54578766
Does it not have the same kernel as any other distro?
>>54579722
Its different.

>>54579818
What about game control drivers?
Aint it the best?
>>54579851
Do you mean drivers for gamepads? They come with the kernel
>>54579552
Gentoo didnt exist when i first started with linux.
So how is it the most stable compared to... say, slackware? Facts only please
if i want a linux distro that just gets shit done (web browsing, word processing, presentation/spreadsheet programs, python,c#,java programming
should i reinstall arch and get minimal packages or get that big 40k debian package?, i dont give a shit about rice i'd be using arch+kde but 40k packages sounds like a fuck load and i don't know if it'll slow my pc down at all
i've used arch plenty of times but never debian
>>54579972
I think any distro applies here.
Installing Gentoo over Debian was the biggest mistake I've made this year.
>>54579972
Gentoo, arch or slack if you want to cut all the fat, ubuntu if you just want shit done.
>>54580098
Mess around with it, learn to use it, you may even end up liking it more.
Give it some time. You wouldn't turn her down would you?
>>54580214
I do quite like using it, it's more the fact everything takes ages to compile.

your pic is incorrect
"I use a Thinkpad X60 computer, in which the FSF installed a free initialization program (libreboot) and a free operating system (Trisquel GNU/Linux.) This is the first computer model ever to be sold commercially with a free initialization program and a free operating system, and thus the first computer product the FSF could endorse. (It was not sold that way by Lenovo, however.)"

>>54584018
should be, but don't take my word for it because I don't know anything about slackware
