Debian or Ubuntu?
>>55269138
gentoo GNU+Linux
>>55269138
Debian, it's far more stable.
>>55269138
Ubuntu. Debian's installer is shit and Unity is the best DE.

Ubuntu is complete fucking garbage for that reason alone.

Welcome to 2016 fa/g/got. Ubuntu hasn't had amazon-search enabled since the release of 16.04. Even in previous versions, it was literally 3 clicks to disable it.
Debian if your political views are right, ubuntu if more left. OpenSUSE if pro-european centrist.
Fedora!

>Even in previous versions, it was literally 3 clicks to disable it
That is 3 clicks too many
>>55269431
Its going to take way more than 3 clicks to set debian to work as well as ubuntu out of the box.
>>55269429
Everytime some recs Fedora I don't know if it is a thinly veiled meme or if it actually has any benefits. Probably should read up on it.
>>55269448
Fedora is a meme forsure
>>55269437
If you love ease of accessibility so much why don't you install Windows 10 you fucking drone? Linux isn't for you clearly.
>>55269429
>>55269465
Really? Why even mention Windows 10 in a Linux thread. There are a million and one reasons not to use Windows.
You are so stuck on this idea that Linux needs to be hard to use to prove your manhood...
>>55269467
>Linus uses fedora
It's funny because it's true
>>55269481
I suppose if all you really do is answer email all day then Fedora will do.
>>55269429
It just works guys!
>>55269138
Debian. Google bunsen labs. You're welcome

i wtf'd at that too. Should've posted.
>>55269574
Fedora is in the same level as any other mainstream distros, but using that as an example ?
jesus christ.
>>55269505
it's based on stable or testing ?
>>55269476
>You are so stuck on this idea that Linux needs to be hard to use to prove your manhood...
stop arguing on /g/ and let em kids pray to arch and gentoo gods, m9.
I agree that ubuntu is the most user friendly linux distro though. I really like it.
>>55269138
Mint or Elementary are the only options unless you have the time to use Arch
>>55269842
both are fuckin outdated though.
ubuntu, xubuntu, kubuntu, lubuntu or ubuntu mate are the only ways to go if you don't want any struggle.
>>55269858
I'm thinking of getting Lubuntu.
>>55269490
lmao
>>55271982
After using ubuntu xubuntu, and lubuntu as a primary os on my laptop for at least a week each, lubuntu is my favorite. Elementary seems quite nice, but I've only tested it for an hour on virtual machine.
>>55269829
Arch user here with a Gentoo server. I use them since they're the best for MY use case. However, I'll recommend Ubuntu all day to anyone that doesn't have a SPECIFIC use case for those distros... unless of course they install them in a virtual machine for shits and giggles
Both debian and ubuntu are great
If you're a babby just stick with Ubuntu
>>55269138
Mint
>>55269138
debunktu

>>55269858
enjoy your lack of menu icons without chopping unity up retards.
>>55269138
I assume you're new here, so go for Ubuntu 16.04, but try a flavor like Xubuntu or Kubuntu. If you're not new here, then just go for Debian.
>>55269858

>Unity is the best DE.
It's a minor upgrade from GNOME 3, which is basically a wallpaper that takes 500 mb of RAM.

>Using developed, released software should require effort.
>"It's not old it's stable!"
Debian users will defend this. Ubuntu is just fine. If you want to disable amazin botnet download the 4 other ubuntu distros without unity. Also
>Arch
>Gentoo
I know Debian stable is like a million years out-of-date. But what about Debian testing? Isn't it more up-to-date?
>>55269355
No. Seriously. Arch.
>>55269138
Lubuntu represent! Pretty soon it's going to be using LXQT, pretty exciting. Also, make sure to uninstall Abiword, that's bugged to hell right now, and could be dangerous if you're epileptic. Other than that it works great. Lightning fast. In fact my old laptop now boots up a few seconds faster than my current desktop. Radical, man.
>>55269138
Fedora
>>55269138

Debuntu

Cheap OSX clone

X.Org broke again
>>55276349
Debian testing is about as cutting-edge as you'll get outside bleeding-edge rolling-release stuff like Debian unstable or Arch/Gentoo. Unstable/Sid is literally testing but with a week or two less worth of testing per package, so I suggest using it instead if you really want new stuff.
>>55269138
Debian any day.
>>55269138
Based Ubuntu Unity
Debian net install and build my DE from there.
>>55269858
They are same fucking thing just with different bloatware.
