Which is better?
>>54799700
Gentoo.
Debian
Debian:
>ancient packages
>stablest thing known to man
>choose your level of freedom
Fedora:
>packages almost available before they are written
>moderately stable, but at times less stable than arch
>forced to use some non-free software, but you need to use third party repos for other free and non-free software.
>>54799700
both are dumb
these are officially recommended /g/ distros:
a) Ubuntu LTS
b) OpenSUSE tumbleweed
c) Arch or Antergos
Fedora. Debian doesnt work.

>>54799700
I use debian because it's comfy. Don't use any other distro because I'm so used to it.
>>54799700
Compare correctly. Like, Debian vs Red Hat, which is better? Ubuntu vs Fedora, which is better?
(Fedora)
>>54799700
fedora end of the story
Fedora is shit...
>>54799843
>official
>no gentoo
that's where you are wrong faggot.
>>54800531
in reality gentoo is a meme OS for /g/. There are real non-meme users of gentoo, but none of them are on /g/.

Currently running through this on my Fedora 23 install.
>>54800555
/g/ is also a meme, thats why it's the official OS.
>>54799700
Fedora.
Debian needs to have a separate package flow for non-critical programs like ffmpeg, qemu, and libboost.
These packages should be allowed to update faster. Otherwise, I don't mind that Debian kernels are a little older.
I tried Fedora for a bit. I dislike it because dnf wants to update its entire list every time I want to install a package, which is pretty bloody annoying.
>>54799826
>what is Debian testing or unstable
>>54799700
Both shit.
>>54800711
Fedora, with a little bit more stability at the expense of packages like calligra.
Until a new version of stable is released and it becomes a shitshow for like 6-8 months.
Debian, I like package system.

typical fedora user, not even trolling

>>54799843
I switched to Debian from Fedora a few months ago. I like Debian over Fedora mainly because third party support for fedora is non existent.
>>54799843
Yeah pls kys
>>54801213
did the exact same thing a few must ago, debian testing is good for day-to-day use

You may only post ITT if your distro made it into SPACE MOTHERFUCKER
Debian or bust. Literal Fedoras on suicide watch http://www.zdnet.com/article/to-the-space-station-and-beyond-with-linux/
>Specifically, the ISS astronauts will be using computers running Debian 6... Debian 7 has just been released , Debian is nothing if not well-tested and reliable.
This is Fedora's Diversity Advisor.

I've actually dealt with her before, and she is more than reasonable.
One could argue that it's almost like a token position to keep SJWs busy elsewhere (which we realistically should probably see done in many other places).
>>54801270
NASA use both Debian and RHEL for important shit.
It's sort of like >>54800363 said.
Debian and RHEL/CentOS are in a different targeted purpose to Ubuntu and Fedora.
In a business, government or other serious environment I'd be happy to use either Debian or RedHat based stuff.
In a home environment I'd use Ubuntu or Fedora (probably Fedora in that case, as Ubuntu can be pretty wacky at times).
For my laptop: Fedora
Packages are very up-to-date and the default settings are solid and secure. Also selinux by default.
For servers: Debian or RHEL
