Meanwhile Pop_OS! is back in Brooklyn keeping the plumbing business going.
*plumbing ..... unless you were going for some sexual innuendo I don't understand
Real talk, Pop_OS! is just nice. Besides Blackbox and like 3 Gnome Extensions I hadn't had to change or add anything. It's a great experience and I recommend it to everyone.

Here comes Arch Linux with a steel chair!!
Here comes Arch Linux with the parts for a steel chair! Now they're pulling out the instructions for putting it together! Uh oh, the instructions say what kind of bolts they need, but not how many! Arch is trying to fit it all together anyway! Hmm, looks like some of the assembly steps are missing... ok, Arch has got something that looks like a chair constructed... now they're going to test it by sitting down... oh, and the chair frame has held together but the seat has fallen off. Arch forgot about not breaking user space again!
And now here comes Gentoo with a... a coal forge? Oh my God he's forging a steel chair from a metal blank! But what's this? Hes pulling out a smaller forge to forge a hammer for the bigger forge! The humanity!
And now here comes Debian, he enters the room and sits on chair that was there for few years already, and sits there for the next few years
And oh my god, here comes Windows with a steel chair! Its a fine chair that almost anyone can sit in, as long as its updated regularly and paid for, or else they take off two of the legs. She whacks you with it, but only with the long end of the chair by default, which really stings. If you prefer to be hit with the flat of the chair, she desperately tries to convince you that being hit with the Edge is better.

I never used Gentoo. Was it really that bad lol
I briefly experimented with it ages ago. And I mean ages ago, like 20+ years ago. Maybe it's changed somewhat since then, but my understanding is that Gentoo doesn't provide binary packages. Everything gets compiled from source using exactly the options you want and compiled exactly for your hardware. That's great and all but it has two big downsides:
- Most users don't need or even want to specify every compile option. The number of compile options to wade through for some packages (e.g. the kernel) is incredibly long, and many won't be applicable to your particular setup.
- The benefits of compiling specifically for your system are likely questionable, and the amount of time it takes to compile can be long depending on your hardware. Bear in mind I was compiling on a Pentium 2 at the time, so this may be a lot less relevant to modern systems. I think it took me something like 12 hours to do the first-time compile when I installed Gentoo, and then some mistake I made in the configuration made me want to reinstall and I just wasn't willing to sit through that again.

Mint Debian Edition FTW
Just installed Mint on my Surface Pro 4 that's been sitting in a drawer for years and guess what, it's now useable again! Praise be Linux.

But Mint is better <.<
I guess the thing is "Ubuntu is the friendly distro" but then also "Mint is the friendly distro?" Way back in like 2009 (okay, turns out it's been a little while) Mint was super comfy and Ubuntu already felt like it was in my way without actually being any easier.
Green Ubuntu best Ubuntu!
Use linux mint debian edition because ubuntu sucks ass
It's a bit extreme to say Ubuntu sucks ass. Ubuntu brought Linux to the masses.
Windows helped to bring the concept of an operating system to the masses too. Does that mean it's impossible to ever ruin it's reputation?

That's true but...I have been in GNI/Linux for just a year and have been reading how Ubuntu nowdays is awful but it was a great distro a few years ago.
Anyway, my opinion on Ubuntu has no weight since all I have used is Arch based distros
He mean it's the Ubunto brothers sexual preference

from now on i am going to start calling Ubuntu "red arch"
I have used Linux since 1993 (Slackware, Suse and Debian) and Ubuntu since 2006. I consider switching back to Debian because I hate snap and other containers for Of-the-Line Software and while I can uninstall snap and install a De-Snapped Firefox directly from Mozilla I hate doing this Extra-Work.
Dudes, even the "newer faster" Firefox-Snap is still taking three times as long to start and uses twice as much memory and on my work computer, a Core2 Q9550 with 8GByte of memory, this is VERY noticable. Yes, the system is old but for work more than enough. My i7 is only for games and I don't mix work and fun.
Oh, and then there is that old neighbour who is using a Pentium4 3Ghz 3GByte RAM, which is 32Bit only. He is like 80 years old and doesn't want to buy a new computer and his old rig does everything he wants. Ubuntu simply doesn't support it anymore. Supporting old computers is something Linux does outstanding (Windows 11 dropping two year old systems is fucking sick)

I hate to say it to you guys but Linux Mint is really just about the desktop and their initial setup of Ubuntu.
I personally care about unique and usable distributions:
- Ubuntu (Really excellent foundation for a stable Desktop)
- Debian (Rock solid but can be dated for Desktop)
There are unique distributions but not usable for doing work like programming full time and other things:
- Arch Linux (I personally not comfortable updating this distro)
- Gentoo (I am not high to actually use this distro)
Well, Mint also corrects some of Ubuntu’s mistakes. It doesn’t force feed you Snap, for instance.

I have loved Mint Linux for over 10 years. Never found a reason to switch.
