From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

My Linux from Scratch install. It was built by a moron.
It’s that pesky root user, right? There’s loads of their files on my system. I can’t edit any of them. Don’t know why they are so protective.
Is ChromeOS a distro? (obvious reasons)
I can't really think of another one I don't like. I had a bad time on Debian but that is because my use case conflicted with it, not because it's bad.

Rocky and OL...
Just their approach aren't as good as Alma or CentOS as upstream. It's just my personal opinion...
I just don't like the CIQ narrative and Oracle that keep pushing Red Hat to corner...
Red Hat being dick because most of downstream being dick, especially CIQ/Rocky.. they steal about 30% of Red Hat contract, while offer cheaper package (quite a lot cheaper, and they don't even work on SIG like AlmaLinux Does), but using RHEL code, and just rebrand it as the best RHEL compatible, Rocky Linux.
OL is worst... Overprice Oracle DB, provide free OL, fork from Red Hat, and slap much higher cost until your company can't pay... well at least OL is honest than CIQ...
People need to see from Red Hat perspective regarding their dick move on exercising their GPLv2, and the upstream code still in git.centos.org. It depends now on downstream for repackage it. So it's still open source... and you can still have Rocky, Alma, OL, just you need to maintain the build pipeline...
And Rocky is broken on Old Thinkpad with 7 row keyboard. Alma, RHEL, and Fedora isn't.
I still can't find the cause, but end up using Fedora on most Thinkpad I have.
Other than that Is Ubuntu... It's... simpler to use, but when you deploy to production or Enterprise env... mostly sucks when they push broken update, and we need to rollback, it's not as simple as dnf history undo... it's also personal opinion, YMMV.

Mint. I just don't get it. It's Ubuntu but "different"? I heard a lot of people have issues with it. But also a lot of people love it and always recommend it.
To be fair I never used it and it's probably fine/great but I just have a weird unfounded hate for it
