The best linux operating systems ?

[grossaffe]

Void is not a fork of Arch, they have a few similarities, but that's as far as it goes.

Hmm, let's see what their webpage says...
"Not a fork!"
I stand corrected.

 

[EthanAddict]

LFS the easiest of all

Yeah, that's what I actually like about it tbh, everything there is brand new and lacks weird design decisions due to historical reasons. And it's one of the few distros that have an alternative libc as its main option, it's pretty interesting.

Ubuntu, or Arch, but ONLY with the Budgie desktop. You cannot beat Budgie.

Had a number of issues with Budgie on Ubuntu. Eventually went back to MATE. MATE is nice.

what kind of issues?

To be completely honest, I forgot already.
I just remember they gave me quite a headache.

EDIT: Found it, "hmm, I like Budgie, but there's this weird white line in the right. It's only there when I click on another window."

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

But then I seem to have fixed that but left Budgie anyway, so that might not be it? hmmm

Not having that issue on Solus so it's probably a Ubuntu-specific problem. :/

EDIT: Oh okay. :/

Yeah, I figured that would be it.

 

[Plstic]

Yeah, I've heard void is pretty nice from friends but I haven't tried it yet.

I had that issue before with an early build of Budgie and the Solus team fixed it before I could report it. I haven't had that issue for several months now.

I could confirm that. MATE (and the fork Ubuntu MATE) is the best distro for every user. Bring back GNOME 2!

That is exactly what I am using.

 

[zSyntex]

I'd love it. MATE is simply to use because Gnome 2 was designed as a GUI similar to Windows, so an easy way to invite Microsoft users to switch to Linux.
It's a shame that GNOME 3 has missed this road

I use Arch (have been using it for well over a year) and alternate between i3 and xfce4 depending on what I'm doing. I write most of my code in vim, or in an IDE with vim keybinds.
Tbh just go with whatever you want because chances are you'll end up distro hopping anyway.

 

[hobbledehoy899]

arch, gentoo, slackware, deuvuan. pretty much anything that doesn't use systemd. fuck poettering

Arch says right on the wiki page for init that it only officially supports systemd.

I like Arch and Antergos a lot.. Ubuntu Mate is pretty nice too. Solus is cool, I'd personally rather wait for more apps on it tho

 

[SmellyPirateMonkey]

I like Ubuntu. Haven't tried many Linux distros yet. Oh and Zorin is a good one too. I've been meaning to try Arch out but I hear its a pain to setup

Sent from my toaster running Rebug

I actually recently used Void and wrote a ramble about
http://gbatemp.net/entry/liliths-thoughts-on-void-linux.13406/
I am back to Solus from Void

 

[hobbledehoy899]

To be honest, Arch (or Antergos, if you're in a hurry) will be good for any competent user.

I should give it a shot someday. Arch I mean. Antergos just broke itself, for some reason.
