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.

What distros have you tried and thought, "Nope, this one's not for me"? (feddit.uk)

I've been using Linux Mint since forever. I've never felt a reason to change. But I'm interested in what persuaded others to move.

Can you expand on that? I've never used Linux as a daily driver, interacting with Ubuntu systems via SSH.

i don't like how Ubuntu feels (gui) so idk about cli issues

it's not a problem with Gnome btw, it's just the colours are yuck vomit and snap 🗿

Ah yeah, I've never used the GUI for long enough to care how it looks, and no snap in CLI.

Good to know if my company forces my work laptop to windows 11! (I will not use an OS without a side taskbar)
