This picture is incomplete.

You need another guy on the ledt side, just casually watching as the others fight. That's Debian.

The poor dude being shoved into the locker is Suse.

The bully is Ubuntu.

Now we need a bigger guy behind the bully, waiting to get his hands on the bully. That will be RedHat.

Arch will be behind RedHat, getting ready to punch him in the face.

Gentoo will be right behind Arch, laughing like a maniac at the carnage unfolding.

And to the far right side of the picture you get to see this underrated guy, just shrugging his shoulders. That's LFS.

let me paint you a different picture

i'm the one shoving you into a locker.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was never small enough to fit in one, nor fun enough to be picked on. Plus, I was prone to fight back; I had very little to lose.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Oh yeah?

Well, sudo deez nuts

Alpine linux is already in the ~~locker~~container.

Debian is the school

Where's Guix?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Next to Debian, I'd risk.

All Linux are equal...

... But some are more equal than others

"Ewww! Ubuntu!"

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I still have a soft spot for Kubuntu, but I had to move to Arch because I wanted my software up-to-date. It really fucking sucks when a new version of something comes out and you have to wait for somebody to get around to updating the repo. Sometimes it would take months.

BTW I use Arch Linux on my desktop. BTW I use Arch Linux on my laptop. BTW I use Debian on my server.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Time to change your username. BTW I use Debian everywhere. Best distro.

Yes. But my version of Linux is better then your version. And that makes you a chump.

Cinnamon, mint, cocoa

Gosh there are a lot of food based Linux builds...

OP is why paired programming failed. The one that did all the work received 100% of the swirlies.

Would you mind uploading the template to [email protected]?

I wanna use Linux, but gaming is stopping me.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It depends on the game, but Steam proton is pretty good.

This site is incredibly helpful.

[–] DeveloperKai 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This, I did not know about, I see that for honor is definitely compatible, so it's looking like it might work out.

The state of gaming on Linux isn't perfect, but it is very, very good right now. The best it has ever been by far. The Steam Deck uses Linux, and Valve has their people dumping new features upstream into Linux for everyone to use.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (7 children)

Isn’t even the steam deck Linux nowadays?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

It is, and there are still some games that are borked, but most are quite good.

This site is great for finding out what games work. https://www.protondb.com/

One solution is just to stop gaming and start playing around with computers for fun.

[–] NightAuthor 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Gaming is what got me into playing around with computers for fun.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same. My mom refused to buy me a console, so I got creative with finding free games, then mods, then roms, then reading the Dolphin dev blog and trying to decypher it, and now I'm a senior software engineer
