    I got started on Linux at home from the valley of despair on early-2000s Gentoo. It wasn’t that bad, but I did have a lot more time on my hands being too poor to go out most of the time.

    I just put mint on a laptop yesterday; got no time for it anymore

      1. Redhat
      2. Fedora Core
      3. Gentoo
      4. Fedora
      5. Ubuntu

      I’m too impatient to tech support my own PC. I just want it to work with the lowest amount of hassle at this point

    I don’t put much faith into these charts. They are usually someone’s opinion.

    Given that, I started with Slackware in 95 with the intension of learning Unix-like OS. I think I went from newbie to pro quickly, then switched to Ubuntu years later because I decided I didn’t have time to micro-manage my OS anymore. I tried a few others first, like Open Suse.

      I’m running Manjaro since 2022 and it has been running smoothly. I guess I’m foolish…

    I settled with the distro that stays out of my way so I can get shit done. For me that’s Alpine, but that’s just me. Other people should use the distro that works for them.

    Perhaps midwit meme format would work here as well with Ubuntu on both ends and everything else in between
