Which stage are you at?

This is pure rage bait.

Dang I think I ahve multiple personality disorder then!
I use Arch, Debian and Bazzite. I feel all stretched out now! -
Yeah I had lots of problems with Winmodems on Slackware 20 years ago, definitely a bad distro too!
I switched to Ubuntu then and has no issues since.
So yeah.

So yeah.
But you said you were on Gentoo

Canonical: snap snap snap snap snap snap snap snap snap
What’s the issue with snaps? I’m still on Ubuntu ans abkut to switch to Debian, but for me its pretty chill atm because I don’t have to worry about updates or security. I know about the terminal aliases, which could be disclosed better, but it’s not that big of a deal to me. I thought it’s pretty cool to have a “store” that’s curated so I don’t have to worry about security, since I use Linux casually.

Isn’t Endeavour just easy install arch?
I think so, I use EOS on my desktop, but installed no desktop environment, and installed&configured a tilling wm and other stuff for my daily use. I installed Arch on my laptop and aside from the different tilling wm (and other apps for the wm) and some sensible default helper eos apps, the pacman reports are the same.
-
Manjaro too, but with even more interference
Manjaro is way different, its spearated from the Arch repos. Never used tho, and not plannig to either.

& then people return to PopOS, ubuntu, LinuxMint & Debian.

This. I’ve gone ‘round the Cape of Distros and found myself reinstalling Linux Mint on all of my older computers because it just fucking WORKS without complaint or issue.
Using Fedora on my newer laptop, but for a distro that you don’t have to think about at all and just USE, Mint is hard to beat.

Why in the world is Fedora peak enlightenment. Any well run, simple, community run distro is peak enlightenment.
It’s a meme, you read into it too much.
If we’re about to be 100% factual and objective, ANY distro that you feel comfortable with, and one that stops you from distrohopping, is peak enlightenment.
That wouldn’t make a good meme though.
-
But you said you were on Gentoo
Yeah, switched from Ubuntu to Gentoo eventually, since Ubuntu went to absolute shit.

Yep, 20 years later I’m running kubuntu again, excited for kde OS though.

Plus the actual knowledgable linux gurus ARE ON Linuxmint, PopOS, debian etc…

Anybody who calls Linux “GNU/Linux” is rightfully at the bottom of both axes

so am at CachyOS (i will say for EndeavourOS cause its also based on Arch,installed on my gaming rig) and Debian + Armbian (on my PI5)

I like to think I’m the right-most Fedora, but some days I’m for sure the other Fedora.

@voodooattack no, guru will create own distro

30 years of using Linux and I think this chart is whack. RPM based distros run by enterpises are the worst. I was happier with Slackware than Fedora.
I only use those when work forces me too and after the CentOS and SLES fiascos - F that noise. I’ll only recommend debian for work servers unless there are STIG/FedRAMP security requirements and then it’s begrudgingly over to Ubuntu.When work isn’t in the way: EndeavourOS on my desktop, Debian on my servers, and debian/alpine for my containers or better yet; golang and scratch.

I started from Ubuntu. Now I use Mint.

I did my first ever Linux install on a new build last year. I chose Mint, and the process was very smooth with only a few minor bumps getting up to date drivers for my newish AMD GPU. Since then I’ve grown increasingly annoyed by how limited GNOME applications are in general while also gaining increasing respect for the amount of functionality packed into KDE applications. So I’ve been shopping around for a KDE distribution. Fedora and openSUSE keep coming up, and I think I’ll be trying openSUSE soon. So I guess I’ll be skipping from the bottom left all the way to the top right.
Mint was my first serious move to Linux too! It’s so user friendly and clean.
I’ve been running OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with an Nvidia GPU for quite a few years now on my gaming / 3D art rig though, and I’ve really enjoyed it. My Win10 partition has been dormant and shrunk for a very long time.
Just make sure you stick with the default of using BTRFS at least on root, to get that snapshot rollback support!
For being such an up to date distro, it’s ridiculously stable. Usually issues I’ve had have been Nvidia problems, but I’ve been able to roll back until they resolved. Things have definitely gotten much better over time.
Wayland has also matured wonderfully and things like multi monitor setups with different refresh rates work just fine these days.
Totally get what you mean about KDE too, I really enjoy how much easy customization it has!
Hope you enjoy it as much as I have!
