  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility.

    @ekZepp For me, it's Debian. It always just works.

    [–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol 48 points 22 hours ago (3 children)

    Unless you need nvidia drivers from this century

    [–] Ooops@feddit.org 37 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

    That's okay. Thanks to their insane pricing caused by covid, followed by more insane pricing caused by the AI bubble, many people are still running cards not getting any new drivers anyway.

    Don't forget NFTs!

    1080ti still works great

    I daily drive LMDE with a 4070ti super, works perfect. I do use the proprietary drivers but I hardly ever have issues.

    [–] teft@piefed.social 13 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

    For me it’s Mint Debian Edition.

    [–] JP1@musicworld.social 3 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

    @teft Yeah, I've been tempted to take a look at Mint DE. If I ever try another distro on something I will def check that out.

    [–] 4grams@awful.systems 1 points 16 hours ago

    It’s great, well worth a try. Stable, functional and compatible, just how I like it.

    [–] dontsayaword@piefed.social 22 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

    i might try various other distros for my desktop usage. But for my home server it will always be Debian. Rock solid.

    [–] Spaniard@lemmy.world 8 points 19 hours ago

    Same. EndeavourOs on the desktop but the rest of the Homeland is Debian.

    [–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 hours ago

    Same. It's like coming home.
    Switched my gaming PC over to Arch a little while back but the server's always going to be Debian.

    I changed one of my PCs over to Debian this month, and I was surprised at how smooth it is. I guess I was expecting it to be way more barebones. I don't know if I need more than this!

    [–] zorro@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago

    I've been running sid on my personal laptops for more than a decade. Can't imagine doing anything else

    [–] TipsyMcGee@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

    I run Debian, super happy with it (also have tried Ubuntu and Steam OS/Arch, liking both). As a noob, what would/could I expect gain by distro hopping?

    [–] phcorcoran@piefed.social 2 points 14 hours ago

    If you are happy with Debian, I'd say stay with it. I have tried many distros but I like Debian and return to it for most of my devices. Sometimes Debian will have older versions of software if you use stable, I don't really mind personally

    [–] 4grams@awful.systems 2 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

    Thats what LMDE is for, Linux Mint Debian Edition. Been my daily driver for years. Otherwise I use vanilla Debian for all my server and headless stuff.

    [–] ForgottenUsername@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

    I use arch btw

    Arch is on my gaming pc and is alot of fun, but I must admit my old reliable is straight Debian, after hopping through a couple of Debian based distros, I tried straight deb and agree it just works. So it's installed on anything I don't wanna tinker with

    [–] JP1@musicworld.social 1 points 11 hours ago

    @ForgottenUsername I "use arch btw"
