Alt text: A line plot with 2 axis (confidence vs competence) referencing the Dunning-Kruger effect with various distro logos placed at different points on the line. Starts with mint/ubuntu near (0,0) and progressing through multiple distros to end up with opensuse/fedora at what it calls โthe plateau of sustainabilityโ
Where all my cachyOS homes at?
I don't really care about others but please avoid Manjaro they had some shady finances and apparently don't manage their certs correctly
Why in the world is Fedora peak enlightenment. Any well run, simple, community run distro is peak enlightenment.
I guess it's realizing you just want a stable "it just works" type of mainstream distro with a large community and support
"Almost bricks their machine" lol
It's not an iphone, breaking the boot sequence won't brick it. But sure, go ahead, lecture everyone else...
Nice corporate ad...
I would rather "despair" with a community based distro than using capitalistware were that graph true, however my Arch machine works perfectly fine and have no need to do so. On the other hand corporate distros...
Not a single comment about Kali that I can pick a fight with?? So disappointed rn
Not a graph of the Dunning-Kruget Effect. It's actually a reverse of the uncanny valley chart. This is the Dunning-Kruger effect chart:
I still use Kubuntu, btw.
Been using Debian for like 3 years now. No intent of distro hopping.

I'm running Kinonite and Fedora Cinnamon spin on my two machines. So I must be at 'enlightenment'.
Honestly, I'm tired Boss-- so tired. After years and years of fooling around with various Distros, I no longer want to work hard to make my computer work. I like the auto-update feature of Kinonite. Life is short and I ain't got that much of it left to waste on Arch.......
Debian. Anything to the right is lies.
Swap Fedora and Debian, now the chart is correct.
Iโve started with Debian and Iโve settled with Debian, have had no need or ambition to distro hop.
I started out with Slackware 3.0. It broke all the time. Tried Debian. Was happy ever since. Tried Ubuntu on laptops but later decided it's just Debian with extra steps so I went with Debian after all.
"trauma induced return to Ubuntu" ๐ญ it was my wifi not working that did it, and I'm just so used to Ubuntu from years of using it at work...
Been using Arch + KDE Plasma since 2021 with very few issues. Now I have a job as a support engineer for a Linux software company.
Ok this describes me annoyingly well. Ubuntu, then Manjaro, then Arch, and now Gentoo. Now I don't really want to go any further because I quite like this distro :p
Started with Ubuntu, happy where I'm at ๐๐ป
Just wanna run an OS that works and doesnโt require reading documentation because I have a life and a real job
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 Iโve 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 Iโve been shopping around for a KDE distribution. Fedora and openSUSE keep coming up, and I think Iโll be trying openSUSE soon. So I guess Iโll be skipping from the bottom left all the way to the top right.

Been in the Valley of Despair (Gentoo) for twenty years.
I think I like it here.
Mint... :)
I had thought of going to Fedora next but I ask myself why !
