    Today OP woke up and chose violence

    [–] Siegfried@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

    If they truly wanted violence, they would have put one of the good ones in the S category

    [–] massacre@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

    I, for one, am triggered.

    [–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 53 points 2 days ago

    reported.

    OP is inciting violence

    [–] JustJack23@slrpnk.net 76 points 3 days ago (1 children)

    [–] blinfabian@feddit.nl 38 points 3 days ago (1 children)

    I agree with list. I set my 98 year old grandma up on Kali as her first ever computer a month ago, and she's already hacked into the Department of Energy.

    [–] Janx@piefed.social 7 points 2 days ago

    She stole my power! Next, she'll be hacking time...

    Arch belongs in good for beginners. It has an entire site dedicated to its manual

    [–] blinfabian@feddit.nl 32 points 3 days ago (1 children)

    youre so right. except i feel like the archinstall script makes things way harder for no reason

    The fact that people downvote this taking it seriously….

    [–] Zozano@aussie.zone 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    I've said it before, but NixOS technically isn't bad for beginners (assuming they'll never operate another Linux distro - but let's be honest, after you learn Nix, why would you?).

    Unlike other distros, you can't break Nix. You never need to reinstall. Sure, the advice you find online pertaining to FSH will confuse you, and you'll wonder why the fuck anyone would ever need to set up a "snapshot", but it won't matter.

    You'll spend your days showing your friends and family your girthy flake, you'll tell them how you use home manager to create a shell script INSIDE your home.nix module so it's declarative - they wont understand, but happy that at least you're over your catboy phase.

    [–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    you're over your catboy phase

    Is there a UwUntu- or Nyarch-like NixOS fork to smoothen or eliminate the transition from catboy?

    [–] Zozano@aussie.zone 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    You can technically use Nix on another distro, does that count?

    Pop!_OS rises above C due to fancy window tiling but falls short of A because it has a stupid exclamation mark and unnecessary underscore in its name?

    [–] bizzle@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    It feels like they want to be Panic! At the Disco

    [–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

    Pop! at the OS

    [–] washbasin@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 days ago

    I love your energy and enthusiasm. GTFO.

    [–] germanatlas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    Istg some of these symbols have to be made up, there can’t be that many distros with blue circle + white emblem as logo

    [–] blinfabian@feddit.nl 8 points 2 days ago

    its awesome that like 99% of tech logos are mainly blue. it totally doesnt drive me insane :3 πŸ‘

    I loved how, as a beginner, Gentoo used to update all of my packages during the day, while I was working, using my 16 cores 100%. That's what I call high-level multitasking.

    [–] varnia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 3 days ago (2 children)

    Updating Gentoo kept my feet warm during the night.

    [–] mech@feddit.org 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

    I run Slackware, which also needs compilation for additional software.
    Not for me, but for my cat.

    Putting Pop in B tier has such a chaotic energy, I can't help but respect that.

    [–] ThunderQueen@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

    Youre a monster

    [–] vk6flab@lemmy.radio 17 points 3 days ago (4 children)

    Apparently Debian ranks lower than the distros that are based on it.

    What ranking are you using to arrive at this conclusion?

    [–] blinfabian@feddit.nl 32 points 3 days ago (1 children)

    snaps are awesome πŸ”₯ W ubuntu

    Slackware on S Tier.
    Yep, this list is truth.

    [–] juipeltje@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

    Bro still managed to forget GNU Guix

    [–] Gonzako@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)
    [–] clubb@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago

    It's the fourth in z tier

    [–] MasterOKhan@lemmy.ca 11 points 3 days ago (2 children)

    One nuance, NixOS is only beginner friendly when you use flakes

    [–] JustJack23@slrpnk.net 12 points 3 days ago

    And when you are not a beginner
