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 “the plateau of sustainability”

    I think I’m at the top of mount stupid, because I’m certainly not competent.

    I started with Linux Mint and daily drove that for a while. Really liked it too. Then I noticed that screen sharing ssssuuucked when playing games, and since Mint’s Wayland didn’t want to work on my machine, I decided to jump ship.

    I’m currently on Nobara (Glorious Eggroll’s Fedora flavor) and… it’s just pretty easy to work with.

    Or maybe I’m at the know nothing stage, along with PopOS

    I went Kububtu -> Pop -> Arch with Sway -> Fedora KDE -> Arch again, now with KDE. I like Arch, been using it for years now and no interest of switching.

    I abandoned SuSE about a decade ago. There were more than enough reasons to do so. I would not put it anywhere close to “competence”.

    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 used Ubuntu and Mint ages ago, used Fedora when I switched to Linux full time a few years ago, and now I’m on Garuda. Basically, I’m aware of “The Valley of Despair” but refuse to enter it. I’m perfectly happy letting distro maintainers do most of the hard work. I have very little interest in raw dogging Arch, but Arch-based distros that put everything together in a nice package are great!

      The installer is a little bit less polished for now (until Leap 16.0 with the Agama installer drops as stable release), but generally… I guess? It just doesn’t come with Canonical’s shitty ideas.

      The problems of (Open)SUSE is in its backend. A lot of tech debt from the days SUSE S.A. was owned by Novell, they screwed up a lot. But their OBS system is solid (explanation: for distro-users it’s basically like the AUR), and they don’t do silly nonsense with Snaps but stick with Flatpak. Or you know, alias’ing apt install commands to snap install like Ubuntu does…

      It’s a really solid choice for a daily driver. Just the Nvidia driver sometimes causes issues, but what else is new.

    Once you know Debian you know the Truth. All other distros are heresy and must be punished.

    Praise be to Debian.

    Our distro, who art in RAM. Debian be thy name. Thy processes come. Thy will be done, on local as it is in the cloud. Give us this day our daily resources, and forgive us our distro hopping, as we forgive those who distro hop against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from software patents and copyrights. For thine is the processes of power and glory, for ever and ever, Amen.
