The Quiet Linux Principle

If you spend any time on Linux forums or YouTube, you'll hear that everything is broken, every distro is a "trap," and you must use the command line for everything. Here is the truth: People with working systems have nothing to say. Content creators thrive on controversy, divisive "tier lists,

People who have working systems generally don't talk about it. Look at the Steam survey charts. Installed #LinuxMint years ago and everything's been working fine since.

@jon interesting! For those non-technical Windows users who want to switch to Linux, can you recommend an easy-to-use distro where everything *just works*, with a minimum of help from their techie friends? Ideally it would require little or no command line interaction. What's the latest wisdom on that?

@triskelion @purism I appreciate what GrapheneOS and other projects are doing. I wish gOS good luck in:
- getting early access to future #AOSP sources as development is no longer public.
- fixing the myriad of #Google shenanigans with the OS and Chromium.
- getting mental health help for the main developer - he deserves all the help he can get.

Unlike gOS, #Linuxphone development is not riding on decades of Google funded development of the OS. Progress is therefore slower but it is improving gradually.

Besides #PureOS, there is also #Mobian and #postmarketOS - I especially look forward to the latter's future #ImmutableOS version which would have security benefits as well.

@sergedroz @a @bagder Agree. But if you want a bleeding-edge RPM-based distro, take #opensuse #tumbleweed. #distrowars 😆

I've been using #Ubuntu on my main desktop computers since Warty Warthog, and it's mostly been a perfectly fine experience. Some releases were definitely better than others. Like other users I've not always been happy with the choices made and directions taken by #Canonical.

But I am seriously considering if it isn't time to just get #Debian for stock #Gnome and #Flatpak ease of use.

@tecnoysoft completamente de acuerdo. Cada uno puede y debe usar la distribución que más se ajuste a su situación y gusto. Pero el que no use #Debian, ¡a la hoguera por sacrílego! 🔥

Bin zwar kein Linuxguru, aber bei Serveranwendungen greife ich immer zu #Debian... da will ich was stabiles haben...

#Arch habe ich noch nie verwendet, würde ich aber nur nutzen wenn du unbedingt die aktuellsten Softwareversionen benötigst...

Nebenbei gesagt... auf meinen #Desktop und auch auf meinem #Klapprechner läuft #Manjaro 🤓
