mjdxpi'm curious, what are your least favorite linux distros?
i think mine would probably be manjaro, because the company behind it is pretty incompetent and it's very easy to break with the AUR if it pulls packages that are too new, not great for beginners who i see it often recommended to

In all seriousness, even though I can't say I outright dislike it, I don't see myself ever using regular Ubuntu. I'd rather use Mint/LMDE/Debian/Fedora/etc. As for rolling release distros, it's hard for me to say because I'm not really the target audience for those.

@flobeamer1922 yeah i don't like ubuntu either. GNOME 3 ruined it
luna sugar🍬🍭🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈@mjdxp as far fae is concerned, manjaro, ubuntu, and nobara
to clarify
manjaro developers are extremely incompetent, as you described in your own comment
ubuntu is, where does even this sylveon begin, frankly, it's mostly the fact that canonical constantly reinvents the wheel, poorly, instead of using well-working things, they pretty much write their own programs for problems that nobody else uses, and that don't work (faer instance even has a rule saying "snap users dni", albeit that's meant as a joke)
nobara is a pretty popular distro for what it is, and it has like, brave as a default web browser, does this sylveon need to say more (well, maybe it would make sense to link www.spacebar.news/stop-using-brave-browser/, fae supposes)

@sugar god, why do people still use that bigoted piece of web3 crap
and the whole ubuntu family would be so much better if canonical finally acknowledged that snap lost the format war to flatpak and just stopped pushing it nonstop. if ubuntu shipped without snap at all or had it as an optional toggle during install, i'd honestly consider using xubuntu (although i do still like mint xfce more)

@mjdxp yeah, fae supposes the issue with ubuntu is mostly snap (even if there are other things that match faer definition, like netplan and lxd, and fae had issues with both of those in the past of them simply not working)
oh, and also, reminds faer, while unrelated, ubuntu is the only distro fae has ever used which managed to brick faer hardware (bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1734147), which is part of why ubuntu is one of faer least favorite distros 
(had to send the laptop to lenovo for repairs, pretty much)

Bug #1734147 “corrupted BIOS due to Intel SPI bug in kernel” : Bugs : linux package : Ubuntu
An update to linux kernel on Ubuntu 17.10 that enabled the Intel SPI drivers results in a serial flash that is read only in Intel Broadwell and Haswell machines with serial flashes with SPI_NOR_HAS_LOCK set. Warning: 32bit iso on sourceforge for boot-repair-disk still contains unpatched Kernel. This is especially dangerous if boot-repair fails to repair the system to a bootable state, as there will be no way of applying the Fix detailed below. Symptoms: * BIOS settings cannot be saved * U...

BussphometI guess my first time trying ubuntu kinda left me "eugh"
Same thing with Zorin.
That being said even as much as I hated ubuntu specific Gnome KDE has given me much more trouble.
the thing 
@[email protected] ubuntu and it's variants, manjaro, immutable distros (except nixos) and the occasional random arch linux derived ones that don't achieve anything.
- ubuntu because...do i need to explain it?
- manjaro because they're incompetent
- immutable distros (except nixos) because they just make installing new things way harder
- the occasional arch linux derivatives because it's not really different than base arch.
out of these, i espically hate manjaro and ubuntu derivatives.

Debian - Not that I hate it, just that it never worked for me even in the vm.
In terms of actually hating - then probably Astra and RedOS - proprietary corporate Russian debian and rhel lookalikes, with at least Astra breaking compat with debian it's based on for no reason and not updating their free to download version anymore, and RedOS once breaking on server VM for me by somehow switching to russian keyboard layout in TTY.
