*cures your need to install docker, qemu and virtualbox to get trivial things done* >industry standard is having a system so fricking shit you need to run 30 VM's on top for it to be "stable"
Was working on a college essay and the desktop crashed and it closed all my open windows including what i was working on (roughly 5 days after i bought the compter with a fresh install) and immediately went nope and went back to my linux install to work on it
you need those anyway if you are a developer, docker is literally indispensable.
have you ever tried to set up mysql and multiple web servers manually?
I find community distro (like picrel) to be easier to use and more documented.
Meanwhile on Fedora web site I need several hours just to find the minimal installation ISO I need.
Fedora and Ubuntu wiki are also scary and corporate-like, meant more for their employees rather than users.
Arch is as stable as you can get.
>Hours to find minimal iso >Meanwhile: getfedora.org > alt downloads > server edition/everything edition (literally says what it does)
You just brainlet.
the reality is that these are the only good desktop distros:
debian (for stability)
opensuse (for rolling release)
arch (for neckbeard customisability)
CentOS (for being a RHEL clone)
BSD variants (if you don't want to run troony code)
>Hours to find minimal iso >Meanwhile: getfedora.org > alt downloads > server edition/everything edition (literally says what it does)

using fedora is basically just bug testing the next RHEL release for free
>arch is literally bug testing for everyone, and OpenSUSE TW is bugtesting for SLES and Leap
the issue isn't the bug testing, it's bug testing for paid software so other people can make money from it
>also CentOS is dead and BSD is useless
from what i know, version 7 is still getting maintenance. there is AlmaLinux, which granted is upstream from another paid (CloudLinux) distribution, albeit from a much smaller company.
BSD is useless for what? the only thing i can think of is playing modern games, but stuff like Proton is getting better thanks to Linuxulator, homura etc
Not really, you are now distro hopping with less distros. I use Fedora now, because no bloat, sane defaults, flatpaks instead of snaps.
I don't want arch because I hate rolling distros, and debian is out of date and makes it way too hard to get close source software.
debian is a meme too
if you want to use debian, it's like you nuked your whole stable repository maintained by debian jannies and only relied on AUR equivalent, and AUR is primarily maintained by redditors who have no idea what they're doing so you know it's going to have problems
>Literally just werks.
true, but if you want to live in 2022, debian sucks.

Then use Arch. This is the very reason I originally mentioned 2 viable options rather than one.

Just use archinstall, it's easier to install than most other distros.

>software breaking itself
never happens, unlike physical parts that decay, software is eternal, and changes only when physical parts decay (in which case it will most likely not even boot), or when moronic user ruins it

It doesn't break unless the user goes out of his way to break it. Biggest issue with the freedom of being able to modify pretty much anything with Linux is morons like you who just copy-paste whatever the first result on google tells you to paste into the terminal without any grasp of what it is you're doing. I'm also a moron but at least I'm aware of it so I don't go around tinkering with things I don't understand, unlike besserwissers such as you.

It is not true with arch. Arch's update model is bad because Linux shares dependencies changing them randomly is like kicking dominos.
The Release model is better.

The release model is worse for desktops, because new software will not be packaged for the old versions. For servers the release model (at least on Debian) is kind of good

Lol. Canonical is a child's lemonade stand compared to red hat. Gtfo

just stay one version behind, then, and you wont have bugs
arch is literally bug testing for everyone, and OpenSUSE TW is bugtesting for SLES and Leap
also CentOS is dead and BSD is useless

bugs will always exist and I'd rather have them fixed now instead of using proprietary malware that also is outdated outside of being garbage

you dont need it tinkertroon

Arch or Debian, rest are memes/niche.

No, thanks.
We use both at work
What is distro hopping?
