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 βthe plateau of sustainabilityβ
I've fallen down the rabbit hole of a lot of Debian based distro's. But I eventually settled on Ubuntu for my desktops and Debian stable for my servers. Because I like some mainstream support and also like to follow the KISS principle.
Been in the Valley of Despair (Gentoo) for twenty years.
I think I like it here.
Went from Ubuntu, Mint, Manjaro, Garuda, Kubuntu, Bazzite, now CachyOS. Cachy has been wonderful for all my needs
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:
Probably the slope of enlightment.
I do still have Gentoo installed. Planned to daily drive Gentoo, and use Bazzite for gaming on the weekends, but I'm switching back to Gentoo less and less now a days, and just daily driving Bazzite now.
Being a Debian guy for a long time, now Guix.
Debian, since etch. Also, not corpo owned since birth.
Iβve started with Debian and Iβve settled with Debian, have had no need or ambition to distro hop.
Mandrake > Suse > Debian > Gentoo > Arch (since 2008).
Next machine will probably be debian, if any. Might stay with the work macbook.
My arch only breaks when I (unknowingly) tell it to.
Started with Ubuntu, happy where I'm at ππ»
Just wanna run an OS that works and doesnβt require reading documentation because I have a life and a real job
Bazzite/bluefin so Fedora silverblue π
So apparently I go from "knowing nothing" to "guru" and back daily.
Ubuntu: they tell you its easy, but in fact is a huge pain in the ass and breaks. Last two installs for projects I was working on were broken out of the box.
I remember trying Ubuntu 4 and wondering what the fuss was about. It IS the despair. Nice fonts and colors though.
Dang I think I ahve multiple personality disorder then! I use Arch, Debian and Bazzite. I feel all stretched out now!
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.
Plateau of Sustainability.
Started on Storm Linux, went to Slackware, and then Ubuntu. Did my time in the Arch Valley of Despair, along with a little Manjaro. Even tried Debian for a bit. Went openSUSE for a few years and then moved to Fedora last year and stuck there since.
Swap Debian with Fedora and we're solid. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
