When was the last time you installed a new distro? What was it? Why wasn't it Debian?

When was the last time you installed a new distro? What was it? Why wasn't it Debian?

Newly bought thinkpad t430 here w/ a fresh installation of master race Debian.

Debian testing masterrace reporting in.

I don't use debian but I approve of debian

nice job OP.

best apt distro

it feels good being part of the masterrace.

Indeed.

I'm running Debian Stable with the grsec kernel from backports. Very comfy.

ma niggas

Why are so many people using xfce with debian?

I installed Kali Linux on my raspberry pi. Using it to learn network security.

> inb4 leet haxor faggot thinks he's cool lol

lightweight, does the job

QUICK! SOMEONE THROW A GRENADE IN THIS THREAD WHILE ALL THE DEBIAN FAGS ARE BUSY SUCKING EACH OTHER OFF!!!!!!!!!!!

OpenSUSE a few days ago, in a VM. Might use it as my main, I enjoyed it.

>not using Debian
lesser-race faggots

Ah, just the grenade we needed.

First Linux distro I installed and I like it so I don't really feel like changing.

Hi Allen

Earlier today, KDE Neon, and because I didn't feel like it.

Ahhh chinkpads. I remember when I fell for the meme.

They're a bloated mess of incompatible with anything hardware that barely functions under windows, let alone linux.

You want easy to use, durable, well-supported laptop hardware? You get a latitude.

Congrats on getting it running. I exclusively run linux, and thinkpads are fucking terrible.

Debian adopted systemd

Ubuntu mate. After setting up gpu pass through I won't fucking distro hop or do anything that could harm this...

I literally have this installed but latest XFCE and bleeding edge self compiled stuff on Jessie, it's fucking master race, after all my years of using GNU; Debian is the absolute best one and the most secure, it is master race

im running SysVinit perfectly and nothing has broken, apt-pinning and SysVinit, it's not that damn hard and literally nothing ever breaks, been running Debian cancer free for a year now and it has never broken on me once

After 12 years of gentoo and fighting the opendesktop initiative I have embraced Vanilla Ubuntu.

And I like it.

When I got my last new work computer, I switched back to Debian for work after I heard how much Canonical shitted up Ubuntu.

I used Debian in the 90's and it literally has not changed at all, which is a good thing.

I switched to Void Linux about a year ago.

Because debian can't detect my 1600x900 monitor without me installing programs, and on top of that sudo command not working. Fuck debian.

Chinkbook faggot, die in a fire. Elitebook master race.

Arch Linux

I've been using apt for too long now, wanted to give another package manager a go. So far pacman is bretty gud.

>don't have a lot of proprietary software
But muh freedum

I only use Debian Stable, I installed Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Gentoo for the meems.

How is Elementary OS?

A few days ago, running Sid.

Both are stable.
If you use xfce, you are not banking on the newest features.

Something like gnome and kde is under much more rapid development.
This means the older version has bugs which is fixed in the newer versions.
Going back is therefore not a pleasant experience.

The last two I have installed are Debian and Debian on mine and my course-mate's second hand business laptops. I just realised what a meme I am.

i used to have an inspiron

it made me swear off all dell hardware, no matter how high quality it might be

I use debian on my servers but started using ubuntu on personal machines for convenience. Currently running ubuntu gnome on a laptop and desktop, dual booted with windows 10 for weird programs.

Debian stable updated to sid a year ago. Very nice to use.

Because Fedora 23 workstation edition is better.

Installed Funtoo today. It's interesting, although I wish I had just gone with actual Gentoo.

Xfce more like xfeces, ugliest DE hands down.

You are aware you can install themes right?

I was happily running Debian Stable for a few months. Then I tried upgrading to Testing via the wiki, but upon updating, kwin was broken (no window manager) and now I can't use my keyboard to adjust screen brightness (have to use a command line tool atm).

I think what went wrong was that I used "aptitude update && aptitude full-upgrade" instead of apt-get (despite aptitude being the preferred tool to use), and during that process aptitude got fucked and ruined the upgrade entirely. I had to dpkg --configure -a && apt-get dist-upgrade to get KDE to startup correctly

What the fuck is this shit, you assholes? I mind as well use Ubuntu or Korora at this point, so I don't have to deal with this tedious garbage. Why the fuck is there 3 separate commands for dealing with packages? dpkg, apt(-cache/-get), aptitude? Unnecessary complexity that leads to bullshit like my situation.

Every single one I've seen looks like someone took a dump on an early OS X version.

Last time installed something new was 5 years ago and it was fedora. Before that i distrohopped between suse debian and some fsf distros. First os was fedora cire something. Second was brown ubuntu. After that i distrohopped for some while. Then i settled with debian for 1.5 yrs. After debian i went back to myladyos and been on it for aroud 5 yrs.

I like yum and dnf more than apt(delta rpm i guess). Though apt bretty gud as well. Favourite debian was sid. Though i had stable and testing on my desktop for a while. Laptop had sid.

I also prefer centos and rhel to debian. But it depends on the infosystem installed on it. Some blatantly only demand ubuntu. And ou cant use something else because "enterprise support". In conclusion i like fedora and im quite happt with it.

Manjaro

no rugrats

Hahahaha!!! I get it! Xfeces! Cuz you like took xfce, and then made a really clever joke about poop! Like FECES!! Fucking awesome! You are the man dog!! Hahahaahaha so funny!

when you do that, it just shows how much you gave a shit about his joke

well the joke was about shit, so yeah

I haven't tested all models, but my experience with Chinkpads and Linux have has very positive. Older models have some problems with the fan running at a constant 3000RPM, but thinkfan is easily installed and configured.

Well I'm sorry to hear that

Is full-upgrade really the same as dist-upgrade?
You are supposed to update to a newer release while the system is still minimal. Kde is not considered minimal.

Use openbox actually. It's just a fucking dumb meme.

...

> (OP)
Why do you blur out your name?

I have old cheap netbook.
what should I put on it: kubuntu or lubuntu?
I heard lubuntu is the best choice for weak hardware performance-wise

Xubuntu

XFCE is ugly as sin

If you want a Debian with more up-to-date packages just use some Ubuntu. Debian testing sometimes receives security patches very late and Debian unstable can break fairly easy.

because it takes 2 seconds and you remain completely anonymous
