What is the most pointless distro that still manages to have a userbase?

What is the most pointless distro that still manages to have a userbase?

you're favorite
but seriously

mint

debian

opensuse

>debian
Beat me to it.

a good baby's first linux because of it's "dont break my comp" option
other than that, absolute ubuntu

Slackware

Mandrake

arch

It's literally ubuntu cinnamon with unsigned packages.

Ubuntu. It tries to be 'easy to use' when it's not a lot easier than vanilla Debian. I also like opensuse better.

>not a lot easier than vanilla Debian
But thats wrong.

arch, as far as personal experience goes i've found that people messing around with arch were people trying to overcompensate their lack of skill in cs

I've used both. On average, Ubuntu broke way more than Debian did really, and I absolutely hate the way that Unity looks. Debian's installer is also very easy to use.

Arch is great for education (like learning how to write drivers)

why?

You are biased. Debian isn't as good as Ubuntu because of the freedumbs restrictions.

Dis nigga doesn't know that arch documents EVERY SINGLE PICE OF CODE they get there hands on and if it's old they find ways to fix i. Literally every problem you have on any distro can be solved on the arch linux wiki

Chromium OS or SteamOS

>userbase

Both of those have very specific purposes, though. and are specifically designed for different applications.

elementary os

Slackware

elementary

By that definition no Linux distro is pointless.

Alright, that's fair. If it's about users, then both of those distros have more users than your more obscure distros. SteamOS comes preinstalled on a lot of SFF systems and Chromium just keeps getting more popular.

someone tell me difference between debian and ubuntu, seriously i think they are fucking same.

regarding OP's question, elementaryos and MINT should be nuked for the sanity of humanity. Why do hipsters even use those "distros"?

Arch

Delet this

Gentoo >:^)

Mint is easy to use, it's stable and it's pretty. Why would a normal user need anything else?

> puke green
> pretty
Mint was my first distro, and I guess it's pretty respectable (nostalgia for green puke and whatnot), but what's the difference between Mint and Ubuntu besides the DE?

Fpbp

Gentoo. Install it.

Hannah Montana Linux.

>arch takes too much time to install

Huh? It took me like 30 minutes to setup my installation, and I just followed the instructions from the Internet.

Mint comes with some stuff that Ubuntu is too autistic to install on default.

I still have my free CD of Gentus that came with my old Abit motherboard. Runs circles around any contemporary Linux Distro.

/drops mic

Install Gentus

You can easily enable the non-free repos in the installer for bebian, and Ubuntu has the option to not install non-free software in its installer.

Oh yeah

Boot up

You get the GUI out front

Hottest styles, every theme, every color

Yeah, when you're root it can be kinda fun

As long as your password is never discovered

In some ways you're just like all your friends

But on the internetz you're a star

You get the best of both OS's

Run Windows, take it slow

Then Linux rocks out the show

You get the best of both OS's

Mix it all together and you know that it's the best of both OS's

The best of both OS's

You go to software premiers (is that Linus Torvalds?)

Hear songs on Pandora radio

Bootin' two OS's is a little weird (yeah)

But tech support's cool cuz nobody knows

Yeah you get to be a Windows loser

But big time when you sudo

You get the best of both OS's

Run Windows, take it slow

Then Linux rocks out the show

You get the best of both OS's

Mix it all together and you know that it's the best of both

(You know the best) You know the best of both OS's

Pictures and videos

You get your face in all the social networks

The best parts that you get to run whatever software you wanna run

Yeah the best of both

You get the best of both

Come on best of both

Who would of thought that a loser like me

Would double as a Linux rock star

You get the best of both OS's

Run Windows, take it slow

Then Linux rocks out the show

You get the best of both OS's

Mix it all together and you know that it's the best,

You get the best of both OS's

Without the viruses and malware

You can surf anywhere

You get the best of both systems

Mix it all together

Oh yeah

It's so much better cuz you know you've got the best of both OS's

VectorLinux

Slackware

first off you're a shitposting negroid

second off, the "edginess" of a distro doesn't determine its usefulness.
The wiki is readbale and straightforward.
People telling you to "RTFM" has nothing to do with Arch--that kind of jackassery is found everywhere.
Nothing has ever broken for me. The whole "pacman broke my configs" is an old meme of an old and fixed problem.
In fact, pacman being consolidated (unlike aptitude and dpkg) is nice.
It's pretty much the best distro for getting whatever DE/WM you want and still being minimal.
The AUR is huge and helpers like yaourt make it dead easy to access.
It works just as well as any other distro (with the exception of Gentoo, but that's a whole other discussion) as a server/headless OS.

its actually pretty good

Elementary

CentOS

>(like learning how to write drivers)
Wow. This one goes in my "hall of fame" folder.

>It's pretty much the best distro for getting whatever DE/WM you want and still being minimal.
You can do the very same with Debian and Ubuntu. A minimal bootstrapped Debian installation is even smaller than the Arch equivalent.

>would of
IT'S "WOULD HAVE" OR "WOULD'VE" YOU FUCKING MOUTHBREATHING RETARD
KILL YOURSELF

True, but it tends to be more up to date than debian. I don't mind stable but debian stays pretty far behind, unless you use the unstable build
thank you

Distros that don't use systemd

Linux Mint. Derivative of a derivative with no real new features added.

It doesn't break when your grandma clicks update.

That's exactly when it breaks.

Gentus with XFCE is pretty popular.

>non-rolling release
>not breaking with updates
wew lad

Manjaro
