Ubuntu or Gentoo for my laptop?
>inb4 (((Windows)))

solus

Gentoo of course

Are you new to Linux?

no I'm not new, just wondering what some user opinions are for laptop use.

Gentoo is my favorite for desktop use for the record

Yeah use gentoo

depends on your needs, I'd never use an apt-based distro though just because fucking awful. If you're not new, arch is also fantastic. Gentoo-musl is an option for tinier shit too.

Windows. Don't be autistic

No. Don't shill that jewish shit somewhere else.

Gentoo is better in every aspect

wonder who's behind this post

>just because fucking awful
What's awful about a well thought out, stable distribution?

Gentoo if you want your laptop to melt before you finish installing.

you can get well thought out and stable with a modern package manager.

Always gentoo. Unless you like a broken piece of garbage OS where the package manager gui and the updater never fucking work, and also the OS installer breaks (segfault or infinite loop) if you choose any non-default options. Then choose ubuntu, it'll be a perfect fit for you.

Source Mage, just install it already.

How are you torn between these two? What on earth are your needs or critieria for selecting a distro? I don't see how you could ever narrow it down to these two together.

Not a single apt-based distro can be called stable by any stretch of the imagination. Deb*an uses a trick to make that definition fit: they rephrase stable to mean "the bugs absolutely never get patched", i.e. "never changes", which allows sysadmins to patch shit locally and know the patch will always be applicable henceforth.

Behold anons: an idiot

What os does Umi use?

install gentoo

Ubuntu MATE.
