Please update your experience, then. Fedora 21 and later have a smooth upgrade path from release to release using the DNF system plugin.

To be fair, that point is actually hilarious:
>Note that Fedora strongly recommends against ever running an end-of-life release on any production system, or any system connected to the public internet, in any circumstances. You should never allow a production Fedora deployment to reach end-of-life in the first place.

Likewise, I don't understand why Ubuntu or Mint users often reinstall every time they upgrade their system. Both LTS-to-LTS and release-to-release upgrades have just werked during this decade, with only minor glitches during the change from GNOME 2 to Unity.

Dy'all niggers have a job?
>distro hopping
Get a job and do some actual work cunts

The Arch devs expect you to read the mailing list everyday for when they decide to fuck shit up like migrating to systemd.

This. But you will come to the realisation that some distros are the closest we'll get.
It isn't a coincidence that those are all upstream distros, Fedora, OpenSuse, Debian and Ubuntu. Out of those I'd say the first 3 are good enough for about 99.9% of use cases.
The biggest eureka moment I had recently was actually giving KDE a good try and discovering it was the DE I had missed all along.

i never read their mailing list and my system is just fine.
idk what you're talking about m8

most linux homos cannot because they only know ricing

That's a little rash.

I bet you smoked and did drugs and drank alcohol because of peer pressure too, weak betacuck.
You need to be a special kind of faggot to be using any distro and getting hacked because its unattended. I've left Ubuntu (fucking UBUNTU) unattended for days and never had an issue. Use a distro that fits your competence level next time. Like Windows 10.

Do you want a medal for finally getting a secure OS after about 2 decades of trying?

i dont think its something that deserves a medal user.
every os should be secure be default.

>ran firefox as root
JUST

I haven't distro hopped since I settled on Arch years ago and since Antergos got stable, I have no reason to personally use any other distro.

This is what happens when you take memes too far. If anyone actually thinks we're serious when we say 'INSTALL GEN2' then read this and get a sense of humor.

KDE always felt jagged and too bugged for me. Not that gnome is any better but still

Pacman called he wants to fuck your entire shit up next Wednesday

I followed an user's suggestion of using an alias with an RSS reader.
alias update='newsboat -r && yaourt -Syu --aur'

works well enough for me

Try it again. I tried it about 3 years ago and it was shit then, I agree. KDE now and also KDE as it will be in early 2018 is fucking amazing. I haven't hit any bugs on Fedora KDE so far. Don't use Kubuntu, it's shit, like complete utter shit. Debian might be better but I'd go with Testing, not Stable. Or OpenSuse as many people will recommend. Opensuse is brilliant but it has a few annoying quirks not related to KDE.

You're meant to name the distro, dumdum.

Hello Xubuntu

There's literally no reason to use KDE in AD 2017 when XFCE achieves the same results by using less resources.

>cat /dev/sda > /media/whatever
done

You must have some magic GPU drivers or have installed compton, there's no way you don't get tearing on Xubuntu if you haven't got either of those.
>use KDE in AD 2017 when XFCE achieves the same results by using less resources
Woah, not even close. And I don't know how bad KDE used to be but the resource usage is only marginally higher for a far better overall experience than any shit GTK-based DE.

No screen tearing on my machine

Intel graphics has vsync enabled by default.

There is an easy fix for it you illiterate retard

Hello gentoo

forget the mailing list, just go to the front page of archlinux.org right before you run an update. I only update once a week so it's not a big deal, and there have only been a few times that an update would have caused a problem. And they provide you with simple instructions to carry out the update without messing up your system. Not a bad deal I'd say

this can happen to anyone on any distro who runs firefox as root. you don't ever do that. ever.

You really don't want to go there. You really don't want to start discussing the security of Windows. It unironically requires more care and user-end maintenance than any other operating system. And still manages to be more vulnerable.

newsboat -r && yaourt -Syu --aur

do tell me more about this user, I use pacman.

bye KDE

Use a non-hobbyist operating system, such as OS X.
