The bestest OS discussion
| I had Gentoo for about a year. It was fun and I learned alot. However the install would get messy a while. I soon found NixOS, which to this day I am simply amazed by. A NixOS system never ages (unlike all other operating systems). It's entirely defined in a declarative language and builds itself according to a central config. It's able to roll back after fatal changes (of which I've yet to encounter any). It's a sysadmins dream (also great on desktop). It's unlike any other OS
| Pop!_OS is pretty good for a desktop OS. It's based on Ubuntu, meaning regular, stable releases, but it also looks great out of the box.
| >looking good out of the box
It's like you don't want to make yourself suffer for nice things or something.
| >>bfeb12
I guess so. I usually end up changing the configs 7 times a day until the system breaks because I don't know what I'm doing, so I don't exactly shy away from suffering for looks. I've just found Pop!'s GTK theme to be the nicest one I've seen so far.
| Mint :<
| Amiga Workbench.
Now where did I put my kickstart disk?
| i use arch btw
| Gentoo

If they do that, people will find out how much NT has stolen from unix/linux to make Windows stable, more secure and networking/internet compatible than DOS (probably the only thing which was invented/developed by MS on its own)
| >>336348
Btw. I have a question: Do ActiveDirectory NTFS support UTF-8 yet? I'm just interested if MS finally arrived the 21th century with their copycat reimplementation of unix rights-management. :P
| If there was an objectively best distro we weould only have one distro
| > yfw Mac OS is the only good UNIX out there
:--DDDD
| >>336348
You mean the MSDOS, that took so much from CP/M they're almost identical! Granted CP/M is like the first operating system to begin with…
| slackware.
| My favorite is kubuntu, fight me
| Y'all cowards don't even use Rebecca Black Linux
| >>336424 yeah ibm asked m$ to make an os because cp/m didn't want to rebrand as PC dos so m$ bought the rights to a clone of cp/m and gave that to ibm
| Alpine Linux.

| I just have Windows with every flavor of Linux in Vmbox.
| Debian is cool too
| GUIs are overrated, FreeDOS 4 lyfe
| I just installed Raspbian into my Raspberry Pi 3 and it's very nice

KDE is not only a desktop, it's a whole suite of desktop applications. Actually there is an official distribution of the kde-project: KDE neon. It's core is based on Ubuntu LTS-releases with an additional repository for KDE-Software. There are a stable and conservative "user lts-", a fresh and stable roling-release "user-" and an unstable "developer-" edition.
| >>340383 that's interesting. But knowing that there's now a thread about ubuntu being botnet, i would search for other distros
