From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Up next, a reaction video
Can you not just post what the use-case is and the list? I'm not going to watch an unsolicited 20 minute video.
My one regret in life is that I joined a lemmy instance that doesn't do downvotes.
I knew my comments were crap but wow... :)
Sorry, I was agreeing with you on the video list thing! 🤣
Does that mean you can’t downvote comments outside of Beehaw too?
The video is him reading the list really slowly, and the opinions are not much imo
My unrealistic wish for 2024 is for people to stop judging distributions by the wallpaper and the shell extensions alone. Not to mention that the distributions, that have been genuinely been innovative, aren't even mentioned anywhere
I hope the day will come that the DE is just a distrobox container or so and you can move back and forth as you wish. No SDDM or GDM and stuff is separated from the distro
I tried zoplooie Linux, but I didn't like the orange titlebars, so I had to uninstall it.
I’m sad that tumbleweed wasn’t placed as „great“, what exactly is the reasoning behind that?
The ranking is based on his use case. He does media production and uses tuxedo laptops. My guess is, he just took a different path and never got deeper into Suse.
I fear so as well.. But he should, in my opinion 😂 OpenSuse TW is awesome
Does linking work? @thelinuxexperiment@tilvids.com
Linking did not work but I know him, I look nearly all his videos on YouTube (🫣) I suspect that he didn’t had time to run TW over longer time periods and thus don’t know (or better said he had not time to verify) how stable this rolling distro is. And thus can’t recommend it to everyone since rolling distro normally tend to unstableness if run by non-experience users. For me that bit of info was missing in the video
I use F Prime because my use case is that I’m the Perseverance Rover and the only computer they gave me is this toy helicopter. It’s fine. Nothing flashy but it’s stable and runs on Arm processors.
Thank you for your service little rover. 🫡
I was going to applaud you explicitly saying it was for your use case, then I noticed the description is a bunch of merch shilling.
Well, I mean, he has to buy food and stuff
You're right, he did a pretty bad job at describing his use case - or, he didn't do that job at all - or, he forgot to cut it in but you could guess from all his other videos and what he speaks about is that of an "average gamer end user who wants to be up to date"
I usually don't read descriptions of videos.
I have also no idea what's wrong with his merch stuff. You know, tracking user behavior and placing ads is bad behavior.
You can place a huge banner of Porsche into the corner of your video if that pays the bills.
A guy trying to run a single-person business promoting and talking about Linux/FOSS puts merch in his description and that's something you find really objectionable?
I mean, I get it, in an ideal world it wouldn't be there, but the guy needs to eat. He needs a roof over his head. Etc. I'm guessing you have a job that you're also paid for, or if you don't, you're provided for by people who do?
We don't live in a star trek world with free housing, and where all our basic needs are provided by replicators. He needs money or he will die.
Nobody's forcing you to click the links and buy shit.
E: I literally had to click "show more" in the description to get to his merch, and he never even mentions it on the channel. Idk guy I think you're being unreasonable. It's not pushed onto you at all.
Looking in Lemmy the advertisements are the very first thing I see, and all I see. Im not against a guy feeding himself, but you can't hold it against me if I don't click on something because I am bombarded with a literal wall of advertisements without anything else.
You said merch. The merch is near the bottom.
It's never really clear from this video what exactly is his use case though.
he mentions DaVinci Resolve as the big reason he can't rate/use Asahi
And the title and description don't mention his use case anywhere.
Fedora, then Debian and then the rest? 😏
Debian was placed at average, he told „the Desktop is outdated“ I believe.
That's hilarious. Lazy and hilarious!
I mean... It's true though. He explained he usually used newer hardware and he doesn't want ancient packages, but goes on to say it's not as bad as it used to be because you can at least have up-to-date apps by using flatpaks.
It's a completely reasonable take. Not everybody wants packages/DEs on their system that are often *years* behind.
IIRC, Debian only just progressed beyond Gnome 3.38, Plasma 5.20, kernel 5.10, etc. that is old AF.
You can add repositories though?
Void Linux is S tier
