    Shame on all of you for not knowing Hanna Montana Linux is the best possible OS ever.

    I thought that it's a fact everyone using Linux just instinctively knew.

    Never ask a woman her age.

    A man the length of his penis.

    And Someone who posts memes like this how long they had to dig to get to this ancient stereotype.

    Hey can y'all help me out? I wanna start switching over, but I need a beginner friendly distro that can work well with my 2070 super for gaming. I need something simple to set up or I'll get ADHD paralysis and never do it.

    I'd also love if it worked well with my Valve Index, but if that still has a lot of issues across the board I may still have to dual boot :c

    [–] GiveOver@feddit.uk 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

    Mint. It started as the beginner friendly distro and it's becoming the "main" distro as of late.

    [–] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    Given they have an Nvidia and want stuff like the Valve Index to work (so in the best case to have all those super new drivers, libraries installed and stuff) it should be a distro that comes with a lot preconfigured, like the Nvidia driver.

    I've heard a lot of good things about Bazzite in this regard.

    It depends on who’s asking. But if it’s someone who is curious about Linux, it’s always Mint.

    [–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    If someone is new, show them DEs and recommend based on that

    I think that can come later. I think decision paralysis would be a problem.

    We need a healthy mashup OS between TinyCore, KolibriOS, ReactOS, and TempleOS, then I'll be happy.

    [–] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 50 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    I thought you said healthy.

    Your a Linux user?

    What's the best distribution of Windows?

    [–] Knoxvomica@lemmy.ca 19 points 2 days ago

    Windows 2000 was the best (and last good) version.

    I don't use arch btw

    [–] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

    I don't have time to mess around with Arch or customizing things. I tried a couple live boots and went with Mint. Spent 2 hours picking a theme, wallpaper, and menu icon. Boom, done.

    [–] nichtsowichtig@feddit.org 11 points 1 day ago (3 children)

    oh god I'd be so so happy if someone asked me that! Whenever I say i use Linux people look at me funny 😭

    [–] SpongyAneurism@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    Yeah man. The amount of times I have to shoehorn into the conversation, that I'm using Arch btw. is tiring.

    Would be so much easier, if they just asked.

    [–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)
    [–] SpongyAneurism@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    Yes, ackshually.

    Thanks for asking.

    [–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

    Talking about it, which arch flavour is "btw"? /s

    Holy shit I lost it after Material UwU. The system requirements and FAQ (including a famous Torvalds quote) were excellent highlights as well.

    Toss up between Slackware, Gentoo or Linux From Scratch. Learn the hard way.

    Why is Tux flipped, is this some sort of subliminal message? Is BigTech behind of this meme?

    [–] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 2 days ago

    Oh, oups. That's a remnance from a meme I made a few minutes earlier. However now Tux is looking towards the text, therefore this was all planned.

    [–] the_q@lemmy.zip 17 points 2 days ago (5 children)

    Pfft Linux is too mainstream... I run BeOS and OS/2 Warp.

    I loved BeOS. It was great.

    The best distribution is always the one you currently use. All others are trash.

    it is OBJECTIVELY linux mint. Why? Because.

    this comment was written on June 2025. So as of this day Mint is fabulous. And if I were to save a single distro from a burning building of all the popular distros, i would grab mint twice.

    I know I know, there are many good distros, even texhnically better ones. But having used Mint as a secondary dual boot to my primary Windows, I have felt that Mint has been least annoying and actually worth retaining and updating and maintaining.

    [–] camelbeard@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

    Mint is great I use it on my desktop and laptop and have been for years (I switched when Ubuntu has that unity desktop period). For Linux it's the most "it just works" distro for me. My second choice would be manjaro, but mint also has the advantage that there is so much help for Ubuntu you can find online, that usually also works for mint.

    You don't need to ask, because they will tell you their thoughts regardless.

    Just switched to NixOS recently, after years on LMDE.
