Alt text: A line plot with 2 axis (confidence vs competence) referencing the Dunning-Kruger effect with various distro logos placed at different points on the line. Starts with mint/ubuntu near (0,0) and progressing through multiple distros to end up with opensuse/fedora at what it calls βthe plateau of sustainabilityβ
Mint is my sustainable pleateau. I've used Kali, Zorin, Haiku, Plan 9, and ReactOS. I'm mostly satisfied with what Mint gives me, and what it doesn't. I know people don't always approve of this, but I genuinely used to like Windows. And Mint, generally, works like Windows back when it was good.
Yeah it's pretty obvious in this sub who is a hobbyist and who actually deploys or develops on Linux. Yeah I've distrohopped and built from scratch and all that great stuff, but at the end of the day it's hard to beat "noob" distros for initial deployability. Then you can obviously customize whatever you want from there.
Started with Ubuntu, happy where I'm at ππ»
Just wanna run an OS that works and doesnβt require reading documentation because I have a life and a real job
I've been working with Linux for the better part of 20 years at this point. Ubuntu is perfectly fine my time is too valuable to spend numerous hours fucking around getting shit to work properly. If that makes me an idiot then I'm happily an idiot.
I get that many people have issues with snap, SystemD or whatever else they want to throw out. I don't give a shit. You're whinging into the wind over nothing burgers.
Swap Debian with Fedora and we're solid. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
Twelve years in, cloud engineer, have Mint on all my home machines cos i dont have to think about it. I like your chart but its dumb.
Yes, I fall everywhere on the knowledge spectrum. It just depends on which niche area I'm fixating on that day.
Started at mount stupid, went to know nothing and am now stuck on valley of dispair. Also actually bricked my MB.
I'm running Kinonite and Fedora Cinnamon spin on my two machines. So I must be at 'enlightenment'.
Honestly, I'm tired Boss-- so tired. After years and years of fooling around with various Distros, I no longer want to work hard to make my computer work. I like the auto-update feature of Kinonite. Life is short and I ain't got that much of it left to waste on Arch.......
Uses Fedora

For me it was Mandrake -> Debian -> Mint -> MX -> Debian
So nothing like that graph.
Nice corporate ad...
I would rather "despair" with a community based distro than using capitalistware were that graph true, however my Arch machine works perfectly fine and have no need to do so. On the other hand corporate distros...
So apparently I go from "knowing nothing" to "guru" and back daily.
Once you know Debian you know the Truth. All other distros are heresy and must be punished.
Praise be to Debian.
Our distro, who art in RAM. Debian be thy name. Thy processes come. Thy will be done, on local as it is in the cloud. Give us this day our daily resources, and forgive us our distro hopping, as we forgive those who distro hop against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from software patents and copyrights. For thine is the processes of power and glory, for ever and ever, Amen.
"trauma induced return to Ubuntu" π it was my wifi not working that did it, and I'm just so used to Ubuntu from years of using it at work...
This is pure rage bait.
As a Qubes user, do I span the entire graph?
You're on the z axis
Where does sadistic curiosity about Slackware fit on this graph after daily driving OpenSuSE Tumbleweed?
I still use Kubuntu, btw.
I went from Debian to Mint
althoughβ¦
β¦ now I'm thinking about switching to NixOS and it's not even there.
But then again, I feel like my confidence is lower than my competence, and I really like things that require less tinkering nowadays
