Both. desktop is arch based, server is Debian.
You slut, you!
Are you waiting for an invitation?
Oooh yeah, baby, let’s debug the networking stack together!
Don’t be silly,
chmod o-wyour$WILLY!Phew! For a split second I misred that as
chmod o+w.
That’s all it takes to be a distro slut!?
What the heck am I then?

But like with glasses or something.

A container slut.

A container slut.
???
But… there are zero containers on any of my systems.
Actually, looking at that list again, I see I’ve neglected upgrading on that computer for longer than I realised… chimaera as testing? *checks site*, yeah that’s “Chimaera 4.0 has moved to oldoldstable status.”. That’s like 4 versions old. XD
Yep. “Depends on the use case” is a solid answer.
🥵 yeah talk dirty to me.
I run apt upgrade before apt update.
My iptables INPUT chain default policy is set to ACCEPT.
This is the way! Everything is based on Arch, Debian or Fedora anyway so you might as well stick to what is well known and supported.
angry Gentoo and NixOS noises
well known and supported 🤪
From my understanding NixOS and Gentoo is “support it yourself”. I haven’t tried either of them so I could be completely wrong about that.
It’s pretty much the same thing as everywhere, you have a bunch of lovely people who package and test things, nothing too weird. What you are describing is LFS.
How is Nix with software support these days?
Nothing else even comes close, except the AUR, but even that not really:
Interesting graphs.
Alas, the metric’s a mite confounded by the different ways distros split up packages. So it skews e.g. the Debians up, and the voidlinuxen down.
… I’m guessing that still wouldn’t be enough to put a dent in AUR and nixpkg 's towering package counts though.
That is very surprising, last I heard it had to catch up with having popular applications. Is this due to how package dependencies differ on Nix vs what people think of traditionally as packages?
Not really. (When was last time?)
The reason is more that the config language that you have to learn if you want to use NixOS is the exact same you use to package applications for NixOS.
So any user is also just a tiny, non-intimidating step away from being a contributor and package maintainer.
I know for myself, I never packaged for the AUR - just seemed way to intimidating and a lot of new stuff to figure out - but I maintain a bunch of packages and modules in nixpkgs, and they’re all stuff that was “huh, this is cool but not packaged yet; alright, I’ll package it in my private config; oh that was easy, let’s upstream it”.
Couldn’t even tell you tbh.
Well that’s pretty cool. I always liked the idea of being mega reproducible. I might try it on my home server instead of Debian.
Slackware users in shambles!
My wife uses Debian, but I love her anyway. ❤️
Do you call her Debbie Anne?
Fun fact that not a lot of people seem to know: the name is a portmanteau of “Deborah” and “Ian”. The names of the Creator and his then wife
Debbie Anne, Debbie Anne
Much to cool for Windows pain
Debbie Anne she’s like one in a mill-
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanDeb Deb Deb, Deb Debbie Anne!
Debian in the kitchen and Arch in the bedroom
Debian in the kitchen
You only buy pre-made food?
That’s where Gentoo belongs, or LFS if you don’t like following recipes.I buy ingredients, not seeds and animals.
Only buy traditional food with a best before date at least 3 years in the future.
In bedroom a new bed every other day with a lot of bed bugs.
don’t kink share
Reverse UNO
NixOS* but yes
She’s just baffled that anyone who knows those two distributions could be so dense as to whittle down the vast infinite sea of possible options to just two incredibly boring ones. She would have cried next if he hadn’t done it.
Also, OpenSUSE.
well the vast majority of those are just arch and debian with extra steps, with the occasional fedora based or independent distro
Yep. Should be “Windows or Linux?”
I know part of the joke is that it’s not this comparison--that asking “arch or debian” also rules out Windows--but it really is the important dividing line.
“Hammer to penis or steak” is less interesting than “Steak or lobster”
Anyways the answer is Steak, and a different steak if its for a server, and lobster (derogatory) if its for an important server
I use the only correct option. TempleOS. /j
She’s a Hannah Montana girl.
So… Debian then? Hannah Montana Linux has historically been a kubuntu reskin
There’s a Hannah Montana Linux? Wild.
There was a while ago and then it was recently revived

There’s even a Justin Bieber Linux! JBL or gtfo
“Arch or Debian?”
“TempleOS, you heathen!”
And then I pushed him over
~And then he kissed me~
What happens when a zealot meets a more zealous zealot
“Zealot” is relative to where you currently are. Mint -> Debian -> Arch -> FreeBSD -> OpenBSD -> Plan 9 -> TempleOS
Then straight back to Mint! Full circle, bell curve meme style.
That’s actually what I’ve seen a lot! After a few years of tinkering with your system, the idea of something stable and polished is very appealing, so you can focus on getting things done.
Linus would be out… He uses Fedora
He’s also married.
Of course he is. No woman can resist a guy who uses Fedora
She went for him in late 1993:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus_Torvalds
Linus Torvalds is married to Tove Torvalds (née Monni), a six-time Finnish national karate champion, whom he met in late 1993. He was running introductory computer laboratory exercises for students and instructed the course attendees to send him an e-mail as a test, to which Tove responded with an e-mail asking for a date.
Fedora won’t have been around.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fedora_Linux
Fedora Linux[10] is a Linux distribution developed by the Fedora Project. It was originally developed in 2003 as a continuation of the Red Hat Linux project.
It looks like there were Linux distributions at the time, but they were very early:
Early distributions included:
-
Torvalds’ “Boot-Root” images, from v0.95a onwards “Root” was maintained by Jim Winstead Jr., the aforementioned disk image pair with the kernel and the absolute minimal tools to get started (0.10: 4 November 1991)[12][13][14][15]
-
MCC Interim Linux (3 March 1992)[16]
-
TAMU Linux, based on MCC with simpler installation and X11 (14 July 1992)[17]
-
Softlanding Linux System (SLS) which included the X Window System and was the most comprehensive distribution for a short time (15 August 1992)[18]
-
H.J. Lu’s “bootable rootdisks” (23 September 1992),[19][20] and “Linux Base System” (5 October 1992)[21][22]
-
Yggdrasil Linux/GNU/X, a commercial distribution (alpha: 8 December 1992)
-
The two oldest, still active distribution projects started in 1993. The SLS distribution was not well maintained, so in July 1993 a new SLS-based distribution, Slackware, was released by Patrick Volkerding.[23] Also dissatisfied with SLS, Ian Murdock set to create a free distribution by founding Debian in August 1993, with first public BETA released in January 1994 and first stable version in June 1996.[24][25]
I think that there are two possible takeaways from this:
-
Not clear what distro was used — if any — but if it was, it won’t have been a presently existing one. It’s possible that he was just rolling his own setup, not using a distro at all.
-
Linus’s date with Tove derived from an email exchange. What ninja chicks look for in a guy is possibly an email client, not a Linux distribution at all. It sounds like Linus was probably using Pine at the time (though someone could go dig up mail headers from old emails to check).
-
M’linux
Debian, of course. My computer is a tool, not a hobby.
Plus, I like apt. It’s nice.
“Debian or Arch?”
spoiler
RPMs are better than DEBs
I’m fine with .ebuild and .xbps, thnx.
Yeah I get some good RPMs on my 2001 Honda Civic.
Elaborate.
Get out you corporate sellout!
I would answer debian, but I want her to say arch.
I want my girlfriend to be smarter than me ok!?
Whenever I hear Debian, I always imagine a newb OS called Nubian and damn that’d slap as a name.
All text would be in Papyrus font.
“Arch or Debian”
“Slackware”
“Marry me”
“Ubuntu.”
“NEXT!!!”
Slack was my first nix exposure professionally, talk about the deep end
She uses Gentoo.
Still pass. S&M just isn’t my thing.
Plus, 6 months before ready to orgasm.
Luckily the USE flags narrowly define consent.
Hence why so many of us are gay for each other.
I’m all for touching as long as we don’t sudo
fuck. um, what if i sudo while you rm rf
I thought it was because we’re all femboys and trans catgirls.
Nah I’m just a boring old homo
Her: it depends on who’s asking and their usecase
- Pls marry me (pls)
