I don't think Temple OS is linux though

Herecy!
- It’s not Linux, it’s something entirely unique.
  
  TempleOS is a 64-bit, non-preemptive multi-tasking,[8] multi-cored, public domain, open source, ring-0-only, single address space, non-networked, PC operating system for recreational programming.[9] The OS runs 8-bit ASCII with graphics in source code and has a 2D and 3D graphics library, which run at 640x480 VGA with 16 colors.[5] Like most modern operating systems, it has keyboard and mouse support. It supports ISO 9660, FAT32 and RedSea file systems (the latter created by Davis) with support for file compression.[10] According to Davis, many of these specifications—such as the 640x480 resolution, 16-color display and single audio voice—were instructed to him by God. He explained that the limited resolution was to make it easier for children to draw illustrations for God.[1]
  
  When he was alive, he would be frequently banned from forums for getting into crazy arguments about esoteric code things. Also the racial slurs. A complicated but beautiful human being.

Linux swinger parties: On the way in you drop a thumb drive loaded with a distro installer in a fishbowl, then spend 30 minutes drinking energy drinks and dunking on MS, then grab a random thumb drive on your way out. That's your new daily driver.

You know somebody's putting barebones LFS on one of those drives.
Sounds like malware

But templeos isn't Linux...

Letting Lemmy choose Hannah Montana Linux for you.

God chose TempleOS but you have all forsaken him.

You clearly forgot Hannah Montana Linux and Moebuntu

I use Arch btw

I choose exclusively based on mascot and I don't know any distributions with mascots other than opensuse so I use opensuse

i think the gentoo pacman looking guy is cool

I chose Endeavor because I like its wallpapers.

(And I am too scared of installing Arch)

My one borked Linux install came from what I'm guessing was a mem leak in Endeavour (Firefox related or otherwise I'll never know) stopping up an update/upgrade and not finishing all the post install scripts before rebooting. You'll be fine, but Endeavour is close enough and does look good out of the box :⁠-⁠)

I dislike Arch btw

Learning more about Linux, I smile when people review distros on YouTube based on the desktop environment

Like, I know you are reviewing « SuperFunOS » but really that’s just a fork of Ubuntu with Plasma…

« I give it negative points because there is no office suite included » Dude… really? …

(Dammit… I’m slowly becoming an elitist 😨 )

Why has nobody mentioned package managers? I can't be the only one who cares about that...

Some guy commented about it and got corrected for saying that yay was a package manager. lol
- I mean, I use it in place of pacman.
  
  Since it's a wrapper, it can do what pacman does and more

I choose my distro based on if KDE will crash or not.

So far on my hardware only NixOS has not got that issue out of the box.

Have you had issues setting hotkeys in KDE? I'm using NixOS on my laptop and for some reason the shortcuts I add all reset on logouts/shutdowns
- Thats weird, I never had any problems with hotkeys bc nixos does not manage that. Did you setup inpermanence on your .config folder?

i chose my first linux distro based on difficulty (gentoo). needless to say it took me two weeks to get my computer to boot up and load i3 without problems.

Two questions: are you still on Gentoo, and have you tried LFS?
- i gave up on gentoo when the updates started making my laptop so hot that i had to point my bedroom fan at it in college. i was thinking of doing LFS but by that point gentoo was turning into such a headache and i wanted something simpler. i switched to arch afterwards, but now i mainly just use macos and let tim handle all that stuff for me. although i’m tempted to try arch again when im done with grad school and have more time

Whats a wallpaper? I thought we were supposed to use linux CLI only.

Fedora
Arch
Tumbleweed
Debian
NixOs

Only one of those OP. The oldest one in the list. When any of those other distros bring something new and beneficial to the mix I might consider them.

Me in the past 2 years: choosing a Linux distro based on whether it's nixos

I choose by which distro is most suited to make me suffer

Arch, Gentoo or LFS?
- Arch, trying Nix

I have OpenSuse Tumbleweed, Arch, and some version of Ubuntu. I'll probably replace Ubuntu with Tumbleweed eventually.

The only one worthy of cool logo

I like to pick based off the name of the command I use to evoke the package manager. Currently, I'm enjoying using yay but I've been thinking about emerge quite a bit

Edited for pedantic specificity

Neither of those are package managers. That'd be Pacman and Portage.

Currently getting annoyed with my Manjaro install because, after reinstalling due to a dead hard drive, nothing seems to quite work right (and I can't get Skynet installed). Went to Distrowatch and hit random

Raspberry Digital Signage is an operating system designed for digital signage installations on the Raspberry Pi: it displays a full-screen browser view restricted to a specified resource. It shows web pages from an Internet, local area network or internal (SD-card contained) sources; there is no way to escape this view but rebooting the machine.

Um... maybe that's not my new daily driver

I had a small store with one of these in the window and for what it does it's very good
- Oh I'm sure it's great for what it does!

Tuxedo OS, it came with the laptop and I'm too lazy to put something else on it. There's also a RPi somewhere in the basement running Arch.

I know this is a side topic, but is it just me or Fedora linux used to have stunning default wallpapers but they are gradually getting worse?

Aren't those just Gnome defaults?
- No, Fedora makes their own (though they also include GNOME defaults at least in Workstation)
I like them
It has. I wanna say around f32ish. I forget what they said about the design change choices.
- imo f34 and 36 have good wallpapers. 41 on the other hand...

Screw you guys, immutable fedora. Currently, bazzite, but I can, and have, change on a whim.

By this list, I like endeavor(it's wallpapers go hard as shit), alpine, centos(watch dogs!!1!), and "Athena OS"(distrowatch random)

Well yes, i choose Debian 12 for the background

I do roman style lots

Guilty. I chose Ubuntu for years due to them using muse as an artist on their mediaplayer
