MODERATORS
The distributions within the openSUSE project are, in my opinion, the most advanced and complete Linux distributions. They offer tools such as btrfs+snapper, openQA, Secure-boot, Firewall, Yast (Myrlyn+Agama), etc. as soon as the system is installed. No other Linux distribution offers all of this configured immediately after installing the system. In my opinion, the openSUSE project is at the highest level of Linux, offering solutions for most users, fixed distributions such as Leap, rolling distributions such as Tumbleweed, immutable distributions such as Kalpa, etc.
Preach!

Fedora is a chad, please
For real. It does everything I need it to.
So i've since moved to Arch (btw), but what's wrong with Manjaro? I never had an issue with it, but I have seen quite a few people dunking on it... just without any explanation.
I don't think there's anything particularly wrong with it. In my opinion, the only downside to Manjaro is when you activate the aur repository, as doing so can cause dependency conflicts because this repository is designed for Arch and not for Manjaro and its version timeline.
Maybe this is why I've been having issues with several applications after some random update months ago.
It was fine for years, but lately I've been having several app open really slowly, mainly appimages.
Isn't the whole point of appimages to not use system dependencies and instead bring all their dependencies in one neat file?
That's why I haven't been able to identify what's wrong. The get stuck usually when opening or when trying to save/open a file. So I'm guessing there's some dependency that is not working correctly.
Otherwise they run fine when not interacting with anything. I don't really know what's happening and at this point I think it may be easier to just have a clean install and start over
There are some very vocal people against it but I've never understood why. It makes no sense to put it in the same basket as Ubuntu.

MacOS is worlds better than Windows, it's not even close.
Kali Linux as Chad OS suggests this list is as much meme as truth so I wouldnβt worry about the rankings.
Hell, Mac OS is even a certified UNIX operating system, something that even Linux (or GNU+Linux) can't say.
It's still a non-FOSS OS which is the real reason it sucks, but it's a lot better than a lot of people seem to think. Whereas Windows just plain sucks on a usability level too, not just the licensing.
The UNIX certification is arbitrary and useless. Windows 11 could get it if they paid for it.
UNIX is irrelevant now anyway. Linux has taken its place, and every commercial UNIX (except for MacOS I guess) is at end of life or in maintenance mode now. They only still exist for a handful of applications that require decades of backwards compatibility.

I read a deep dive into the macos "certified UNIX" thing and it's a scam. I dont remember the details but the certification is obtained only through a set of testing exceptions. The macos used by people is not the macos that is Unix certified.
As a former macos user (2013-2024ish), macos has become IMO a very user hostile experience. It's not quite as bad as windows, but macos is not the "user friendly, it (mostly) just works and gets out of your way" os it used to be.
I'm full time Linux now and when I have to use macos or windows I cannot believe how user hostile they both are.
Linux is far from perfect, but at least I control my system/os.

I donβt understand the hate for MacOS or Ubuntu frankly. Windows was fine until they stopped making βfeaturesβ opt in. Fedora has been toying with adding AI, and my experiences with Arch have been subpar for my needs. Iβm kinda at the point in my life where I donβt care as long as the OS works. Theyβre all so similar at the end of the day, they help me do the websites, work tools and vidya gaems.
how is windows above macos lol
MacOS has no reason to exist.
If you are ok running corporate software just use windows with its huge array of software and compatibility with pretty much everything.
If you want to be cool and different and have problems with software and hardware compatibility run Linux.
MacOS is the Porsche Panamera of operating systems. People just have it because it matches their 911/iThing
MacOS does have a reason to exist. It helps people get rid of those pesky thousands of dollars over-bloating their bank account every 5 years when they are told their Mac is obsolete.
Appleβs chips on the other hand are very nice.

As a Microslop and Apple hater, macOS is the only real operating system. The rest are tinker toys and work-in-progress.
I don't use macOS, but I wish I could.

Meh. Granite is open source, and as long as they don't try to force integration with a third party service I'm down for local LLM integration. It's not all chatbots, and LLMs happen to be honestly pretty good at searching through eg man pages and pulling out relevant bits.

I hope Windows 11 becomes microsofts death (and ofc the fact that their previous ceo liked to fuck children)
At the very least a point to pivot back in the right direction. Like with win 8/8.1 to Win 10.
I think what will hurt them much more is the EU realizing the danger in dependence on American tech like Microsoft, and slowly replacing it with (open source) alternatives.
