  1. 1. What is your favourite?



Recommended Posts

I installed Solus Linux on New Years Eve.  Been pretty happy with it so far.  Boot times are simply faster, and overall liking the overall feel of it.    I am coming from 3 or so years in the Ubuntu variants so it takes getting used to the package manager (instead of apt-get or apt install, you have eopkg)  From what I have observed, it is much faster for installs than .deb based packages.

With the new year upon us, it's time to refresh the poll.

 

Let us know what you prefer to use.

Surprised to not see Manjaro on the list considering how popular it is.

Much like there is Ubuntu (any flavour), wouldn't Manjaro be Arch?

On the same token, why mention Mint or elementary, which is built off of Ubuntu?

 

Same idea, different base. 

 

 

 

 

Ubuntu gets my vote.

 

I have various Ubuntu Server LTS VM's running different things. In addition I have a couple of Nettop PC's running Ubuntu which just boot in to Kodi.

 

I like that Ubuntu generally just works, rather than me feeling like i'm working for Ubuntu. If i ever encounter an issue, usually someone else has before me so resolving the issue is not a problem.

I'm running stock Ubuntu but I'm not happy with it. Too many hardware issues like My triple display setup going wrong, external sound card not being detected or entire USB hubs. Not impressed. Is there another Distro I should try before going back to windows or will they all be basically the same? Oh and user switching is not a slick experience at all. :(

How new is your hardware? Something like Manjaro will be much more bleeding edge in comparison to Ubuntu.

Isn't that dependent on the kernel version? Does manjaro use more recent versions of the kernel?

Well, Manjaro is based of Arch, so you get the bleeding edge of software.

    • Formatting would be awesome if fully customised and then roll out the settings as a company wide standard.
    • I just want to know why the volume control feature in the browser version keeps appearing then disappearing, here today - gone tomorrow. Now it's gone again. Annoying as hell.
    • When you have only lies and blood libels to present, you've lost. And how hard is it for you to look up BBC and AP? You hate Jews, just admit it.
    • This article does not make sense and it’s very evident, the bug wasn’t confirmed to exist, because the application itself runs on editions of Windows which make it impossible to run Hyper-V VMs on, “Basically, Claude Desktop on Windows spins up a 1.8GB Hyper-V virtual machine if you use Claude Cowork or agent mode even once.”, suggests the bug is caused by something else otherwise it would only happen to users with the capability of running Hyper-V VMs and that’s only if Hyper-V was enabled which is by default not enabled. The true issue is that the author who reported the bug used the incorrect terminology, it’s actually a container, not a VM that is being started by the way. There were users on macOS reporting the same issue, Hyper-V, doesn’t exist on that platform obviously. Every single user who confirmed the problem in the last week was either using macOS making this issue impossible to be relevant to them, or was a comment talking about WSL, which the author indicated 3 months ago was disabled.
    • “To prevent hallucination issues and keep the database clean, the platform uses a multi-agent verification loop to check code quality.” - This absolutely isn’t happening. ”Before the massive rise of LLMs, which tanked its traffic by about 50% over the last couple of years, Stack Overflow was the go-to website for millions of programmers seeking coding solutions.” - It still is trusted, because the community of users, blocked other users from submitting false and misleading answers generated by AI agents that can be convinced something it generated is actually incorrect even if it’s actually correct. The company itself doesn’t know what it wants to be so it keeps trying and failing to introduce AI features to the platform. This effort will also fail, already submitted one successful poison pill, look forward to generating more.
