Hello fellow linuxers
I am kinda confused as to why certain Linux distros are mentioned in in every others post while others seems to get litten attention or are being bashed at worst. People advertise for Mint because it’s so easy to use, while I personally miss it’s benefits over Ubuntu.
Personally I used KDE Neo for some time and switched to Fedora 42 a few weeks ago. It has all the same tools as basically every other distros. What is missed is not necessary or available. I can also seamlessly manage my proxmox server through ssh and fish and take up minor programming tasks on python or arduino.
Am I missing something important, or just seeing a loud minority with very specific requir?
That’s why we call them flavors. People like certain flavors. It doesn’t mean the nutrition is any different or that you need to always use only whatever flavor is somebody else’s favourite. The lovely thing about Linux is the freedom to choose and to try different things to find what works best for you personally. There’s no organization trying to shove certain tools and principles down your throat for profit. It’s literally just personal preferences and they’re all equally valid choices. We try to make recommendations on things that might be easier to grasp or might suit a person’s situation better but really they’re all just flavors and they’re all good for the people who like those flavors.
