If all the seemingly pointless discussions about which distro is better comes from attachment to a spesific distro and if a distro is just a way to interract with linux than all the discussion about witch distro is better etc. fundementally comes from a a place of love and appreciation for Linux as an OS.

(I use HannahMontanaLinux btw)

    A distro isn’t just a way to interact with the Linux operating system. It’s a collection of tools that helps you do it. Some tools are just sharper that others. The community just likes debating about this important nuance. It’s not that complicated.

    My tools of choice come from the famous blue logo distro.

      Blue logo distro

      Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?

      (Fedora, Arch, Kubuntu, Zorin, ElementaryOS, ArcoLinux and surely many more I’m forgetting)

      Sure except every district has the same tools. I distribute is more of a toolbox then a tool.

    Always reminds me of the console wars… people attach their whole identity to all kinds of things nowadays and fight for it like it was a religion. Did not see much good come out of such threads yet.

    After a while you’ll realise that it’s just healthy competition, not wars.

    I use a bunch of distros, just like I have a lot of different tools in my toolbox. Each serves a slightly different function.

    Keep in mind that the motto is “World domination,” not “Internal quarrelling”.

    I have learned absolutely nothing about the strengths and weaknesses of each distro, just learned which ones are difficult to install.

      Ease and difficulty of installation are strengths and weaknesses, don’t sell yourself short.

    I haven’t minded the tongue-in-cheek jokes about distros since forever, but people who take it way too seriously, and don’t see that each distro has its benefits and drawbacks are kinda annoying.
