    That's BSD. It's better for you, but most people don't like it

    [–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

    I like the concept of BSD and would concede that it's probably the better Os but the thing Linux needs more than anything in Market share, or people to accurately use the damn thing if you prefer less business speak, and I think supporting FreeBSD would just fragment the small user base even further.

    I agree, Linux Mint has been well done.

    [–] owenfromcanada@lemmy.world 63 points 9 hours ago

    Mint isn't well done, it's full on congratulations

    So does that mean Windows is a hot dog made up of all the leftover bits like beef lips?

    [–] ikidd@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

    My wife, and that's the line she uses when she orders steak at a restaurant.

    [–] Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 hours ago

    Great taste in steak and in women my friend!

    Guess that means I should switch to Fedora.

    [–] OpenStars@piefed.social 3 points 9 hours ago (4 children)

    I guess Fedora is ideal for gaming? But otherwise, is there a reason to use it rather than starting with Ubuntu and just install your own cutting edge features as you choose your own upgrade cycle? (Just the fact that they are all bundled together I suppose?)

    [–] chunkystyles@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 hours ago

    Bazzite is built from Fedora and is phenomenal for gaming

    I'm ride-or-die Debian, but I switch to Fedora when I need a more recent package set.

    I do so to avoid Ubuntu/Snaps, which contains some closed proprietary bullshit, which I personally find to be a pain in the ass.

    [–] OpenStars@piefed.social 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

    That's a good point that we don't have to be locked into just one. Do you dual boot that? VM one inside another? Or probably you mean on different hardware?

    [–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 1 points 5 hours ago

    Yeah. Usually different hardware, sometimes just virtualization.

    Thanks to the open container initiative (OCI), I haven't been tempted to dual boot in a several years.

    [–] nesc@lemmy.cafe 7 points 8 hours ago

    Yes it's ideal for gaming, for that reason valve has chosen arch. 🙃 There are reasons one of them it's the desktop distro as far as developers go. Not only gnome, but kde as well. Fedora is great.

    Tap for spoileralmost as good as arch

    [–] jerakor@startrek.website 9 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

    Debian tends to be a liiiiitle bit behind Fedora and because gaming on Linux is accelerating in popularity, being ahead can provide big gains in performance.

    Can you manually handle all of that? Sure. I mean I have Mint on my side desktop with a custom Kernel but I recognize that I am dropping a V8 into a Mini Van.

    [–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 3 points 8 hours ago

    I just spent yesterday fucking up an nVidia driver upgrade in Ubuntu for no appreciable improvement in transition freezing in the Dead Space remake.

    Veal: rewrite the source code in Rust without access to the code.
