Alt text: A line plot with 2 axis (confidence vs competence) referencing the Dunning-Kruger effect with various distro logos placed at different points on the line. Starts with mint/ubuntu near (0,0) and progressing through multiple distros to end up with opensuse/fedora at what it calls “the plateau of sustainability”
I think I'm at the top of mount stupid, because I'm certainly not competent.
I started with Linux Mint and daily drove that for a while. Really liked it too. Then I noticed that screen sharing ssssuuucked when playing games, and since Mint's Wayland didn't want to work on my machine, I decided to jump ship.
I'm currently on Nobara (Glorious Eggroll's Fedora flavor) and.. it's just pretty easy to work with.
Or maybe I'm at the know nothing stage, along with PopOS
I skipped that whole initial peak: started on Ubuntu 20 years ago, moved to kubuntu after unity and moved to tumbleweed 6 months ago.
Somewhere just past the "trauma induced return to ubuntu"
God damn that chart is accurate though.
I'm at the stage where I can't decide whether the Debian logo reminds me more of the Sega Dreamcast or Lawry's seasoned salt.
Why are all my Linux distros on the first parts of the line?????
Also, I love openSUSE. But then I started playing around and installing other distros to test them and can't get openSUSE to install. No matter how I try to install it, soon as I select to install, it gives me some out of memory error followed by a kernel crash. I'm just a registry hive with big dreams of a better OS!
Uses Fedora

I went from Debian to Mint
although…
… now I'm thinking about switching to NixOS and it's not even there.
But then again, I feel like my confidence is lower than my competence, and I really like things that require less tinkering nowadays
I've gone backwards. When I had nothing but time, I did fedora bleeding edge. Moved to ubuntu for almost 10+ years. Moved to Linux Mint last year and debating moving back to Ubuntu.
Arch had been rock solid for me since 2012...
I feel like Arch can accompany you throughout the graph if you want.
i followed it until kali and then i fell into the pit of despair wich is were i am now because i learnded gentoo
Mint on my desktop and Pop on my laptop...so that part seems accurate for me.
Started at mount stupid, went to know nothing and am now stuck on valley of dispair. Also actually bricked my MB.
ironically started on fedora and debian like 20 years ago (which i hate is 2006ish instead of 1976 T_T); mostly for servers.
now i'm on mint in my first foray into using it full time as a desktop so i know most of the cli and backend stuff and it's just getting used to the ui and desktop parts.
I'm on garuda so i guess at the start on that. Already been through the valley of despair though, went back to windows and it sucked so i went right back on garuda, which has been working since.
I went from POPos to manjaro to Garuda, then went to fedora and then went to aurora but rebased to bazziteDX so for me this is REALLY accurate except for the dip
