@mid_kid@fosstodon.org Thank you. This is what I would've liked to have when I started using Linux. I had to go through a ton of distro hopping before finding a productive distro to do serious work. Which is also why this is a framework and recommendation - not a review. Cos different people uses Linux for different usecases. My recommendations try to cover most of the usecases. Not all. :)

@bloor While we are at it, let's also get to the bottom of gif vs jif as well??!!

@mid_kid@fosstodon.org @ethorsoe@sauna.social @stuartl@mastodon.longlandclan.id.au @mgorny@social.treehouse.systems I'd like to think that I've attempted to be reasonable. Am curious to know what you think about https://www.unsungnovelty.org/posts/01/2024/a-linux-distro-recommendation-framework-and-my-picks-for-2024/

@mid_kid@fosstodon.org Thanks for reading! :) One clarification. I didn't mean that Independent distros will last longer from the project's POV. But user's installation POV. Independent distros wont get effected from external decisions like point releases. If Ubuntu pushes something, Linux Mint will not have voice all the time. As for rolling releases, there r no other mainstream OS where using latest stable software is considered bad. MacOS, iOS, Android or Windows. It creates insecure, buggy experience.

@quinn@social.circl.lu I have been trying to find the original meme of this tweet for a long time. The search still continues. :(
