Are you team Shiny Linux or team Stable Linux

[Betonhaus]

I guess to summarize Shiny Linux would have stuff like Wayland while Stable Linux would be like Linux Mint

 

[Anti Snigger]

Love me Kubuntu, simple 'as

 

[Absolutego]

Give me stable, every day, and I swear if I have to open some stupid widget to configure your app instead of having a centralized config file I can call from terminal I am uninstalling your shit.
If I can't run your shit from vim if I have to then it's not Linux.

Somewhere in the middle, but erring on the side of stable. I use TuxedoOS as my daily driver, which has the option for both X11 and Wayland (I'm sticking with X11) and Sparky Linux (basically Debian Stable) on the Raspberry Pi that I use as a learning tool. I know from using Arch ~10 years ago that running "pacman -Syu" can lead to some learning experiences, but I don't have time for that these days and I'm trying to learn how to manage websites on an nginx server during downtime, not how to fix the windowing system when I have other work to do.

Btw I use arch

 

[Neo-Nazi Rich Evans]

i use manjaro so i guess it is stable, but it is arch based so it leans towards shiny, i guess. i honestly have no idea, i jsut know it works fine for me for years and isnt based on nigger ubuntu.

Btw I use arch

I just do whatever the pinned post on AUR tells me and it definitely always works 100% of the time.

 

[Grub]

I use KDE neon so I guess shiny up front and stable in the back.

Yeah and if something from the AUR breaks usually recompiling it fixes it especially after an update.

 

[seri0us]

Both. I'm running X11 on Arch Linux and only update once a month.

 

[herefortheactualthreads]

i will use Linux Mint after windows 10 is kill and then see where it leads me.

 

[TORtlEMUStRaNSUS]

I prefer linux stable but I can't deny the annoyance of outdated packages.
I use Mint Edge and added repos for the latest nvidia drivers. if you aren't gaming then stable is preferrable.

 

[Demonslayer1776]

Shiny for desktop and stable for servers. It's the best of both worlds because I can experiment and fuck around as much as I want with my client environment and there's no real risk of it damaging important data. It's all safe on the stable server just in case. I have minimal issues even on a less stable setup, but the added insurance is nice, and it's an approach that is very flexible for many use cases.

 

[hog cranking frog]

Stable, KDE Neon (with a killer retro theme), latest mesa drivers, Steam.

Separate partitions for /home and shit, distro hop all you like, wipe and restore 4 times a week no worries.

 

[Bloodfeast Island Man]

Is Debian not cool anymore?

 

[Tablet County]

I'm sorry, I don't use linux. I'm not a sex offender.

 

[Taser Confetti]

OpenSuSE MicroOS (Kalpa)

I got tired of tinkering with shit and want stuff to work out of the box.

 

[Aljam]

I prefer the shiny bells and whistles.
I use arch btw

 

[and and and and]

I thought this was a pokemon thread

Raw Debian is the gold standard but every other derivative of it integrated systemD or some other niche system config manager that ruins its beauty.
