Can anyone suggest a distro that's even remotely based?
The problem is Linus Fucking Sebastian sticking his nose into Debian.
Then throw your PC away and live in a forest shack you fucking spastic. Linus didn't stick his nose into Debian, apt devs just added a failsafe so that complete retards like Linus won't fuck their OS up because someone fucked up the dependency chain because Linux devs live in a fucking bubble.
And there is no "based" distro, who the fuck are you even trying to kid? Given you're throwing this buzzword around, lemme ruin your love for Linux. Any distro you run will have components coded by troons. Linux kernel itself adapted Contributor Covenant CoC which is a troon's manifesto. Linux is pozzed to the core and if that's the single quality you care about in your software then throw your computer away because there is no "based" OS. Unless you want to daily drive TempleOS, in which case you're a bigger spastic than one can imagine.
There is no "based" OS. Windows is pozzed, macOS is pozzed, Linux is pozzed. If you're this much of a faggot that your OS HAS to perfectly align with your political ideas then cease to use technology altogether because that won't fucking happen.
Anyway.
Every single Linux distro is just an autistic slapfight of which package manager, desktop environment, fucking window server, and which init system to include in their super special flavor of the Linux soup. There is no good Linux distro, all of them are equally shit because the entire issue is in the fact that Linux distros and components are like this xkcd comic:
A good example is the X11 vs Wayland slapfight. You have two competing standards for rendering windows, which is something that should be as fucking standardized as possible if you want your shit to gain wide adaptation. Or better yet, the fucking package managers. A massive sea of unstandardized bullshit that's incompatible with each other because fuck you I know better so I'm making my own.
And my favorite image representing the entire issue with Linux:
In FOSS projects, there is no leadership, there is no guidance, there is no standardization, so it's all stuck in this autistic circle that never goes anywhere.
In corporate projects, such as Windows or macOS, there is a guidance of how the project should be developed and there is standardization of how the project should work.
This is the key issue with Linux. Linux devs refuse to acknowledge that they
need to have everything standardized and streamlined so that everything is nice and smooth, and they simultaneously seethe that Windows still dominates the desktop market. But it's not Microsoft's fault, it's Linux dev's fault for failing to understand how a successful project should be made. So Linux remains this niche hobby rather than a real competitor to Windows.
tl;dr: There is no "best" Linux distro because they're all equally shit, it's a matter of choosing your poison and which specific issues you want to deal with.
There is also no best OS, there are only OS' that suite one's needs for the software suite they need to run, and each option has it's flaws one has to compensate for.
Personally, I remain on Windows, as the software suite that I use is Windows based, and I can tard wrangle Windows to my liking easier and faster than I can Linux. I wish that Linux would be a viable alternative for me, but as it stands right now it simply isn't and won't be for decades to come.
