heres the thing: as a decade+ software dev, I never want to even think about my distro.

I just want Linux terminal style commands, and Linux style ssh shit to just work in the most middle of the road way as possible. I'm trying to get a job done, not build a personality.

Exactly. That's why i use Mint. I don't want to think about my operating system, I want to get stuff done.

[-] Kushia@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago

This is me too and why I no longer use Arch btw.

[-] Zikeji@programming.dev 7 points 1 year ago

I used Arch for AUR, but with flatpak getting more popular these last few years even the more niche stuff I had to rely on AUR for got a flatpak. So I've been trying out immutable distros like Fedora Kinoite.

@Zikeji @Kushia immutable distro like a Fedorraaaa with flatpak...

This is why I got a MacBook (unpopular opinion here)

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

I only ever have Mac stuff from employers, but it is nice hardware and linux-like enough for me to be happy.

Probably also helps Mac that every windows machines provided by an employer is some random HP buttbook that looks and preforms like it could be from 2021 or 2012, who knows

Macs are not really what I think of when reading "middle of the road linux"

[-] geophysicist@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago

I interpreted "middle of the road" as doing nothing special, just normal tasks done a normal way and therefore hoping everything just works so you can focus on work

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
