I agree, Linux Mint has been well done.
- Mint isn't well done, it's full on congratulations
  
  Jokes aside - I was planning to do a Linux build, does that mean I should skip Ubuntu and go Mint? I’m going to be using the build for media and gaming (emulation)
  Edit: I would like to thank you all for the responses, just goes to show how lovely the Linux community is! Will be trying Mint :)

Microsoft Windows
- Elementary OS
- ChromeOS

BSD:
- Actual Unix:
- Eat ze bugs/arachnids

NixOS is completely plant based
- I'm vegan btw
- And not prepared plant products, but raw, with dirt and bugs on it.
  Vegetables. It's vegetables from someone's garden.

Tofu Linux when? 😟
- That's BSD. It's better for you, but most people don't like it
  
  I like the concept of BSD and would concede that it's probably the better Os but the thing Linux needs more than anything in Market share, or people to accurately use the damn thing if you prefer less business speak, and I think supporting FreeBSD would just fragment the small user base even further.
- IRL this is bleached with grounded chicken. Not tofu

"If you want to build your own linux from scratch, you first have to invent the universe." - GNU/RMS
- UNIverse
  Universe's
  Not
  Iverse
  edit: reformatted on desktop for clarity
  
  I think you're talking about the GNUniverse?
- You give RMS too much credit when you paraphrase Sagan and attribute it to RMS. They're not nearly on the same level.
  
  Agree, yesterday me should learn his lesson

Mint is supposed to go with lamb, not beef. This whole infographic is suspect.

Give it to us raw and wriggling
- So, Slackware?

NixOS: a small factory with which to reproducibly grow your own meat.

Where does Debian fit
- Dry aged.
- Grass that sprouted close to lake with cleaned waste water two years after you have eaten it.
  
  Makes sense!
- Dry cured jerky
- The beef has been aged for 2 years and you actually forgot it existed

So does that mean Windows is a hot dog made up of all the leftover bits like beef lips?
- Primarily anuses (anii?), some of which still have feces on them.

Wtf

Anybody like there steak raw enough a good vet can still save it?
- My wife, and that's the line she uses when she orders steak at a restaurant.
  
  Great taste in steak and in women my friend!
  
  Does she likes tartar?

Guess that means I should switch to Fedora.

Opensuse has Mold on it because someone forgot it in an office locker.
- you on leap or tumbleweed?
  
  Neither, Artix and Void currently.

So is qubes the heigh security fence erected around the cows?

I use Gentoo btw

I guess Fedora is ideal for gaming? But otherwise, is there a reason to use it rather than starting with Ubuntu and just install your own cutting edge features as you choose your own upgrade cycle? (Just the fact that they are all bundled together I suppose?)
- Debian tends to be a liiiiitle bit behind Fedora and because gaming on Linux is accelerating in popularity, being ahead can provide big gains in performance.
  Can you manually handle all of that? Sure. I mean I have Mint on my side desktop with a custom Kernel but I recognize that I am dropping a V8 into a Mini Van.
  
  I just spent yesterday fucking up an nVidia driver upgrade in Ubuntu for no appreciable improvement in transition freezing in the Dead Space remake.
- Yes it's ideal for gaming, for that reason valve has chosen arch. 🙃 There are reasons one of them it's the desktop distro as far as developers go. Not only gnome, but kde as well. Fedora is great.
- Bazzite is built from Fedora and is phenomenal for gaming
- But otherwise, is there a reason to use it rather than starting with Ubuntu and just install your own cutting edge features as you choose your own upgrade cycle?
  I'm ride-or-die Debian, but I switch to Fedora when I need a more recent package set.
  I do so to avoid Ubuntu/Snaps, which contains some closed proprietary bullshit, which I personally find to be a pain in the ass.
  
  That's a good point that we don't have to be locked into just one. Do you dual boot that? VM one inside another? Or probably you mean on different hardware?

RHEL is congratulations 🎊

Veal: rewrite the source code in Rust without access to the code.
