Alt text: A line plot with 2 axis (confidence vs competence) referencing the Dunning-Kruger effect with various distro logos placed at different points on the line. Starts with mint/ubuntu near (0,0) and progressing through multiple distros to end up with opensuse/fedora at what it calls “the plateau of sustainability”
Ubuntu and Mint need to be repeated on the far right (the actual Sesame Street definition of “right”, not Nazis)
Seriously. I feel like the people I know who know the most about computing have the least preferences for a distro, if they even use Linux at all.
Torvalds uses Fedora. He’s one of the most knowledgeable users
And I’m talking about the wide spectrum of computing related topics beyond operating systems - from lithography to abstract research topics to data center architecture, all of whom are experts in their field.
Too right. Gimme a stable distro with broad compatibility and a strong community to fall back on for support any day of the week over this elitist BS.
Agreed. Why should I have the “least (presumed) competence” when I’m using one of the 2 things on here that works every single day?
