This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

every time i see an argument about what distro to use i'm like "why the hell would anyone run something other than mint unless they're in the fbi most wanted or they hate free time"

Because apt sucks. Pacman for the win.

Because I use KDE and they killed that spin years ago. Also LM is bloated in my opinion so I prefer installing only what I use/prefer vs the kitchen sink approach of Mint.

Also portage > apt

Fetch, unpack, configure, compile, install, qmerge, clean

OpenSUSE Thumbleweed

Because I have hyperphantasia and don't like tasting mint every time I turn on my computer.
