LMDE besto logo.

[@mysticbimmer]

The Ubuntu logo looks like three people holding hands in a circular pattern. It would fit with what the name of the distro means.

[@milohoffman274]

COME ON, give us the "Distro Logo Tier List" episode we all know we want.

[@NatePick]

The hell that went down, I am liking this video.

[@FilthyPitDog]

Gentoo has an awesome logo

[@andrabtedja]

My list on best logo: 1. Fedora (now, it's clean and good looking for brand) 2. openSUSE (both geeko and tumbleweed logo) 3. Kubuntu (circular with gear, very creative without leaving Ubuntu trademark circle) 4. Linux Mint (Circle) 5. Red Hat (only hat, without shadowman) 6. NixOS (black/white version, it's circular pattern of six lambda look like snowflake) 7. Rocky (negative space and simple logo) 8. Zorin (negative space of Z is interesting)

[@RealWaffles]

tyler finding out the keybinds for people that don't have an end and home key lol

[@pyrokamileon]

I'm pretty sure that open suse logo is a chameleon.. I used it many many years ago and honestly that mascot is the one thing that keeps making me want to come back to it lol

[@mrmelted8668]

I use mint on my netbook-cuz i don’t know how to use terminal for updates/add and remove programs-i’m old and use software managers

[@theclient6251]

The Debian logo is the Jimi Hendrix of Linux Distro logos. The Pop!OS and Mint are kinda corny. Zorin is unique coz it isn't a circle. Tux is the worst. lol

[@DanPratt]

You’d be surprised how well Linux would run on that 2010 iMac. I ran Pop OS and then Arch on a 2011 MBP for a while until I got my Thinkpad.

[@neamupanselutelor7309]

Finally someone asking the real questions. Personally I think Debian's is the best

[@hopelessdecoy]

I have never had a more stable and complete experience than Linux Mint with cinnamon. I have tried Debian, Fedora, Kubuntu and all had issues I had to spend a lot of time debugging (Kubuntu was more issues with KDE than the distro).

[@htx80nerd]

Linut Mint is the 'just works' distro in my experience. Fedora is also pretty solid too. But so many other distros have a glitch during install, or right away on first boot something goes wrong that I can't fix after 30+ min on Google. After 30min to 1hr on Google I have to decide how much MORE time I want to spend, or I can just install Linux Mint or something else.

[@esra_erimez]

Windows is like Klingon technology and Linux is like Federation technology to me. (The Original Series)

[@TheRob2D]

The Ubuntu logo to me always looked like the Scion from Tomb Raider 1. My vote is for Debian, that logo is fire. Doesn't have to mean anything, just needs to look cool.

[@deod087]

I think that, Linux Mint should make a major rebrand, changing name and logo, i was thinking of something like "Limi" or just "MintOS"

[@EasyGameEh]

i think you guys are misrepresenting light themes' strain on your eyes. the thing isn't about dark or light but rather about proper brightness, contrast and backlight settings. you know, when you go up the mountains the snow is everywhere, it's clear and the sun is bright so it seems blindening. however when you just go outside in winter snow is just white. same here - light theme doesn't have to be too bright. as long as you keep your brightness settings in accordance with you environment. i even think that properly set up (there're definitely some workspace environmental codes for that in every country) black text on white background would be easier to read than white text on black background.

[@PedroRosado22]

Great episode! Both entertaining and informative!

[@somemediocregamer]

GPU pass through for gaming has been awesome for me even on hyprland. I had to do a couple extra steps in virt-manager but EAC and what not has not been a problem. I use an ARC gpu on linux and pass-through a powerful nvidia card. Using looking glass to capture the screen so it's almost seamless when moving around between the two systems. When the day comes I can use Nvidia on linux and it not be crap, imma hold onto this solution.

[@Skelterbane69]

Slackware has my favorite logo, 2nd place comes solus

[@LoganKaval]

What If Matt Changed His Neofetch Command???

[@TheLinuxCast]

I did not do that.

[@LoganKaval]

I Know Just Joking.@@TheLinuxCast

[@esra_erimez]

"The official Gentoo logo is a stylized 'g' resembling a silver magatama" -Wikipedia

[@fakecubed]

I really like the Rocky Linux logo. Linux Mint is pretty bad. The Ubuntu logo doesn't bother me at all. I hate the Gentoo logo. CentOS (RIP) is really bad too.

[@pamina6572]

Gentoo ❤❤ Larry the COW 🐄 I am a middle-aged house wife and I have been compiling from source since 2013.

Peppermint OS=umbrella corporation muwahahaha

[@glebglub]

I wouldn't say apple is better at hardware: windows 10 LTSC IoT 21h2 has the cpu in my 2009 imac (which is actually a cpu from 2006) on their support list, and is supported until 2032 - apple however nixed support with El Capitan in 2018. that, plus the fact macbooks have been prone to hardware faults since at least 2016 (inadequate cooling, SSDs getting nuked, dust-gate etc.) plus anti-right-to-repair activities that force no option but to go to them only to be told "it's better you buy a new one because we'd have to replace the entire logic board anyway" when it's a $15 part that needed replacing (not to mention all the firmware is on the SSD now so when that dies you're left with a brick since it can't boot off an external drive [or you risk a $600 part and someone with BGA soldering experience to transfer the chip without corrupting the data from the soldering process, since the SSD is apple propietary and NEEDS that data to function AT ALL])... well, yeah. the M series chips ARE beastly, I won't deny that, but everything around it is just a big "do not want" - the only one I'd even consider is the mac studio since it's basically a cheaper workstation sans the PCI slots (which you can't put a GPU in anyway), but that's not a laptop

[@meskes4059]

Hands down, the Shadowman.

[@MartinKuhlen]

I don't like Windows all that much but I hate Apple with a passion. There is nothing more proprietary and more closed than Apple products.

[@mrmelted8668]

a good cheap way to get into apple is ebay certified and back market- i got hella apple products dirt cheap from there-

[@giannibtt]

not my distro but the Fedora logo is smooth and consistent, and new Tumbleweed logo is also ok.

[@that_leaflet]

I hard disagree. Even though Fedora Silverblue is one of my favorite distros, whenever I see that logo I just think its ugly.

[@JamesSmith-ix5jd]

It's a letter g, slightly rotated.

[@mikel8190]

The Debian swirl is on buzz lightyears chin

[@redrush-hp9li]

gentoo imo

[@deedend]

Debian, and by far!

[@orvilleclisby6748]

Ubuntu has the BEST logo, is the BEST distro, enough said... And don't spam my comment.

[@ordinaryhuman5645]

Wrong on both counts, but expecting more would be silly.

[@yoloparrot42]

You guys are fucking insane. Windows is way better than Mac. If no Linux, why would you go to the (way) more restrictive OS??

[@ernestoditerribile]

Maybe learn the terminal on MacOS. You can run all Linux commands and you can build almost all Linux packages natively from source. It isn’t that hard. I have all my packages I use a lot for pentesting with my Kali Multi-GPU/CPU Servers natively installed on my MacBook Pro 15” i7 2015 MBP 16” i9 2019 and on my MBP 16” M2 Max which also runs Fedora Asahi 40 rawhide(for testing purposes) and removing small bugs for KDE6(Blender isn’t working properly yet). Windows can’t match up against Linux, FreeBSD(UNIX) or MacOS(DarwinBSD/UNIX) when it comes to networking and memory management. Also if you are developing applications, you will find out that VSCodium and NeoVim are so much better then VSCode(includes Microsoft Spyware) or Dreamweaver(for web-development)

[@glebglub]

@@ernestoditerribile >16” i9 2019 isn't that one of the models susceptible to an inevitable death of the SSD because the capacitor eventually grounds to the high volt rail nuking the SSD in the process? seem to remember Louis Rossman talking about it a lot and it being the 16" models, not so sure if the M2 version suffers the same fate but that has its own hardware problems (specifically anti-right-to-repair practices of not supplying 3rd parties with the capability to replace and calibrate parts and all the firmware being on the SSD without the option to boot externally so it will eventually end up as a useless brick when that part inevitably fails from read/write cycles). software aside, the hardware is a minefield of "do not want" and has been for a long time now. shame really because the M-series chips are pretty killer (no pun intended)

[@ernestoditerribile]

I can replace capacitors and storage chips myself. So if that eventually happens, I can repair it myself.

[@glebglub]

@@ernestoditerribile fair enough, but fair warning for the M2 model if you end up needing it; you need to do it with the data already on the chip, which you can get from buying the $600 storage module for the workstation since it comes with the software/firmware pre-loaded, but de-soldering it then re-soldering it without corrupting the data from the heat introduced is where the trouble comes in. not completely sure on this part since it's been a while I looked into it but iirc you can't use generic chips since Apple are using their own proprietary ones which is part of the reason why you have to go this route, instead of grabbing say a Samsung or Micron chip and injecting the data yourself should you have a full-disk backup (maybe you can jerry-rig it if you can find a pin-out or someone's made a custom tool for it but idk if that's the case at this moment in time. I do know someone HAS made a tool for re-programming the lid angle sensor after being replaced though)

[@ernestoditerribile]

@@glebglubLuckily I run Time Machine. For servers I run Veeam or Proxmox Backup server. I also make snapshots regularly
