Worst distro: windows

Also true, but only if I’m the one criticizing it. 😉

Also true, but only if you can’t use the same argument to criticize it

Distros are really not all that different. Just use whatever.

But Android is worst.

But Android is worst.

Depends on what you’re looking for…and what you mean by “Android.” As in solely AOSP? Or any of the derivatives to include OEM ones? If done right, Android can be more secure than desktop OS, so it actually might be the best distro, depending on what you’re looking for.

OEM Android is truly malware

I thought this was true. Then I found NixOS.

Technically a lot of the great stuff on NixOS could be done on other distros though. By using Nix package manager along with ansible or something.

Best is obviously Hannah Montana Linux.

Worst? Difficult to say, probably anything that isn’t Hannah Montana Linux.

Best (for me) is ArchLinux, it’s never in the way and has the best wiki at https://wiki.archlinux.org, which is also a great resource for other distros.

Worst are probably Ubuntu and derivatives.

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.

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
