@da_habakuk right, I did not meant them to be exactly same but rather of same family

@da_habakuk @EdwardTorvalds Fedora is not a rolling (release) distro.

@sesivany but it releases are I think much faster then say LTS version of Ubuntu right?

@sesivany @EdwardTorvalds ehm. (fedora) rawhide is a rolling release distro. but fedora has also releases every 6 months. but yeah living with rhel&debian stable 6months is quite rollin' for me ;)

@da_habakuk @sesivany @EdwardTorvalds I've been following #Fedora Rawhide on and off for years. Its rolling nature was never the issue. The main issues I had were RPM Fusion packages being out of sync (they got better at rebuilding them quickly, but not quickly enough) and a few packagers who thought it was ok to push known-broken updates because "rawhide isn't supposed to be stable all the time". This is the mindset that pushed me to #ArchLinux.

@georgia I skipped the minority because mastodon does not allow more than 4 options, sorry

@EdwardTorvalds
@georgia
Maybe you should make a match out of it like @fribbledom did https://mastodon.social/@fribbledom/103654002004342217

@sjw I think Debian and Ubuntu combined are most popular

@sjw I was just saying about usage pattern, not comparing based on their strengths and weaknesses. Yes, windows suck, Bill Gates need to jump from large building

@benis Mastodon puts a limit on poll options

@EdwardTorvalds Debian and Ubuntu should be split. Ubuntu is used by many "first time users" but Debian is on opposite scale of the users (and would not expect bit penetration).

@EdwardTorvalds

I tried a lot of Linux-Distributions but Debian is for me the best.

@EdwardTorvalds

Because you wrote Debian/Ubuntu: Why you didn't mention Manjaro after Arch ?

@alinka Manjaro is just Arch Linux 'managed' for non-technical users.
But Debian and Ubuntu differ a lot.

@EdwardTorvalds

yes, of course. Therefore I felt a bit irritated about "Debian or Ubuntu"

@alinka mastodon does not allow more than 4 options for poll

@alinka that is the beautify of Linux distributions, they are made to suit wide range of users 🙂

@f2k1de It is obvious from day 1 🙂

@funnypanja @[email protected] why?

@Pinguinsreisende xfce is not OS

@EdwardTorvalds linux Mint

@Pinguinsreisende its base is Ubuntu

@EdwardTorvalds thats right and ?

@Pinguinsreisende you vote Ubuntu

@EdwardTorvalds no Linux Mint is not Ubuntu ;D is only Ubuntu base ;D

@lioh sadly, Mastodon does not give more than 4 options for the poll

@Muto @jeybe isn't Ubuntu itself based on Debian?

@EdwardTorvalds
It is, but they aren't the same. There are good reasons to use either the one or another
@Muto

@veer66 Void Linux is based on?

@bionade24 you have to pick one :-)

@KopfKrieg I think you should vote, since your personal computer is arch itself.

@dadegroot max 4 options are allowed. Had to pick popular ones.
