OpenSUSE: Socks in sandals.
I don't understand.
OpenSUSE comes from Germany, we have the stereotype that we wear socks in sandals.
Oh, ok.
OpenSUSE is truly Fedora with sandals
Linux from scratch?

If you're really hardcode, you can also write a compiler first.
just machine language sib
what about no socks?
Slackware.
Socks are a new fad and won't catch on.
Footwraps allow YOU, not the manufacturer, to decide how exactly you want to cover your feet, and offer much more flexibility.
Windows of course
How dare you!
TempleOS!
freedos
Thank god the skirt comes standard no matter the distro, I thought I was weird
sigh fiiiinnnee! I’ll learn nix then!
come! We even have a Lesbian Nix interpreter!
Whaaaaaaaat. Ok, I’m sold! 😻
That name is pure genius.
Linux Mint user, currently wearing ankle socks. Meme accuracy confirmed.
I ain't no coder, but right now I'm wearing ankle socks and very soft and comfortable sweat pants while running Fedora Atomic Budgie and drinking tea.
I run Mint and Kubuntu: have both ankle socks and crew socks.
... I'm not kidding.
Suddenly everyone has forgotten about Gentoo
A ball of yarn and needles.
Rather a needle in a groin
gentoo should be somewhere between A and B
Wtf you are not a femboy
I have not and will not.
Gentoo4evaaaa!1!
Gentoo is the giant cock behind the skirt.
The best of both worlds!
I'm sitting here pondering how it is that there's so much overlap between coders and femininity. Is there a connection between the habits of coders and a desire for comfortable stockings? Am I just seeing a small sample size (due to this being Lemmy)?
Or, perhaps, is it simply the spirit of our coding foremothers calling coders back to their ancestral roots?
Either way, carry on, you lovely people. Rock those socks!
Polymorphism kinda makes you realise everything is bullshit.
Discrimination on the workfloor, dysphoria -> pick job with little irl socialisation needed -> IT
is my guess
I think it's that with software everything is malleable and nothing is fixed. So it would appeal to someone who wants to change their environment or self.

sitting on your ass all day and typing isn't exactly lifting bricks or hunting elephants
QubesOS: multiple socks overlapping each other.
Honestly, as a qubes girlie, I have some pairs that just go right up to my ass lmao.
How is your Qubes experience, if you don't mind me asking? I always loved the idea, especially since some of my work are different cybersecurity/pentesting projects, where both the separation of trust/data and the ability to quickly run templated environments per project sound super useful, but I never really got around doing it.
Do you daily drive it? I'm also pretty much a gamer, and while I could imagine it on my work laptop, I'm not sure if it's feasible when gaming is one of my main focuses on PC. I can kind of imagine that a virtualization-based OS would be terrible for gaming.
I daily drive it for non-preformance tasks on a star book mk VI (coreboot, ME disabled). You can do things like GPU pass through, by qubes doesn't recommend it because of how insecure accessing vram can be (I think, someone will correct me if I'm wrong XP).
For larger tasks like games or CAD, I have a desktop with a 5950x and a 5700xt. That runs proxmox on Debian (headless). I decrypt it via dropbear-ssh and login via proxmox's web interface. From there I can start 1 for four VMS I setup which have access to most of the machines resources including all but two threads 30ish GB of ram, and a full 5700xt. I used a VM running on this machine to beat Cyberpunk 2077 1440p mid-high settings with above 60fps, that being said that was back when my host OS was gentoo, and pre-dlc when 2077 was a little lighter on hardware.
Haven't gotten it to run that good since, however my play through of system shock (2023) has been p good so far.
Yoo Starbook, I'm unironically considering one of those Starlabs laptops, but sadly the standard starbook is sold out.
I'm a little sad they don't offer openSUSE, Fedora, or Arch options, but there's an option to buy them without any OS. Is there a reason they recommend a particular range of OSes as suitable for the starbook?
And how are they for gaming? Think like Stardew, Paradox games, and so on.
Using qubes so can't say much for gaming, but I imagine it'd be about as well for any similarly spec'd ultrabook. I think they test those listed distros for compatibility, but I ran qubes on it since before they listed it as an option.
Actually in the middle of rma'ing the board for bad power circuitry (after 3 years), well see how it goes before I reccomend it. That being said the new lemur pro from system76 isn't made out of plastic shit, but instead magnesium alloy, so that actually looks promising as an alternative.
I'll let ya know how I make out with the repair.
That's actually an impressive setup! I've been mostly gaming on desktop Bazzite, but usually just connect through Sunlight/Moonlight from a laptop in bed. Never really considered a proxmox setup.
I might look into it, that sounds pretty useful. Already have an old desktop I sometimes use as a server, with older GPU and some RAM, so it would make for a great test environment for this kind of things.
Mint is my recommendation for anyone straying from Windows.
I've been recommending bazzite. Mainly cause if they haven't migrated yet, then it's a great stepping stone cause it's a complete out of the box experience and the default layout kinda mimics windows.
I'm struggling with Mint today. The Bluetooth handling of my headphones and earbuds is dogshit. It connects and then immediately disconnects, shows Error: Unknown error, and I have to unpair my phone and desktop PC from the headphones to get them to pair properly.
Also I'm looking for Mint versions of Green shots and Fancy Zones that have close functionality to those windows apps, and I haven't found anything suitable yet.
I’ve had issues with my headphones disconnecting too, it may be my kernel version. If you are looking for a screenshot utility, flameshot has served me well.
Flameshot is pretty good, but Greenshot allows me to single click capture a region without confirming to save. I use that workflow to zip through service calls, capping remote screens, sections of log files, config files, ect and have them save somewhere where I can go and review or mark them up later. Press PrtScrn, mouse down, drag, mouseup, done.
Having to go looking for the save button and click it is a small additional step, but it still adds time to that workflow where I might be capturing a screenshot region once every second.
The buttons in flameshot are all over the place, but when saving I tend to use Ctrl + S or Ctrl + C. There isn’t a single click capture though, and my old screenshot software that I used called ShareX had that, and I’ve missed it since switching over to Linux.
I've never had a problem with Bluetooth. Vlc windowing on the otherhand
I stick with the 3.5mm wired connection. No charging, no battery, no pairing issues, and full fidelity.
I stick to a slate and chalk, never had any driver issues or updates break anything, and it's full resolution and never needs charging.
You might get a high resolution but the refresh rate is horrible.
I've also not had any Bluetooth issues, but I've not got Bluetooth integrated into my machine.
I use a cheap USB dongle for it. Maybe that could help? They usually cost less than $10 (though this was pre-AI tech prices).
Obviously there would just be a fix for it (and maybe there is), but his is a good placeholder/fallback solution.
Or indeed another distro might be the way. Though yeah that's a PitA too.
I don't really agree, I'd recommend something KDE based instead since it's more similar to modern Windows. Probably actually something like Aurora would be good to recommend since it's immutable and not easy to screw up. And it comes with Flathub built right in.
My socks are getting shorter
Weird to see Mint ranked below Ubuntu, but I'll take it.
It's somewhat less mainstream, but it's often recommended to recent converts from Windows as a more familiar experience, plus, Ubuntu offers more choice (like regular Ubuntu, all the flavors that are mostly different desktop environments (which Mint also has, but not as many), and Ubuntu server edition), which is a detriment for new linux users. Imagine accidentally installing Ubuntu server.
But snap bad
Mint. Not socks, leggings, and they go all the way up
Oh damn. I’m at Debian and I’ve dabbled in arch!
Wheres gentoo?
Hidden by the skirt, I'd assume.
Makes sense :3
NixOS has fascism problem
Guix is superior.
How many ohms is that?
0 because flirting with Linux users gets electric with no resistance
Well what can I say I like mint
That length sock is better than the one for Ubuntu in my head though. So win win.
can there maybe be socks which like - go above the waist up above the the torso - and above the shoulders -
for windows 11 pro users?
/j.,.... but I would like those socks still
I like the video they put >v<
NixOS user, Rust programmer, and bagpiper. The socks go higher than S, but usually get folded down below the knee. And they're not rainbow, that wouldn't match the outfit.
As a Ubuntu user this is accurate. Still queer though!
God damn it you got me. Most of my socks are actually fedora length and I do use fedora.
How? ಠಗಠ
What is the S tier one? Which one represents Socks higher than A tier? I ask because I like to wear thigh highs which go all the way up leaving no gap at all.
Many Linux distros are good, distro choosers help. But imho, for OSes and especially Linux distros the importance imho is the following.
DISCLAIMER: I don't condone distro wars. Whatever you have probably works, this is just my personal opinion.
a) FOSS (otherwise it ain't Linux). Helps in auditing and to spot bugs faster.
b) Secure (if it's compromised, what are the risks? is it frequently updated and/or stable?).
c) Highly customisable - freedom! Being able to pick "Windows/Mac/other" looks is just one part of it. Being able to modify more parts helps for your user case.
d) User-friendly - works out of the box or installs only what's needed, no bloatware. Accessibility settings.
It also depends on how well you know Linux and how to deal with computers in general.
Let's include non-Linux:
F-tier; Uninstall that shit
Windows - paid, proprietary, bloat- and spyware.
Red Star OS - filled with DPRK spyware.
E-tier; Also don't recommend
Macintosh - much more usable and secure than Windows, but that's it. Very propietary and commercialised.
Red Hat OS - too commercial.
D-tier; Your choice, but could be better
Ubuntu - stable, mainly useful for servers, and beginner-friendly. However, it hogs a lot of resources and isn't as secure or private.
ElementaryOS - very beautiful and MacOS-like, but somewhat commercialised and should improve in terms of security.
C-tier; Has its niche great usage
QubesOS - best for security imho together with Arch. It's not user-friendly, but if you care about safety from an OS being seized... it's also good in combination with Whonix.
Whonix - Debian fork, focused on security.
Tails - best for privacy, you'll need to shut down the computer before restarting though.
NixOS - manages packages very well. The leadership is problematic, so I'd [recommend Lix and/or AntiX instead.
B-tier; Good all-around, but fits specialists better
Debian - adheres well to the core principles of Linux, very stable to the point of lagging behind.
Arch Linux - arguably the least nonsense, but it's not very beginner-friendly, though has a lot of help guides.
A-tier; Beginner-friendlier, smaller issues
Linux Mint - "it just works". Still has some proprietary and small security concerns, but specifically for people new to Linux, especially when coming from Windows, I would actually consider this to be above Fedora Linux.
Fedora Linux - generally user-friendly, has great security too. Actively developed by a FOSS community, though Red Hat-backed.
S-tier; Hallelujah
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed - German, has excellent security, good for sysadmins especially. User-friendly installer and has a lot of customisation.
Also, Linus runs fedora, that's gotta count for a lil something, 😆
I know Fedora and Debian are the best ones (I use Debian on any machines which need long uptime and I'm looking to use Fedora or a derrivative on the Tablet I'm planning to get). I was mainly asking in the context of the chart the OP showed since it lists sock heights that are all lower than the thigh highs I wear. So I was wondering which distro would correlate with the sock height I have.
Ah in that case, Linux from Scratch would be the highest, that's basically "make your own bloody socks".
Or maybe QubesOS, while it's not as well-known as Arch, it's also not meant for beginners.
Maybe OpenSUSE, but that's more like Fedora or Debian level.
Possibly something like Fedora universal blue also? Provided you build it yourself instead of just using the pre-built versions.
I think OpenSUSE is more at the Fedora or Debian Level, maybe a bit less friendly.
Up to my knees! 🥳
c/unixsocks aah moment
Where gentoo?
@Sivecano @TotallynotJessica higher up.
😏
You got to build it from source duh.
XD
I love gentoo but man firefox compile times
firefox-bin....
Shit yay! Though my legs are so long I probably have a few other versions up there somewhere…
where would ublue go
Where opensuse
Was also gonna ask, but someone already said it; see below
Yes. They're correct.
