Which Operating System Do You Mainly Use?

or directly on the gentoo forums: Gentoo Ricing 170%

I use Slackware.
Man you forget to mention this serious linux distro, while you listed many dummies ones.  :roll:

I just took the most popular distros from Distrowatch and combined them with ones I'd seen in the game and picked the top 6-7, as the polling system will only take 10 options, that seemed sensible.  Slackware and Mepis would have been included if I'd had more options (as would others).

Not going to grace your trolling by commenting on the 'Dummies' bit.

See:

Google Trends (Comparison of Ubuntu, SuSE, Fedora, Slackware and Mandriva..not including Mandrake)

I friggin hate gentoo, though  :roll:

I don't blame you ... I've tried to install it many times, and somehow it never works.

Say, is arch easy to install ? I wanna switch away from Fedora, well, because it isn't the best of all distros. But I want one that is up to date, has a nice installer (as in it can be installed in a sane, user-friendly manner), and doesn't need a ton of configuring things yourself (I'm not good at that). I don't like Ubuntu, cuz they do things differently from most other distros, you know, put things in places they don't really belong in order to be more like Window$.

It's not trolling, everybody knows that these are easy distros:
Fedora Core     
Mandriva    
(K)Ubuntu    
Novell SuSE

And these are serious distros:
Slackware
Debian
Gentoo

Sorry to had sound troll saying "dummies", it wasn't my purpose.

You want a bit of a laugh? Go to http://funroll-loops.org/ (!)

OMFG.  I haven't laughed this hard in a long time.  The other admin I share an office with is totally into cars.  He's got a TransAm that he's pimped out and drag races.  He is very anti-ricer and a hardcore Gentoo user.  If he installs a machine, it gets Gentoo.  End of story.

I simply cannot think of anything that would be more offensive to him than to be compared to a ricer.
