Arch is Amazing. Bazzite is Beautiful. CentOS is Civilized. Debian is Dope. Endeavour is Enchanting. Fedora is Fantastic.
I use Fedora so I’m stopping at F.
And Ubuntu is … also there.
Gentoo is great. Hannah Montana Linux is happening.
… nothing comes to mind for I, passing that along to the next person.
IPFire is inflammable, …
I’d never heard of IPFire before searching btw, and it’s not a general purpose distribution. I cannot find any active distro for J, but I found this JustEnoughLinuxOS
Ubuntu is Snappy
/s
Or Unsafe because it has the firewall disabled by default.
I miss how i used to think Capitalism was healthy and competition from rival businesses fostered innovation - until they all teamed up against us :(
That’s what the “deregulation” “conservatives” have been screeching about for the past few decades is all about.
That’s basically the end game of capitalism: Plutocracy.

Currently happy with Linux on the old-ass Chromebook I bought for a whopping fifty cents. Works great. Does everything I need it to. Am laughing at Microsoft depreciating old hardware and laughing at new hardware prices.
Might eventually upgrade to a laptop that has a touch screen… But only if it’s under $5.
Linux distros have driver support for a Chrome book touch screen?
Lol, I’d like to see that
Well, my fifty cent chromebook doesn’t have a touch screen, so I wouldn’t know.
But I’m using Graphite OS on it, a lightweight Linux variant with a specially tailored kernel to work on old Chromebook hardware, including drivers for all the weird stuff. Everything it has works, even the little special feature buttons and stuff. No longer an actively maintained project, unfortunately, but it works well enough for now. I’d love to see someone revive it with support for more modern Linux kernels. (Unfortunately, I can’t update the kernel without losing some of the special modifications that make it work more efficiently on a chromebook and include chromebook-specific hardware drivers.)
Can’t be properly third world without a modern computing deficit, right? 🤔
Yup. Bazzite for the win!
Now is the right time to start a small business migrating Windows 10 EOL machines to Linux for people who can’t afford new machines and offering service plans to help them if they’re stuck.
That’s basically how Red Hat does it for corporations, they don’t sell Linux, but they sell service and support for it.
Will it be exceptionally profitable? Not at all.
Will it be a pro-social and helpful thing to do for your community while making maybe enough money to scrape by? Yes.
This is how you build community.
EDIT: If you’re independently wealthy or have the support structures, you can also just do it all for free which is even more pro-social, but most of us need at least a meager income in exchange for our time and labor to stay alive, sadly.
