I have been using MX Linux for a few years now. It's stable as Debian without systemdick and more practical--not restricted by philosophical adherence--Debian 10 even dropped Virtualbox from their repos because it doesn't meet their definition of free open source software. I run all internet facing packages in firejail and computer doesn't act weird and shit after using the internet for a few months/years--firejail --private firecuck for online banking and shopping.
Before MX I used to use Mint and it was great but I've come to dislike Canonical(the company that makes Ubuntu which Mint is based on) over the years. Canonical makes random decisions and doesn't give a fuck about if that's something the community desires.

I currently have to use an Ubuntu based disto because my laptop is gay and has errors that nobody else is able to reproduce when I try to install anything else. I become especially furious when I research and find that others have great support with my exact model. Lame bad luck.
But, if I had to choose:
>Artix for best rolling release
>Devuan for best stable release without SystemDick
>NixOS for a stable release with supreme stability (at the cost of systemdick dependence)
>Bedrock Linux for the most optimum experience at the cost of time

Have you tried Devuan? I have a tough time finding serious pros and cons differentiating between MX Linux and Devuan.

Nanonymous No.8225 [D] >>8265
Devuan is shit, mostly for reasons Debian is. It's buggy and the part where they ditch systemd to replace it with good ol' sysvinit+elogind+consolekit+policykit is ESPECIALLY buggy.
>just don't use it lol
I kinda have to.
>hol' on how come you say debian is buggy
Debian IS buggy. I always run into minor shit not working as expected and having to patch it or make workarounds. I suppose those bugs were introduced in sid and they just never fixed them, because stable means they don't fix shit.

Debian.
I'd really like to switch to openbsd but it lacks some crucial features.

>Devuan is shit
Yep, it is. I think I'll be switching to parabola in upcoming weeks, after I back up all the shit I have which is few hundreds GBs. I could probably download it again, but some of the torrents may be dead for good by now.
As for the shit part, I still don't know how to unfuck shit whenever I want to to upgrade to testing. It just fucks itself up. Which is why I'll go with parabola, I'm tired of running obsolete software. Luckily I don't need any proprietary drivers.
Also apt is shit, actual meme. Pretty much the only reason why I'm using it right now are .onion repositories.
>sysvinit
You can just use openrc.

No proper/easy virtualization - last time I checked the only option for GUI was VNC.
No option for encryption with plausible deniability, or at least none that I know of. LUKS with detached header does the thing on linux.

>gentoo
Meme distro. Didn't even check signatures until recently. Is intentionally made hard to setup.
>slackware
Outdated, untested shit, slow with security updates.
>arch
Okayish, but lacks e.g. obfsproxy in its repose while opera is/was there, which tells us something about this distro's priorities. Also you gonna need to configure shit yourself.
>crux
Same as gentoo
>ubuntu, debian
Okayish, but retarded package manager
>fedora, opensuse
Were rather good about ten years ago. Today they are so buggy they're basically unusable

>As for the shit part, I still don't know how to unfuck shit whenever I want to to upgrade to testing.
Usually, you don't do that on debian-based. Just DON'T switch up repos from one branch to another. Though it's kinda doable, I remember accomplishing going to testing AND back to stable without many problems. Just remember that upgrade and dist-upgrade are different things, and you have to dist-upgrade at some point.
For the clean experience though, just reinstall that shit. Not worth the hassle.
>I'm tired of running obsolete software
Who gives a shit about "obsolete software"? What gimmicky shit do you want to use? The software just has to be not buggy, though bugs in old versions will most definitely not be fixed.
>Also apt is shit, actual meme
Apt is fine. It does its job. What is shit though is their packaging where maintainers have a LOT of unreasonable dependencies bound together.
>You can just use openrc.
Openrc is not a replacement for sysvinit IIRC, it's more of a convention itself or whatever you call it. Though apparently it has a replacement init as a part of the project.
<Since 0.25 OpenRC includes openrc-init, which can replace /sbin/init

Nanonymous No.8271 [D] >>8272

Baste. Although I wouldn't call gentoo meme distro, if you want specialized or completely custom experience it's the best. Perfect for lazy peeple.
Poobuntu is pretty much arch too, the defaults are so retarded you need to configure everything unless you want to be doxxed by random chink who doesn't even have to put in any effort. Poobuntu also lost all credibility they could ever have after amazon shit.
t. someone who's first distro was lubuntu
I still like lxqt the most

What's the appeal of it? And why would you use slack when there's salix?

Nanonymous No.8272 [D] >>8274

Fuck off, Slackware is fine. It's probably the most extensively tested distro out there.
Also fuck you for that Gentoo troll as well. Literally meme bait.

>>8271
Slackware has problems, but I don't think they're fixable with anything "Slackware-based". You're not going to fix the nodeps. You're not going to fix the one-man distro strategy. Without a redesign and a rebuild, you're not.

>upgrade
Whenever I run upgrade I run
>sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
>obsolete
I don't have any problem with most of the stable shit, it's just that eg 0ad is two releases back and I want to use youtube-dl without any hassle. Like, invidio is good substitute, but it's not as comfy. Also qt is very shit in stable release as it's developing and you see improvements unlike with gtk+ shit with which happens the exact opposite. Some software makes ma wanna use oldstable like xfce though. Rolling release distros are more comfy too as there's no dist-upgrade and really nothing at all that can break.

Make your own package.
>I want to use youtube-dl without any hassle
No stable youtube-dl release is going to last. Just use the git syncing package if your distro provides it.
>Rolling release distros are more comfy too as there's no dist-upgrade and really nothing at all that can break.
They break after going without an update for too long.

I used it for 3 years, then left for a more flexible distro.
