no time for distro wars if you're too busy hunting down drivers and unbreaking everything :]
(debian still best distro tho)
I had a girlfriend who used Debian back around 2005.
Never have I been around an OS that didn't work as often as Debian. It wouldn't crash, but need to be updated or something every hour. It was a full time job keeping it running for her.
wdym, updates every hour? we're you using Stable?
Even Arch doesn't have updates every hour

I'm currently just after the fedora stage so far. Guess I better go try Gentoo.

I've tried debian twice, 1st time apt-autoremove deleted half of my system literally seconds after I installed it. The 2nd time I just got tired of constantly messing with apt, dependencies and autoremove. Also the packages are just too old to be a usable desktop for me...

As an Ubuntu weanie why should I swap?
There is nothing wrong with using Ubuntu if it works for you.

But it does just work 😁
I am a Debian unstable user who used to use Gentoo, the reason I stopped using Gentoo is revdep-rebuild. Do not want to do another revdep-rebuild ever again.

I still love Debian to bits and pieces but I can't convince me to use it as a daily driver again. And I used it as such for nearly a decade.
My main issue is the software being dated. Yes, there are backports, and with flatpak support we can circumvent that even better but... no.

Red Hat making memes now?
Pretty accurate. Heard someone describe Debian as "boring Arch" the other days and it's pretty accurate. Whilst the base system is still fairly useable it's still pretty bare bones and it seems like most Debian users will tweak it slightly to their liking and just stick with it. Been me for the past few years
I'm on Ubuntu. A week ago I had to look up how to use a python script. I wouldn't even hide porn that much.
Remind me what the two on the right are.
4th is Gentoo. 5th is Debian's logo inverted, so I'm not sure if that's supposed to be Debian or a derivative that I don't know off hand because there are so many.
