Why GNU/Linux

This is the Unix philosophy: Write programs that do one thing and do it well. Write programs to work together. Write programs to handle text streams, because that is a univeRsal interface

- Doug McIlroy, the inventor of Unix pipes and one of the founders of the Unix tradition

Best core

I like Linux because of its simplicity. You have a strong minimal and fast core which you can easily transform into whatever you want.

Best interfaces

Is the best user interface the one someone learns fast or the one which is fast? The answer is the `cli` and `neovim`.

Best backing

What is better: A single person deciding what it best or letting open source software enthusiasts do it naturally?

Distros I like

• Arch: Minimal, Fast, good package manager, the `AUR` is nice, excellent documentation
• Void: Minimal, Fast, good package manager, no systemd
• Gentoo: just funny
• NixOs: everything else is legacy
• Omarchy: nice kernel idea
• Ubuntu: because some shit just runs on Ubuntu
• plan9: i know its not linux
