      I mean, good for him I guess? Comparing Mint to Arch is about as pointless as comparing Mint to headless Debian.

        nothing wrong with Mint, but it isnt some magical distro, and I’m so sick of hearing about it that my ears pretty much [bleed]
        every single “What distro should I try?” thread: “Mint” “I recommend Mint” "Why use x when you could use Mint?" “MINT!”… /rant

          It is not that it is the best distro, its that it is the easier onboarding experience for a windows user

            edit and alas: I have seen the error of my ways, and as such, will, from this day forth, worship at the linux of mint
            and ye though there are other worthy transitional distros, I shall not see them, for the votes have taught me so. and the people said mint

    Can we please just ban distro war ragebait?

    It’s 2025 and I’m sick and tired of it. You can feel cool for using a specific distro for all I care, you are embarrassing yourself at worst. You are toxic for shitting on other distros or creating an adversarial narrative tho

          I watch a lot of his videos. But I didn’t watch this one because I loathe and resent clickbait titles. I would imagine a fair number of people chose not to watch and down voted because of the clickbait title alone.

            How would you title video where you talk about reasons why you’ve stopped using Arch?

      "This goes against my distro choice and I need validation to feel superior! "

      Reading the comments, it’s obvious they either didn’t watch the video and those that did, missed the point of what he was saying and got butthurt instead… Internet comments on a nutshell

    Dude straight up says “SteamOS doesn’t work on everything” and in almost the same sentence says “Bazzite is cool”. This guy does not understand puters AT ALL 🤣

    Also, the rant about the terminal while complaining about Arch about made me laugh so hard I’d sploosh.

    Using a tool for a job you don’t understand will yield unexpected results, fool. 😘

      What’s wrong about that statement? Try installing SteamOS on Nvidia hardware and tell me how it went ;) why do you think Bazzite exists in the first place? SteamOS in it’s current state is not meant to be installed on other hardware, it’s a recovery image for the deck. Sure, if you have compatible AMD hardware you COULD do it, but you can’t even choose which drive to install it on cause there is no proper installer. If you want the SteamOS experience on other devices just use Bazzite.
