Alt text: A line plot with 2 axis (confidence vs competence) referencing the Dunning-Kruger effect with various distro logos placed at different points on the line. Starts with mint/ubuntu near (0,0) and progressing through multiple distros to end up with opensuse/fedora at what it calls “the plateau of sustainability”
I’ve bricked my installation just by logging into root in openSUSE. I am not touching this shit again. I love my arch
Mint… :)
I had thought of going to Fedora next but I ask myself why !
Dang I think I ahve multiple personality disorder then! I use Arch, Debian and Bazzite. I feel all stretched out now!
Been using Debian for like 3 years now. No intent of distro hopping.
Where nixos?
between Gentoo and Arch, but so far down the y-axis it clipped off the chart.

I’m at the Kali Linux peak but at least I’m smart enough to know that I don’t have the capability to do the social engineering aspect so I’m just gonna backtrack to Ubuntu and tie myself to the terminal and actually learn Linux.
Started at low for 6 months , then I travelled to the valley of despair.
I lost my mind and stayed there for a long time. 1 year? 3 years? who are you? who am i? (send help plz)
A traveller names Fedora rescued me. Now I am further down on that curve: Fedora silverblue.
Probably the slope of enlightment.
I do still have Gentoo installed. Planned to daily drive Gentoo, and use Bazzite for gaming on the weekends, but I’m switching back to Gentoo less and less now a days, and just daily driving Bazzite now.
Canonical: snap snap snap snap snap snap snap snap snap
What’s the issue with snaps? I’m still on Ubuntu ans abkut to switch to Debian, but for me its pretty chill atm because I don’t have to worry about updates or security. I know about the terminal aliases, which could be disclosed better, but it’s not that big of a deal to me. I thought it’s pretty cool to have a “store” that’s curated so I don’t have to worry about security, since I use Linux casually.
I’ve been using linux off and on for almost 20 years, though only did a full transition to linux for everything about two years ago. I use debian for the servers in my homelab and Fedora on all my other computers.
Something tells me this chart is based on an external assessment of competence/confidence not a self-assessment, because according to the chart I should be a guru, but in actuality I know nothing.
I’m great at
using Linuxreading the Arch wiki
I am so sick of seeing this ridiculous diagram being labeled the “Dunning-Kruger effect”. Go read the actual 1999 paper they wrote. The key takeaway is that the lowest quartile of people tend to overestimate their own performance, and the top quartile underestimate theirs. It doesn’t posit anything like this graph, and this is just an ironic example of ignorance.
And second, I am so sick of seeing these ridiculous distro comparisons. Stop with this elitism, even if done humorously. People of all experience levels can be found using different distros, and they all have unique advantages, disadvantages, and communities built around them. Don’t shame the great effort that people put into maintaining and developing distros, repositories, and packages. A noob can use Arch, and a master can use Ubuntu. Use what appeals to you, and be happy in knowing you can experiment or stick to anything. This is the beauty of FOSS and the Linux ecosystem; it’s a great place for both tinkerers as well as those who want familiarity. There is no one true way.
There’s a thing across Africa called “joking cousins.” Unlike genuine bad-blood tension between different ethnic groups that can often exist, it’s a jovial sibling rivalry style of thing. I’ve always seen the distro thing a bit like that. It gets tiring, but it’s sort of hard-coded into human nature to joke about slight differences when we’re all in the same tribe.
Though, this graph is silly for the reasons you mention - I think that might be intentional as part of the joke. It’s stupid, so clearly OP is daily driving Kali and hacked the central database to add the distro logos. I dunno, maybe I’m explaining it away too easily.
I didn’t say it’s the actual diagram, I said it’s referencing it. Also chill. It’s a stupid meme
So you’re saying the graph maker is in the lower quartile?
Bazzite/bluefin so Fedora silverblue 😂
I’ve been working with Linux for the better part of 20 years at this point. Ubuntu is perfectly fine my time is too valuable to spend numerous hours fucking around getting shit to work properly. If that makes me an idiot then I’m happily an idiot.
I get that many people have issues with snap, SystemD or whatever else they want to throw out. I don’t give a shit. You’re whinging into the wind over nothing burgers.
Same here, I started with Slackware 4 and have done the recompile your kernel depending on what hardware you have quite enough thank you. I’ll use whatever works with the least hassle and if that means Linux Mint on almost all my home setups, so be it.
This meme really irritates me hahahaha
This is better
I used Fedora for a year or two. Had some issues. Had a USB stick laying around with the latest version Mint. So just installed that instead. Both options are good, but Mint just worked perfectly out of the box. No Nvidia driver stuff either. I don’t have time to fix my OS, well… I don’t prioritise it. I know how, I just don’t want to.
