    As the old Gentoo mantra goes: stuff breaks so you can learn things :D

      To be honest, I find Gentoo really stable. Nothing really breaks unless I am messing with something (replacing some core part of a system, etc.). When compared to Arch it is a much smoother experience.

      I didn’t know that’s a Gentoo mantra! As a Gentoo user, you won’t believe how often I broke the system due to my own stupidity… But at least I now know not to repeat those particular mistakes. :D

      @yogthos @brombek Love this saying! I use one much like it on a very regular basis; “you’ll never learn to fix what yer scared to break”. Although, I’ve been using gentoo for nearly 20 years and have never heard anyone say this about it.

        @eshep If you don’t mind, I’ll repeat this saying. You’ll never learn to fix what you don’t break… or have lots of users on your product willing to break it for you!

        A similar thing I’ve learned is something like… Success very rarely if ever happens the first time. Everything great is built by those who have failed in the attempt to do something similar many, many times.

        Failing repeatedly in the attempt to do something great can be more indicative of success than… “not failing” is.

    Personally I found Fedora a great compromise in between. I never really had any issues with it and it is fairly up to date in terms of packages.

    Depends what hardware you have. Last I tried, Debian still didn’t work with my Arc A770 even with unstable.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
