It was meant to be a joke... viruses are MEANT to be downloaded by their creators, but nobody would actually want to do that
You wouldn't download a virus

Oh boy. I definitely started with Ubuntu 17.04 in 2017 when I started uni, then soon downgraded to 16.04 because Unity was soooo much better than Gnome. But afterwards it's a blur, I was distrohopping basically every few months, sometimes even more often. I used Antergos (RIP), Manjaro, all flavors of Ubuntu except Gnome, Mint, then I was into the whole minimalistic tiling wm suckless no-systemd rabbit hole with Void, I also did KDE Neon at some point, I definitely did pure Arch as well, and Artix too. Sometimes I even hopped at work when I had a bit more time. God I miss those days...
Right now I've settled on Mint for work and Endeavor for personal use and haven't hopped for over a year which is as long as I've ever gone. I miss hopping but I'm so comfy right now. I've been thinking about finally giving Gentoo a go full time as I've been flirting with the idea forever. And there's also Nix. And I've been meaning to try a system where I fully embrace flatpak (right now I never use it). I'd also like to try something like Qubes eventually. So yeah, plenty to see still after all these years.
Well, when you're an experienced Linux user it's kind of predictable what effect each answer will have on the outcome.
I love btw how Arch, a supposedly brittle and unstable distro, is one of the few that you can actually run for this long without ever reinstalling, on desktop at least. Not having to worry about LTS releases, end of life etc because you essentially always automatically have the latest version is so great.
I can recommend Mint, it's fantasically easy and stable, but take a look at https://distrochooser.de
I mean he's only partly wrong. It sucks when you're not having it, but when you are, it doesn't fix any other problem in your life.
I'm getting dizzy just looking at it
I just got reminded the other day that it started almost 4 years ago now. No damn way...
This is great news, the only thing I'm wondering is what happens when USB-C becomes obsolete... or if it will ever be improved upon now that there's a huge legal hurdle.
Gentoo because while it was fun to try I sure as hell won't be waiting around for my stuff to compile.
That's something Windows used to do a lot, right? I remember the old HDDs were always noisiest under Windows
