NixOS Linux: 88%
Slackware: 88%
Gentoo Linux: 81%

I use CRUX version 3.2

nixOS too

haven't really read much about it, hm

I'm surprised to see bedrock linux on this list

I'm more about dat simplicity, and while NixOS seems cool, it's complicated as hell.

I was a guy from a long time ago who suggested this. I own distropicker.com. You've done more with it than I have the time to. Do you want the domain name?

I don't own the site, just found it

Hmm I got the same results, I think its rigged in favour of complex distros

could not be bothered to finish shitty questions

>Arch Linux: 88%
>NixOS Linux: 81%
>Antergos: 81%

No surprises here, will be sticking with Arch unless something better appears.

>Slackware 93%
>Debian 93%
>NixOS 86%

Got stuck on a question, does an ssd count as an hard disk?

All 75%
NixOS, Slackware, Bedrock, Antergos, openSUSE, Debian, Arch

All 69%
Gentoo, Ubuntu with GNOME, CentOS, Mageia, Manjaro

This didn't choose jack shit, it gave me like a hundred shits to choose from with the same rating

in this case yes, they want to know if you are installing the os or using a live cd

>Debian
Good thing that's what I use

Because there is a lot of results, I'll just post what got 70% and better.
>Slackware Linux: 88%
>Bedrock Linux: 88%
>NixOS Linux: 81%
>Gentoo Linux: 81%
>Mageia: 81%
>Debian: 81%
>Arch Linux: 75%

Funny thing is, I'm using slackware right now as I type this. I love slackware and I don't think I'll be using any other distro for a long time. It would take systemd taking over slackware for me to jump ship to gentoo or LFS.

That's ridiculous. Not a good selector at all.

>I didn't get a 100% match
Might as well stop using my PC.

You have to be a diehard fanboy for a specific distro to get a 100% match.

>Mageia, Debian 81%

Gonna stay on my comfy CentOS and Xubuntu machines.

>Slackware: 88%

>Bedrock Linux: 81%

My nigga. Long live slackware.

>Ubuntu GNOME: 94%
>Debian: 94%

Was actually planning on switching to Debian for my next build.

would anyone even be interested in bedrock's use case?

I chose that I want my software always up to date. And it recommended me Debian as my 3rd alternative.

Debian testing is a thing user, also unstable aka sid.

25/25
Ubuntu: 91%
openSuse: 91%
Slackware: 82%

Gentoo Linux: 73%
Ubuntu GNOME: 73%
CentOS: 73%

Debian: 88%
Ubuntu Gnome: 88%
I use Debian

These questions are pretty much mostly "can you do shit for yourself or do you need an adult to do it for you" I mean it's silly.

I mean shit. I want something that I can have the option to tinker with but still doesn't require me to set up every little thing if there's a quicker way. And I'm fine with apt, rpm and pacman so how the fuck would I answer all of those at the same time

>Arch with the highest percentage
I'm on the right distro

Debian

Kubuntu 75
debian 75
slackware 68(roughly,closed window)

not_even_mad
I use debian.

apt is not as customizable as pacman, ie: edit pkgbuild before install

>Antergos: 81%
>Ubuntu GNOME: 75%
>Kubuntu: 75%
I like muh rolling release so Antergos it is.

Antegros, 94%

pretty neat, considering that I wanted to install it some time ago

>Debby 88%
>Slackware 81%
>ubuntu gnome 81%

>gentoo 69%

I'll install gentoo

You can edit Debian package rules however you like

Who came up with question11? Seems totally out of place

Yeah but I have no problem with any of them specifically. Maybe apt because sometimes Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

>71% kubuntu, which im using on my laptop
>71% SLACKWARE
what the fuck did you just say to me?

>Mageia: 81%
>Debian: 81%

Should i try Mageia?

Yes

#1 - Manjaro: 81%
#2 - Linux Mint: 75%
#3 - Kubuntu: 75%

Ubuntu.
Guess I picked correctly.

I used to like debian, but after the whole bullshit with ian, yeah.

Antergos: 88%
Mageia: 81%
Debian: 81%

Currently use gentoo....

I FINISHED SOME OF THE UNANSWERED QUESTIONS AND NOW ITS 80% SLACK
SHIT

>Arch Linux: 88%
>NixOS Linux: 81%
>Slackware: 81%
>Antergos: 81%

A lot of these questions are pretty arbitrary and stupid.

93%:
Mageia, Debian

86%:
Ubuntu GNOME, Slackware, Antergos, CentOS

79%:
NixOS, Ubuntu MATE, Kubuntu, Bedrock Linux, Gentoo Linux, OpenSUSE, Manjaro, Arch

Pretty accurate rankings considering I've tried most of these and I settled on Debian Unstable with GNOME.

Ubuntu. Feels good man.

Antergos?

Never heard of it, but I might give it a shot. Sounds neat.

In summary, it's rebranded Arch with an installer (it uses Arch's official repositories), and a few extra things from their own repos.

Perfect.

>Zorin OS 88%
what the hell is that distro,anyone here using it?

Dude, i got ubuntu 81%

>Zorin OS
Looks like an Ubuntu fork that tries to be a Windows replacement.

NixOS: 88%
Slackware: 88%
bedrock: 81%
Gentoo: 81%
Mageia: 81%
Arch: 81%
antergos: 75%
Debian: 75%

Right now, I have machines with Gentoo testing and Debian testing. I previously used Slackware and Arch for years at a time. NixOS interested me, but I haven't tried it. It probably would have given me a BSD if those were on here, even though I don't really use them anymore.

Antergos: 86%

It nailed it, but I asked myself a lot of those questions when I initially chose Antergos

>I want up to date software
>Slackware 81%
lol

>One question is the absolute factor in your answer
The up to date software question is probably why slackware has an 81%, with the rest pointing towards slackware. What were the rest of your answers?

Don't recall, probably the ones indicating technical competence with a computer and Linux.

>88% Kubuntu
makes sense
>88% Opensuse
what?
>81% Zorin
what?
>81% CentOS
This before Fedora?
>75% Fedora
This selector sucks

ubuntu 88%
kubuntu 81%
opensuse 81%
debuab 81%

i tried ubuntu and kubuntu and hated them. i'm using xubuntu. the only distro i'm considering switching to is manjaro xfce

I used Ubuntu for a few months, until Windows 10 corrupted the other partition and I couldn't get the system to start at all. But I still want to use some Linux distribution.I mean, after I started using Ubuntu I noticed the battery on my laptop has its wear level increased, so I started getting paranoid about ubuntu's battery management. Anyway, I'm thinking about trying Debian, because I want to immerse myself a little more into terminal commands... Is that a good idea?

tfw...

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Currently running Arch on my main system. Maybe I should give slackware a shot.

>Mangeia: 88%
>Slackware: 81%
>bedrock: 81%

Any folks here use Mangeia?
wanting to try bedrock, seems cool.

>bedrock
from its website, is that some kind of meta-OS that facilitates interactions between every other distros components?

Already setting up a VM, using portage and being able to run non free software in an debian package seems really interesting.

Zorin OS: 94%
Ubuntu: 94%
I use Windows currently.

zorin is explicitly designed for people coming from windows.

Ubuntu Gnome was my first choice

heh I went with my current mood since I am lazy and prefer shit to work out of box. if it was a year ago it would have been totally different

NixOS Linux: 93%
Arch Linux: 93%
Slackware: 93%

Using Void Linux

>recommends me opensuse after the first few questions
Fuck off.

It's dumb too because I CAN do all the shit myself but that doesn't mean I necessarily want to do it.

>the question about which package manager you want to use
Nigga if you already know which you prefer then you've clearly used enough distributions to know which you'd like.

Top lol

This test is actual garbage.
I've been using Arch as a daily driver for 10 years and it thinks I should use:
Slack (88%)
NixOS (81%)
Debian (81%)
Followed by Arch, Mageria and Gentoo also at 81%. Based on my answers Arch and Gentoo should be the two most compatible (I do run Gentoo, but not as a Daily Driver).

Question 11 is absolutely stupid and the test should not be asking you which package manager you want to use (or lack there of), but rather what sort of control (granular, etc etc) you want from/with your repository, third party repos, user repository, build from scratch.

Debian & Mageia 88%
Slackware 81%

Using Windows 10 ;)

same here, 81%

some questions were stupid and pointing to Debian like "I want to use apt"

I got antergos 81%
I guess its meant to be since I'm already using it

Ubuntu GNOME: 87%
Ubuntu MATE: 87%
Debian: 87%

Anything worth?

I'm more of a Fedora guy but it's ok.

lol

Is this a good distro? Willing to test it out

I never used linux but it pointed me to Debian.
What does it mean?

It gave me 88% Debian. I've been using xubuntu for well over a year now and I've installed arch in a VM so I feel like I can figure most shit out.

I just want to be able to play Dota 2 and maybe rice like a madman.

>Ubuntu GNOME: 88%
>Debian: 88%
>Ubuntu MATE 81%

I use MATE

>Ubuntu GNOME: 88%
>Debian: 81%

I use Debian 8.4.

OpenSUSE was number 1 then Fedora which is the one I use

I've never used Linux but I answered anyways and it gave me 88% Debian.
What does it mean?

dota works fine on linux

88% Debian, 88% Ubuntu Gnome, 88% Antergos. I use Debian, so I guess this is fine.

If you answered honestly, it's saying you'll probably like debian the most. Give it a try, it's a good distro.

Fedora which I do Use

>top 5 results are a *buntu

am i a fucking meme?

>no Devuan option

Just use Debian srs, Devuan will die someday soon.

Ubuntu GNOME: 81%
Mageia: 81%
Ubuntu MATE: 75%
Kubuntu: 75%

>4 out of 5 are based on ubuntu

Haha, how easy is it to tell I've used Windows all my life

>Arch: 88%
I guess I'll stick to arch.

same here

Antergos 88%
Oh wait, I'm already using it since almost a year... seems good

It makes me cringe seeing one of my fellow Germans creating such a great tool and fail miserably at grammar and spelling...
There are also a couple of answers that I don't agree with or which I think are wrong.

completely blows the whole thing. It's like in akinator when you think of a for example overwatch character and he asks if your character is from overwatch.
Also, if you know you want to use .deb you don't want to use a chooser like this.

A Windows look-alike based on Ubuntu.
A good choice for beginners that begs stupid questions like why "my .exe isn't sunming"

CentOS is considered more stable, or to put it differently less bleedig edge, than Fendora

Moving from binary based distro with dependency habdle to source based wthout will be a pain.

mageia every time

what is mageia even, I never see anyone talk about it

Slack and Debian are good choices as well, and NixOS even more.

The continuation of Mandriva, an old Red Hat fork. It is enterprise suitable akin to CentOS and Oracle Linux.

I never understand this logic:

>"are you good with computers?"
>"can you solve problems yourself?"

OK, so you should pick Gentoo!

Why?

I'm a programmer and can solve any problem, but I DO NOT WANT TO. I want everything to just work. I don't want to deal with OS shit.

The logic that "Oh, now you know a lot about Linux so you can move on from Ubuntu, you grew out of it" is completely bonkers.

Easy is always better than complicated.

There's NOTHING you cannot do in Ubuntu. Or OpenSUSE (what I currently use). You can code a kernel in C while in Ubuntu. NASA uses Ubuntu. Google uses Ubuntu for their cutting-edge AI research.

You never "graduate" from an OS.

Simple OS = better OS.

Just works = how it should be.

Everything else is autism.

How can anyone think that "harder to use" is better? You feel more hard core? More manly?

Jesus Christ this is so adolescent.

Sorry for the rant.

...

Debian is always a good idea. But Ubuntu is based on Debian, so I think battery mnagement will be similar except if there were bad settings or something.

>Debian 88%
feels good

This is why Linus Torvalds once said that he couldn't install DEBIAN, let alone Gentoo. He wouldn't touch that shit with a ten foot pole. He just wants the OS to work so he can do the work he has to do.

So I guess Linus Torvalds is a "NEWB" for using distros like OpenSUSE & Fedora...

Really I think people who prefer "complicated" distros never did a thing in their life. Probably NEETs

I know "install gentoo" is a meme etc. but seriously people... create something of value... develop a good program. That is worth something, not autistically compiling your coreutils so your "ls" will show you the folder tree 0.00001 sec faster

You don't seem very bright, but Gentoo is not user friendly, but very developer friendly.

There is at least one experience and at least one ease-of-usage question. Which is why Debian, Fedora and Antergos also rank high. Ubuntu is basically customized Debian.

>distrochooser.de/?l=2

Nice try, NSA!

Hey Hans. How can you have time to shitpost after your gf asks you to prep so many bulls each day?

>developer friendly
You don't know what you're talking about.
Tell me one way in which Gentoo is more developer friendly than ANY other distro.

I'm not from Germany, you fatass.

so KDE = self contained experience? at any rate, i will stick with Fedora for now.

No reply, eh?
Tell me a little bit about your background as a developer.

KDE is a self-contained experience in the same way that going to toilet is a self-contained experience: you have to smell & inhale your own shit particles.

The assumption that Gentoo causes problems is dumb.

Welp. The whole reason I took the test is that I'm an indecisive little shit, and it actually shows in the result. It picked all 25 distros as "suitable", with the top being
Antergos
Arch
Bedrock
Debian

all at 69%. Sixty-nine.

This is kind of stupid. Some questions really need a "don't care" and asking for the preferred package manager doesn't really make sense.

Going to have to look into that NixOS thing. Never heard of it.

lolno

Devuan is simply Debian minus systemd. Most of what the devs do is make systemd-independent components where systemd is required. I think as long as people give a shit about "init freedom," Devuan will continue to exist.

heh thats kinda cool that this website accurately chose the one youd like the most!

Neither did I. Looks as though the site is shilling for it

Antergos :(

weird because ive tried it twice and hated it

does it use init?

The package manager seems awesome. But it doesn't have emerge's useflags, thus I probably won't be leaving gentoo for now.
But things like : nixos.org/nix/manual/#ssec-copy-closure really look great.

Idk. They list some bedrocklinux.org/faq.html#why_use_bedrock the second one is hilarious. Helping someone with Frankendebian? Reproduce the bug on your own machine with bedrock!

NixOS Linux: 87%
Arch Linux: 80%
Manjaro: 80%

I use Fedora.

Yeah. Nice features here and there, void, alpine - you name it. But one's better off using gentoo or debian. The thing that attracts me though in these lesser known distros is their friendly and enthusiastic community. E.g. Recently I visited an obscure distributions channel - and was greeted by its creator.

Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu MATE 88%

I got win 10: 100%, what do?

Purge botnet modules manually. Fifewall on router to prevent leakage

Greg KH uses Gentoo.

look at "all answers at one sight"
>I prefer using free software (gnu/gpl)
>only match is fedora
what

seems like a chill site for nixos

fuck this

I got Mageia and Slackware.

Luckily, I use Slackware.

Debian for both.

It's clear from your reply that you are a memer, not a developer.

>mfw I get Debian over arch
Lel that's humorous to me considering that it bothered me and I went back to arch.

I know a lot of people post this as a response but I think this has a long ways to go.

half the questions are about fixing issues haha yeah that seems about right for linux.

>i'm a developer
>i'm a developer

>ubuntu just works
>name ONE EXAMPLE
>>I name 3 examples
>your obviously a memer!!!
>no substance
Well you're probably not a great developer.

I use Arch, and this "decider" suggested it to me.

Debia 75%
Mageia 75% the fuck is mageia..
*buntu 75-69%

Fedora default repo is 100% free software. By default, fedora won't even come with MP3 codecs. Only reason why it isn't a free software foundation endorsed distro is because it ships with non free firmware to ensure hardware works with fedora. This isn't ran by the OS, but fsf won't tolerate even non free firmware.

>manjaro 94%
Already using it.

Shit's REALLY fucked. It considers fedora to be the only distro to help use only GPL software, even though e.g. gentoo is infinitely better in that regard.

It's really stable, sometimes pacman creates '.pacnew' files so you have to move over your changes to that file. But other then that, nothing wrong with it, I use it on my server as well as my desktop.

I use Fedora for everything but it recommended Mageia

Mageia is fedora: non-shit edition.

I also use Debian. Do you know the source codes for installing a web browser? Many attempts have failed.

Ubuntub 94â„…

The test is so full of shit. E.g. it doesnt know there is opensuse with bleeding edge software. Furthermore, it implies that open suse requires more than basic knowledge of computers (hardware presumably). Wtf?

It did guess the system I'm using, even though not the name. (87 percent or so)

Linux Mint 94%
Zorin OS 94%
Kubuntu 94%
Elementary OS 88%

Yeah seriously kek

It would be one thing if it was like "binary or source code packages?" but it basically asks "what distro do you want to use?" by asking about which distro-specific package manager you want to use, then gives you that as a result. And if you don't give a common answer for which package manager you'd prefer to use it spits out a bunch of shit like with Meanwhile it's all full of typos and shit.

shit/10 website

Open suse is also believed to not suit people who didnt have mac experience, wtf?

94% Kubuntu

Sounds good to me.

Pretty much same result here (usually on gentoo, trying out funtoo now).

What the fuck is
>13. Usage of Linux
>The distribution should be supported by game developers.

Does that mean the OS is specialized for game development? Or that the OS is developed by people who mainly develop games? Because I'm not so sure about that second one...

It means ubuntu/steamOS

man, I'm sick of reinstalling shit every 6 or 18 months just because canonical slaves are too retarded to make a rolling release distro. I'm using gentoo because, apart from the installation, its management is even simpler than the ubuntu's one. Also, fuck systemd.
>hurr durr I'm a developer
I'm a developer too, I got work to do, and I'm not dealing with ubuntu's reinstalling bullshit.

Ah, ok. Do games tend not to work as well, or not at all on other distros?

I work at the research division of a large software company. While everyone has ubuntu on our work laptops, we always independently disable updates first thing when we receive the laptop, because we're all aware that updates just break everything.

In my experience, gentoo is the only OS where it is safe to update as updates become available.

It's just buzzwords. Steam officially supports only ubuntu (steamos being (is it still?) basically just ubuntu with steam preinstalled), which really means it supports 99.9% of all GNU setups, but hey, buzzwords!

I agree with you. Especially if you're on the gentoo stable branch. I'm on the ~amd64 and I've experienced some minor package breakages (pretty rarely though) - but never ever seen or heard of similar shenanigans on the stable channel.

I'd like to see what will nixos become. The idea of having that kind of the package management attracts me.

Yes. I hear people find the management of nix to be complicated. I haven't really tried it myself because it doesn't yet have the packages I want, but I'm following nixos and guixsd to see what becomes of them.

>all this love for slackware
I'm...home lol

Tfw debian

>Question 8
>I prefer to use it for free.
>Everything is checked other than Tails
Is tails not free as in beer or what? Also ZorinOS includes a paid version as well.
>I would pay an amount of money if I get support.
>Only lists openSUSE
Doesn't Ubuntu allow a paid service so you can contact customer support at any time?

This question doesn't make much sense

Opensuse 88%
Kubuntu 81%
Fedora 81%

Something I haven't tried yet.After messing around with Gentoo and FreeBSD I might as well.

What is a pure GNU OS?

Accurate.

Silly quiz aside, I'm using Arch on my daily driver Latitude and Alpine on my (virtual) servers. I'd like to build a computer for once within a year. I like pacman and I'm obviously used to Arch's environment and reading its wikis (I'll probably still contribute); any other distros you guys think I should check out?

Goddamnit Radiohead album cover shoops always make me laugh

Well...

install bedrock, which allows you to use all distros

Fedora: 94%
KUbuntu: 88%
Zorin OS: 88%
Elementary OS: 88%

I use Fedora daily. Odd

1. Linux Mint 94%
2. Kubuntu 94%
3. ZorinOS 94%

Currently using: Ubuntu

lolz, Ubuntu is like 12th on my list

>implying those 3 aren't Ubuntu

Windows 10 100%

What did you answer?
"I want to be spied on constantly"
"I want to go to jail for having the wrong opinion"
and
"I like it when it breaks and there's no way to figure out why"
?

No

Ease of Use
I'm willing to pay for support
I don't give a fuck about privacy because I'm not a pedo

That kind of stuff

You must have hacked the site then, because ease of use automatically and permanently discards windows post-7 as options.

manjaro 88%
arch 88%
NixOS 81%
slackware 81%
antergos 81%
Used Arch quite a bit.
Haven't tried NixOS.
Don't see the point of Manjaro or Antergos.
>Is this site by some NixOS fanboi, because everybody seems to get that?

Nice font rendering you faggot

>Some people will start using NixOS on their desktop because of this
Can't wait.

After reading through this thread, I've decided this site is garbage and favors NixOS too much. Also the package manager question is pretty retarded.

"Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say."

NixOS was my top result, I would probably use GuixSD instead desu.

Mageia 94%
Slackware 88%
Centos 88%

Might try mageia.

Never heard of Bedrock Linux before, looks interesting though. Been looking for something to replace Ubuntu anyway.

I got 100% slackware, wvwn though i use funtoo.

>mint
>kubuntu
>zorin
>elementary

Using Mint right now, with mate.

Idk Bedrock looks really interesting to me. I've always hated how I have to pick between sets of packages. I love the AUR's patched and really niche packages but miss having the huge repos of debian or openSUSE. Bedrock seems like a solution.

I went the apt choice and ended up with Fedora as my top pick.

Aparently I should go with OpenSUSE

what's a good distro for a laptop? I heard that most laptops have battery issues once they run on linux

88% Kubuntu

That seems accurate because I have Lubuntu installed on my Chromebook & Odroid devices

ubuntu gnome
xubuntu
ubuntu
ubuntu mate
kubuntu
lubuntu
fucking anything ubuntu/debian based it recommends to me
doesn't surprise me seeing as I'm primarily a mac os user who wants something that works 99% of the time, and for the 1% of the time that it doesn't I don't have to dig through a bunch of bullshit to get the answer.

Mageia: 91%
Opensuse: 82%
Antegros: 82%

Currently using Manjaro (Which was also 82%) so this was... super helpful?

>ZorinOS
yeah nah

Antergos: 86%
Arch Linux: 86%
NixOS Linux: 79%
Manjaro: 79%
using Manjaro, feels pretty gud

I don't see "Do you want to play games?" question.
linax a shit

Debian: 81%
Mageia: 81%
Slackware: 75%
Ubuntu: 75%
Antergos: 75%
Ubuntu GNOME: 75%
openSuse: 75%
CentOS: 75% (wat)
NixOS Linux: 69%

Ubuntu GNOME 88%
Debian 88%
Kubuntu 81%

Same for me:

Debian 81%,
Kubuntu, Mageia, Antergos, Ubuntu Gnome 75%,
Nixos, Manjaro, Zorinos, Ubuntu Mate. Slackware, Arch, Opensuse, Ubuntu, Centos 69%

I'm gonna revisit a few questions and see if i get some better results

openSuse: 88%
Slackware: 81%
Kubuntu: 81%
Currently on Arch Linux.

Well, I'm using arch on my desk and debian on most of my servers. No surprise, but very interesting.

PC Linux OS - 81%
Kubuntu - 75%
Fedora - 75%

>Welcome!
What you are referring to as Linux Distributions are actually distributions of GNU/Linux. Linux is a kernel and not all distributions of the GNU system are using it. Please don't spead this mistake further.

>I want to use "apt" from debian.
>I want to use "pacman" from Arch Linux.
>I want to use "rpm", known from Red Hat/ Fedora Linux.
How should a newcomer know the difference between these?

>The distribution should be supported by game developers.
Retarded. There is no distribution where games have better support. A game that runs on Ubuntu will also run on Arch Linux, Debian or Gentoo.

>Some Distributions connect to online services until you disable it.
Which one? The only distro I know about which included spyware was Ubuntu, but it's opt-in now.

What if I want a stable base system (I only reboot every three years), but bleeding-edge developer tools (such as GHC 8 right now)?

it told me gentoo
am i cool now?

I run Debian.

Got the distro I'm using, antergos

Debian and Mageia 81 % followed by Slackware and Kubuntu 75 %

>accurately answer all questions
>it perfectly guesses the distro I'm using RIGHT NOW

>Arch Linux: 94%
>NixOS Linux: 88%
>Antergos: 88%

Already using Arch

Manjaro: 81%
Antergos: 75%
Arch Linux: 75%
NixOS: 69%

I use Arch on my desktop and Ubuntu on my laptop.
