I can't even feel superior to everyone when theirs so many arch installers!! I use real arch btw. I thought "I guess I should go to Gentoo" but then wait, CHROMEOS IS A GENTOO INSTALLER!

I feel like we only have two options now

  1. Ascend to BSD-land
  2. Ironically supporting Windows Unironically

edit: I have decided to replace my debian laptop with BSD

    This is the actual only correct answer. Plan9 is unix but better and with an animal pet like Linux.

    NixOS is the new Arch. I'm surprised nobody here has said they use it yet.

    NixOS user here; please do not recommend NixOS.

    GNU Guix with the GNU Hurd kernel? A full GNU/GNU system, or GNU + GNU.

    There's always LFS.

    But if you really wanna bail on tux, Haiku, Plan 9, or ReactOs

    Run exclusively self made programs

    Need a calculator? Program one and compile it

    Well, within reason

    Plan9, then you can smugly say Unix systems are sooo legacy.

    I remember the BeOS guys doing a demo at my LUG before they release the BeBox (or whatever their computer was called). That OS was so ahead of it's time. There were about 200 of us just gasping at how good it was and what it could do. Actually using BeOS on a PowerPC ended up being an on ramp for me to Linux. By the time Haiku came out, life was too busy and I was too entrenched in Linux. Maybe now that I'm retired I'll take a look at it.

    Open source Windows obviously. https://reactos.org/

    All these recent Windows to Linux converts, whining about how Linux should be more like Windows, should be going to ReactOS. They want open source Windows, not open source Unix.

    Haiku. It's a reimplementation of BeOS.

    Alternatively, you could use ReactOS and make it look as windows-like as possible, and then go and post on Windows support forums with solutions to problems that work for ReactOS but not for actual Windows, and then play dumb while calling them dumb when it doesn't work for them.

    I use arch btw.

    You get an ARM or RISCV machine to run Linux on obviously. Then you shit on the plebs with their legacy systems.
    You also need PostmarketOS on your phone of course.

    Obviously, you need to get BSD on a computer without any proprietary firmware.

    Everyone saying nixos the next arch but we are all traumatized so we dont even recommend it /hj. But actually dont use it, youre gonna give up or spend hundreds of hours crafting the perfect deployable system which youre never gonna deploy on anything other than your single laptop that has nixos.

    Make your own, coward. No distro so niche as one that has half a user because it's hardly usable.

    Now you have to move on to obscure open source hardware. Linux phone and/or a RISC-V computer
