Arch Linux has won the Torvalds and Stallman award!

[Takuya Saitoh]

Linus Torvalds awarded Arch Linux as the most consumer friendly distribution

Arch Linux has won the Free Software Award for the Most Consumer Friendly Linux Distribution. Aaron Griffin received the award from Richard M. Stallman and Linus Torvalds at the LibrePlanet conference at the University of Massachusetts, Boston.

* How to install the award winning Arch Linux

"The purpose of a GNU distribution is to make it easy for users to use their system. It's a stupid idea to force your users to compile everything from scratch," said Linus Torvalds at the event. If you think your users are going to compile everything, only compilers will use your software."

Arch Linux beat Gentoo this year. Last year Gentoo won the coveted "Most User friendly Linux Award."

"I think Arch was the best choice this year as it respects user's freedom and keeps its repositories free from any proprietary or non-free packages. Arch-GNU/Linux was our first choice because it discourages practices like DRM or Tiviozation. I think other distributions should follow Arch's principles. If you can't respect freedom, go release your sex-tapes or commit suicide, please leave the morbid GNU/Linux world alone," added Linus.

When someone from the crowd asked Linus about Ubuntu, he said, "I think Ubuntu crowd is a bunch of masturbating monkeys obsessed with the KISS principle, forcing users to use the stupid command line."

Richard M Stallman congratulated Arch for their achievement but also pointed out the areas where he thinks Arch needs improvement, "Arch's lack of support of DRM and binary blobs are the only areas where I see hurdles in the wide-spread adoption of Linux. We have elevated the DRM implementation project at FSF to boost work on it. Today Arch is the second most popular operating system and this gap is only due to Arch's bad philosophy of pure Open Source software. I think they should start offering proprietary and patented applications in their repositories."

Gentoo Linux won the second spot and CRUX Linux grabbed the 3rd spot as the most user-friendly distribution of the year. Ubuntu and Linux Mint could not even qualify for the award due to their overly complicated Unity and Cinnamon interfaces.

I'm using Linux based Operating Systems since 1999

Using Ubuntu as my primary OS since 1997 (Feisty Fawn). Please show me
(based on *facts*) what's wrong with Ubuntu?

Nothing important. Just that your release dates are somewhat off.

Feisty Fawn was released April 19 2007, not in 1997

And using linux since 1999 but having Feisty Fawn Ubuntu as major OS since
1997 (2 years earlier) sounds like Snit Slimeball

What does Linus know, after all? He was not able to install Debian, whereas Moi started out with Debian.

I do NOT compile anything in Mint!!!

Linus' concept of consumer are the 50 key programmers on his Linux Kernel development team.

Moi has a slightly different definition of consumer.

It is a Spoof, Ass-Hole!

Moi passed over the same article just the other day, when I could not locate the winner for 2016. It is a spoof, Linux tard.

Why some people publish such crap is beyond me.

I downloaded and made a USB Image of Ubuntu 16.04 and tried it out for
several hours yesterday. I actually got to where I didn't mind (wouldn't
exactly say "liked") Unity. I didn't know you could hide "panel" (or
whatever it's called in Unity) -- and you can also now send it to the
bottom of the screen. It worked "out of box," and makes me wonder if I
should look more closely at Cinnamon (which runs on Gnome 3).

A few days earlier I tried LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition). I liked it,
but installing a couple applications I use (Everpad -- or NixNote -- and
Trelby) didn't take. And I ran into some other issues. I'm sure I could
have figured it out, but Ubuntu (and its many derivatives) certainly
makes using Linux easy.

Unity is an acquired taste. First time I used it I absolutely did not
like it. Over the last couple years it has grown on me. I'm totally fine
with it. rhel is my preferred distro however, I do use Ubuntu quite a bit
too.

Nice article but all are *personal preferences* nothing more or less.

* Unity can be replaced by any desktop shell or desktop environment;
* You don't have to use Ubuntu One, oh wait, it's already deprecated;
* Never used Software Center, still using Synaptic.

Can't change that Ubuntu is descended from Debian Testing (AKA "beta").
"Testing" is what virtual machines are for.

Linux tard!

Moi has ZERO interest in communicating with a retard, nor do I care about conversing with Liars, Computer Idiots, those clueless about googling, Health Morons, or Linux tards.

Linux tards are really a work of art. They either are lying through their teeth, or they are too stupid to actually figure out what is going on. No, the Linux tard simply prefers to mindlessly pass along incorrect information about the one true Linux.

[Desk Rabbit]

We get it, you like to delve into the depths of your operating system
and enjoy the power you can leverage, but most people just want to get a
task done quickly and easily, just like most people want to get in a car
and drive to work and home but equally there are those who like to pull
their car to pieces and tune and mod the living daylights out of it.

Forcing everyone to be a car mechanic/nut is just as daft and futile as
forcing everyone to use a Linux command line.

Arch is a very good distribution -- just more work than I want/need to
put into a Linux install at this point of my life. That "dumb-ass" Linux
Mint is incredibly easy to install and maintain. There's a reason
(reasons) why Ubuntu-based distributions are so popular.

[vallor]

Does insanity run in your family?

Personally, I used Red Hat Linux since the Halloween release, then Fedora
Core 1-whenever, and then Fedora on up to some ungodly number...and got
tired of the freaking "we have to be completely free" rat race.

You know what I'm talking about -- enabling rpmfusion and hoping they
have the software you want. Simple things, like gawdamned mp3 codecs.

Even worse, I discovered that in Fedora, they had intentionally crippled
openssl. Not just in the binary packages, but they had made it so the
SRPM couldn't be compiled with elliptical curve crypto enabled. I needed
that crypto for a project, and Red Hat (not "the community", but _Red
Hat_) had ripped the code right out of openssl for "legal reasons" that
were wholly unfounded.

That's when I realized being "tough guy Linux honcho" wasn't working for
me. Fsck that. I looked around and found the most complete Linux system
I could find, one that I wouldn't have to hunt around for pieces. Linux
Mint fit the bill, and I've never looked back.

The difference between you and me, Fabio, is that I get real, productive
work done with my Linux system, because I'm not constantly tinkering with
the underpinnings.

Don't get me wrong -- I _do_ wrench on my kernel, but on *my* terms...
not because of some O/C drive to hot rod a computer.

If you want to soup-up your system, more power too you -- but don't
pretend that makes you somehow better than people who have opted for more
simplicity in their life. Some people drive hot-rodded T-buckets, and
some people drive Cadillacs.

Finally, I see elsewhere that you lamenting that you aren't a systems
programmer. Well, what are you waiting for? Christmas?

Get thee to the Documentation directory in your latest kernel tree, and
start reading. I highly recommend Documentation/RCU for starters,
because you'll get to learn about a great area of innovation in Linux
that you've probably never heard of.

Point your browser at your version of:

<file:///home/OS/linux-4.6-rc5/Documentation/RCU/whatisRCU.txt>

In fact, there's a design document in there:

Unity. Mir. SystemD. That spyware stuff. Pushing out betaware a little
too soon. Canonical has a rather bad NIH problem and a strange split-brain
problem when it comes to commercial bits like full h264 support and binary
video drivers.

If anything, they should be the distro that sorts all of those sorts of
things out for you to the point of having a payware version if necessary.

Something like Mint should be the payware version of Ubuntu desktop
and include a sanctioned DVD player (or even BluRay player).
