Obviously it's arch, since it's so minimal, and since it is so simple and lightweight. I really love Arch. I feel like I really learned a lot about GNU/Linux when installing arch, I am sure I can be a sysadmin now lol, of course it has it's flaws. But overall it is the best distro ever made, you really can't find a better distro ever.

Depends on what you want, and your level of skill. Are you familiar and confident with the Linux kernel? Try Arch. Do you want a Windows 7 Ultimate replacer? Linux Mint is your man. Do you want the CIA and NSA to know everything you're doing? Try Ubuntu.

I am actually on Fedora, I only made this post because reddit was down as /u/oiseaulibre said. However I was hoping this community was atleast active.
Also I've been on arch for quite a while before, it's ok but it's not GREAT, as archfags usually tend to say.

/v/Linux is a lot more active than this sub. I love the voat community way more than the 4 years I spent on reddit. I came over here almost 2 years ago and haven't left.

Yeah you joined this site at around the same time as I did. But I've spent ~4 years on reddit, and I only visit a handful of subs r/linuxmasterrace r/pcmasterrace (to get some cancer) and a couple of subs like that. And I don't know if voat has the type of cancer I need
oiseaulibre ago
It's extra cancerous right now. Come check it out on a normal day.
Zawaken ago
Of course it is extra cancerous right now, makes sense. since plebbit is down and all, but it's the cancer I'm after

Oh, you don't know the shitshow we can have here. The voat meta is the best out of any site I've been a part of. You should have seen the chat when we could post inline pictures. r i p those were the days...
Zawaken ago
Shitposts are the most beautiful thing there is. And I'll try out voat for a few days.
oiseaulibre ago
Voat, has a much higher rate of shitposts than I experienced on reddit. It's like reddit fucked the chans and we're the product of that.
Zawaken ago
That's great!
Side Note: is there something like RES (Reddit Enhancement Suite) for Voat?

v/ave works but its maintainer stopped dev on it. It still works for a lot of things apparently. I don't use it so I'm going off what others say. You can turn on dark mode by clicking the lightbulb icon up top right of the page or permanently by going to the gear icon and finding the setting there.

Nothing currently exists. I asked that question just this week.
oiseaulibre ago
I know there is something, but I don't use it.
This might be it, but I don't think it is: /v/ves
@kevdude and @mick, IIRC I think one of you was telling me about voat enhancements...?
Zawaken ago
tbqh, all I really wanted was a night mode, so that I didn't have to look at the horrible white background. But I'd take a look at /v/ves or whatever the smartlads were talking to you about
oiseaulibre ago
I wouldn't call @kevdude and @mick smart... although, they do control the voat meta narrative.
You hear that (((SBBH))), the people of voat are onto you! :)
Zawaken ago
wat?
Well, maybe they aren't smart. but they seem to know more about this /v/ves thing.
oiseaulibre ago
Yeah, they should be able to answer any questions you have. I pinged them earlier in the thread so they will see it whenever they get on.
Zawaken ago
Yeah thanks :)
