What's the best OS to get shit done?

Install & forget

get shit done

loo nix

Ubanto. You get all the bash goodies but without the linux autism.

ubuntu
without linux

sasuga

I approve of "getting shit done"
any unix-like distro will do, since you can reconfigure it however you want
for example, my ubuntu came with gnome but I found it too wasteful and changed it to kde
in the end it's all software

«without linux autism», you dolt.

>>6

all the bash goodies

bash isn’t autism but based

t. nt fan

Fecal OS is best for getting feces done.

>>7
do you have mental retardation?

It depends.

Ubuntu or Mint if you're not retarded

Zorin OS if you're a normie

Windows 10 if you're a corporate slave

macOS if you're a hipster or your daddy is rich

Debian / Arch if you're autistic

TempleOS

Having run out of answers my only option is to retreat into ad hominem.

I am very worried about LoseThos/TempleOS. It wasn't exactly made to get shit done but there was a program tapping into God's wisdom. You may remember Terry flooding w4c's /prog/ with God's words.
Glowniggers and Satanists have now forked TempleOS to break this divine functionality and add useless TCP/IP stack and other sinful features. Where can I find an untouched ISO?

Anyone that says anything but Windows XP is a hipster

Be silent, Turk.

OP reporting in.
Still haven't done shit because I've installed every single distro under the sun before realizing that the first reply, >>2, was the wisest. Ubuntu just works out of the box, you barely have to configure anything and you can just start getting shit done.
The problem was that the default wallpapers and icon theme were too purple-ish and had something a bit african in them. I didn't pay much attention at first but I started to have random panic attack and wasn't doing shit at all.
I foresaw myself lurking /c/ for months making wallpapers and icons from random images to give ubuntu a less stressful atmosphere and thought I'd never even start doing shit. I was totally depressed but THEN I stumbled upon MOEBUNTU. It's just like Ubuntu so you can ask for help on freenode but it's already riced with cute papes! http://moebuntu.web.fc2.com/home_eng.html Finally. The PERFECT distro for getting shit DONE.

My ``wallpaper'' is solid black, why would you even be looking at it in the first place?

I hate niggers.

I LOVE Ubanto.

MS-Dubs 6.22 

The one that boots into Emacs fastest.

Guix, Alpine or FrozenVoid Linux then.

I used to use GuixSD, but I had a few issues. I had to build everything because i386, which took forever. Not really the projects' fault, since a lot of stuff needs libraries that just aren't usable on i386 anymore, and that's true of every distribution; actually, guix was better because I could revert to older versions of software that didn't need those libraries (specifically, some libraries mpv used and some haskell libraries pandoc needed to build). Still such a pain to build. In GuixSD, if your root is in a luks partition, you need to decrypt the partition twice, once in grub (and grub's implementation is very slow) and once thereafter; furthermore, in the former, it doesn't retain the keymap you specify in your OS declaration. I've read some of the newsgroup threads suggesting you could sidestep the second prompt with a keyfile, but that doesn't fix the keymap issue. This is the same with Debian. I'm not sure how other distros get around this issue, since I know they don't have that problem, but I find NixOS works fine with respect to this issue. I think the biggest issue is that you can't mount btrfs partitions with mounting options; e.g. you can't mount subvolumes. I feel bad complaining about bugs since I know I should be an accommodating , but the latter two issues I don't really know how to solve.

I considered Alpine, too. It's very fast, and use-package means my dot-emacs is semi-portable, which is good, but I ultimately skipped it. It's been a long time, so I can't remember the specifics, but I think I just had a lot of issues with their build of Emacs, since I think they build everything with musl. It may have been that it was old. I also think I had a hard time getting EXWM to work, for some reason, but that may not be the case anymore.

I use NixOS right now, which is fine. I still use GuixSD, but not to the lengths that I use NixOS. I even have NixOS on my router; it's just got a size-able-enough package base and a mature-enough declaration system to just work™. Even though I don't really like Nix, declarative package management makes life super easy.

I plan to adopt Guix as a daily driver but your post isn't encouraging. What Guix is lacking is users. What else can I do then? I must endure the pain.
I'm still trying to figure out what I will be missing and if there's (for me at leat) a real deal breaker. I won't have your hardware restrictions though. Compiling from sources would have been a deal breaker. How come you're still using an i386 machine? Is it for security reasons or you just don't see the point of throwing away a perfectly usable machine?

>>28
I mean, bugs and lack of polish aren't issues which are necessarily indicative of the long-term state of a software project. Presumably GuixSD will support btrfs subvolumes eventually. With alpha software, when you're not a proactive contributor to the project, it's a binary of whether or not the existing functionality suits your present needs, and, if it doesn't, beggars can't be choosers.

Compared to other projects, Guix has a lot of users. Maybe not a big surplus like a software project pandering to lay-users in the form of desktop applications (that's where all the money is), but it will always have a guaranteed userbase, because Guix is pretty much the only contemporary project spearheading the GNU project. And the FSF is just grateful they're not producing vaporware for a change.

I never looked into cross-compiling on Guix. They're might be a solution for that and I never even realized.

"Security", lol. The latter. I don't have any i686 Thinkpads, and I'm trying my best not to be a Thinkpad hoarder. It sucks to be wasteful, especially since you should really need less the more you know what you want. I don't know, I just feel gross and shameful pondering throwing out my old hardware just because it doesn't suit modern expectations for software. That's like throwing a paraplegic in a gas chamber even though they're a very good mathematician. A regular user might need a DE like Gnome to feel comfortable getting everything they need done, but that obviously takes far more resources than just plain Emacs, which is what I mostly use. I'm tempted to buy the Pinebook Pro. I don't want to buy a new i686 computer, since ARM is clearly on the way in. I need something that only needs a free wireless driver, but trackpads literally gross me out. My disgust is only seconded by chiclet keyboards. It infuriates me that people actually use trackpads, because they're so stupid. I always disable them in BIOS. In my conservancy, I am paradoxically picky.

I have this Power Macintosh G4 sitting right in front of me right now, collecting dust, unusable because I need to buy a new PATA HDD, but I can't rationalize spending money on something when I know I'll literally never ever use the computer beyond 30 minutes of me playing with the PowerPC architecture and then getting bored, and yet I can't give it away.

Silly materialism. Computers are sand.

Some time a ago someone gave me an old Mac Mini G4 but another person stole the hard disk that was laying on my desk(!). I faced the same dilemma. Ended up buying a cheap Chinese IDE to SD Card connector. But same thing also with the boredom after 30 minutes of use. OpenArena was running fine on Debian and I really liked Open Firmware but well..

You're lucky you never have to run things you don't like on your personal computer. I can't afford to say "hey sorry, there's no Android Studio on i386" or "oops no Visual Studio and SQL Server on my ARM netbook" So the things I don't like usually run on virtual machines or containers.

That Pinebook is nice though because it's thin, has a beautiful screen and you can carry it everywhere.

Materialism != consumerism
Ironically, saying computers are sand is a very materialistic perspective.
