As someone that uses Linux distros since 1995, I have had lots of joy getting it to work on various kinds of hardware, during weekends and long nights.
Ah the good old days. Investing an entire weekend to make your pci soundblaster card work. Nowadays you just install an iso from a thumb drive, it takes 30 mins and everything works out of the box. So boring!
Is there a consensus on the best ‘boring’ distro nowadays?
It’s been ~15 years since I last installed linux (Linux Mint on a netbook that couldn’t run the pre-installed Win7), and am now curious about repurposing a gaming PC for software development.
