What is the worst Linux distribution? The one you just tried out but it didn't work out for you and you just found out after 8 hours of happy testing and now all that time was wasted.

Funny, sad, and true.

Lunduke is a notorious egotist. He's most famous for a series of videos called "Linux Sucks" where he complains about every little problem anyone has ever had with Linux. Occasionally he has relevant topics to discuss.

I'd agree that Lunduke seems like he thinks too highly of himself (if you've seen his self-aggrandising tales of his role at Microsoft you'll see what I mean), but I disagree with regards to the "Linux Sucks" videos.

Those videos don't really complain about Linux. The whole premise of that series is that he'll rubbish Linux for 30 minutes and then spend the next 30 minutes explaining why those deficiencies are actually great. It's a good premise, but most of the criticisms are quite shallow - it's mostly stand-up comedy rather than an informative show.

I know. Exploiting Linux users' defensiveness is a cheap trick to get attention. Clearly it works.

Yep.

IMHO there's no best or worst distro. It's all really personal taste. Making a video about the worst distro is really childish

Did you even watch it?

There's lots of information there.

Spent the better part of two days trying to figure out why Mint 19 suddenly wouldn't print on my Brother HLL8350CDW which has worked flawlessly for years. Turned out to be a CUPS problem.
