“And another thing, for those of you who love to beat
it into people’s heads that your distribution is superior to
someone else’s. It’s not. Yes, it may be in some respects on some
hardware, but as one of my forum members once said, “If it doesn’t
work for you, you’re using the wrong distro.”“Put simply, not every distro will work for everyone, or on
every kind of hardware. I’ve had people rave about Puppy Linux. I
couldn’t ever get it to behave for me. (Bad dog! Bad! Bad! *woof!*)
Yet there have been others who have found Puppy to be the perfect
distro for them. Why? It worked well on the hardware they had, even
though it didn’t for me, likely because my hardware was too new,
since Puppy specializes in older hardware.“Same goes for PCLOS. I like PCLOS. And despite the few
stumblings they’ve had over the past couple of years, I still like
them. I *prefer* Mint, but I also like the generic KDE interface of
PCLOS. But that doesn’t mean my hardware did. Case in point. My
desktop loves PCLOS. My laptop despises it. So when choosing a
distro for both of them, I took the one that worked well on both
machines. That just happened to be Mint.”
