Distribution quotes of the week

Ultimately Gentoo is working together to produce a product. If it is a product that you want to use, then use it. If it is a product that you don't want to use, please contact us for a full refund, and consider contributing to somebody who makes a product that you do want to use. That's why we have 4000 linux distributions and not one. There is no rule saying we can have only one source-based distro either, we certainly don't have just one binary distribution. Of late, I'm not convinced that a lot of newer Gentoo users even care that it is source-based. There is also no rule saying that we can only have one distro that doesn't require running systemd... :)

A few months after joining, someone figured out that to pgp signatures to be useful, keys need to be cross-signed. Hence young me taking a long bus trip from countryside Finland to the capital Helsinki to meet the only other DD in Finland in a cafe. It would still take another two years until I met more Debian people, and it could be proven that I'm not just an alter ego of Lars ;)

It'd be nice to have the newest of the newest of everything in a Debian stable release. That seems to be incompatible with actually making a stable release.

I knew it as soon as I crowned Fedora 25 the best distro of 2016—I was going to hear about it from Linux Mint fans.

How could I proclaim the best distro of the year before the latest version of Mint arrived? There's nothing like some guy on the Internet overlooking your favorite distro to make the hairs in your neckbeard start twitching angrily [/sarcasm]. I understand, it happens to me every time someone fails to recognize that Arch is the best distro of every year.
