What secrets your Linux distro reveals about you

The decision for a specific Linux distribution goes far beyond technical aspects and often reflects the personality and preferences of the user. Each distro has its own strengths, weaknesses and peculiarities that appeal to different user groups. In this article, we'll take a closer look at some of the most popular Linux distributions and what choosing a particular distro might say about its users.

I don't agree with your take on Debian.

Debian is for people who place a strong emphasis on stability, even to the point of forgoing newer features and using a slightly older, and more tested base. The Debian repositories are also huge, so compiling from source is rarely, if ever needed. Additionally the importance placed on free software has become less pronounced in Debian over the years, with non-free firmware now being installed by default, which as a Debian user is a welcome change in my opinion.

Arch is Individualist? The forums are full of morons, yes but it's a community driven distro. Even if it's a large portion of bad apples
