quoting Rhetorica:Wow. Such mono, very culture. Part of the joy of distros is being able to put up with all of them at once. Anthologica runs SUSE, CM.net runs Arch, and my work machines are (mostly) Ubuntu... Except for SciNet, which is CentOS. Out of all the systems I've used at worked with, I think SLES (Enterprise SUSE) is the only truly awful one; their repos aren't quite complete enough to accomplish arbitrary tasks.

I tried SUSE but I had problems with it running crazy slow (on my VM) or not starting (on my second box).
quoting Nessari:Synaptic isn't even installed in Ubuntu anymore. It's still in the repos, but it's been sent to the Not Automatically Installed pile.
At any rate, Synaptic is using a washing machine, apt-get is handwashing clothing.
I wish I had that option. They're all Windows XP or 7. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO ENTER UNICODE CHARACTERS FFS AND THIS IS TWENTY-FOURTEEN

But not on a work computer

Nort's scared me away from Arch for life most likely. I really haven't looked into SUSE for…3-4 years now, from when I first switched to Linux all but full-time. And I don't switch often because it's such a fight to relearn how everything happens; I am extremely dependent on habit and knowing what to expect ahead of time in order to handle things. I know this is a bad thing, but I've only ever been able to break it while being extremely on the move, ie trips…if I'm somewhere for longer than a week, it takes back over.
That got a bit meta, but it's still applicable I think.
