list of OSes I've installed successfully on *something* and actually used it for more than a "huh, that was interesting" or an experiment: OpenSUSE (starting around 10.2, up to semi-recent stuff) Ubuntu (nearly all versions since 7.04, but definitely every Server LTS at least once, plus Kubuntu, Lubuntu and Xubuntu at least twice or thrice each) Debian (several versions, but mostly wheezy, squeeze and jessie) SmartOS (twice, dedis, used in production for nearly a year for my primary dedi) OpenSolaris (once on a laptop - it was bad; a few brief forays on servers)
Oh, and I ran Hurd for about three weeks after Richard Stallman gave a lecture at my university. I got tired of it not supporting basic things like USB and went back to Linux.
I've had experience with Gentoo, completing an installation from stage 3 onto a Hyper-V virtual machine. I got tired of the high maintenance requirements, as package updates were both time-consuming and very demanding of system resources.
I've used Ubuntu, Kali, Knoppix, and Fedora as well (the latter was an "administration nightmare") due to its instability.
Once Astaroth is a reality (and it's only a matter of time at this point), I'll probably spend more time exploring different operating systems through virtualization. 32 GB of RAM and 6 cores should offer plenty of headroom.
I've used every major release of Windows since 98, DOS, every LTS Ubuntu since 2013, the last two LTS Ubuntu servers, every release of Kali, CentOS (briefly), the last four or five MacOS/OSX releases (for short periods of time), Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Debian (again, very briefly), every release of iOS since version 2, every Android version since Gingerbread.
Backbox OS, tried several distros of GNU/Linux live because I used to get them with a magazine, most versions of raspbian, other OSs for Raspberry Pi
Ugh. People are dumb. We had a dying bird outside work. We were keeping an eye on it, called the local rescue and.... The cleaner threw it into a large bag of trash :(
@Rahul2001 similar to using server versions on daily use, there's a difference on security
and reliability
server versions are much, much more locked up, and are much more reliable (because of that). While the latter is good for all, the former is why it's not used as commonly by normal users.
@tereško sorry I don't get you. Most of the mods I've encountered are quite capable. As Journeyman said it's not that often that a download link is included in a link at all.
@JourneymanGeek well, I spend most of my time in PHP chat, which is really good for keeping track of latest news and getting general advice ... then again, SO's php chat room is something of an oddity, since it contains like like half of the active core contributors
@Bob got a simple http server set up now, using JS to redirect http to https. Not the best solution, but it'll have to do till I can get a decent software
The science of readability is by no means new, and some of the best research comes from advertising works in the early 80s. This information is still relevant today.
First up is this quote from a paper titled “Improving the legibility of visual display units through contrast reversal”. In presen...
> People with astigmatism (aproximately 50% of the population) find it harder to read white text on black than black text on white. Part of this has to do with light levels: with a bright display (white background) the iris closes a bit more, decreasing the effect of the "deformed" lens; with a dark display (black background) the iris opens to receive more light and the deformation of the lens creates a much fuzzier focus at the eye.

@Avery video standards generally aren't terrible, but your stuff still doesn't work. So check which parts are following the standards properly and what are not, and try to replace the bits that are not.
