Ubuntu rule

Just use Lesbian?

If you're running Ubuntu as a server this is useful advice.

If you're running Ubuntu as a desktop, just install Fedora instead..

Or Mint which is pre unsnapped for your pleasure
- Mint is a solid choice, but I really like KDE and Fedora saves me the hassle of switching DEs after install.
  
  But yes, for most Ubuntu users, switching to Mint is a capital idea.
Naah fedora = red hat and red hat = bad. I’m all in on Vanilla OS.
- OpenSUSE Tumbleweed moment (although I'm still on Fedora on my primary device because moving is inconvenient while at school)
- Except red head is profit driven but fedora is conmunity driven and open source
- Red Hat are no better or worse than Canonical at the end of the day. If you're dead set on avoiding anything with corporate backing, I guess switch to Gentoo or something.

I'm not up to date on my Linux drama, what's wrong with Snap?

Slow, forced. Flatpack is better.
- Huh, guess when I eventually end up back on Linux I'll stay away from Ubuntu then. I assume it's in things like Xubuntu and so on too?
It's centralized and controlled by Canonical, it enforces updates and you can't disable it, sometimes when you uninstall snapd it cames back when you apt update and most importantly, it is painfully slow.
- Oh so it's the exact kind of enshittification that anyone on Linux went there to escape. Sounds like a deal breaker to me.
- So it’s not about snap, it’s about canonical- and they are why I’m no longer an Ubuntu user. Debian > any downstream distro
- Yeah, sounds extremely shitty. It'd be fine if they didn't force it

whem/if i do get a computer i'm thinking of dualbooting windows and linux mint (since the only computer I have is a school laptop that runs windows)

That's how I started out! It was a pretty decent experience.

However, I would rate Debian as a slightly better choice over Mint. You see, Mint is a fork of Ubuntu (which is a fork of Debian). So when I needed to troubleshoot an issue, instead of just googling "Linux Mint [my issue]", I actually sometimes had to google "Ubuntu [my issue]", or even "Debian [my issue]", depending on the situation. This is because Mint and Ubuntu share large similarities with Debian, but with certain particular differences; for any given situation, I didn't necessarily know which differences played a role. This is actually why I switched to Debian; I figured, my experience was going to be basically exactly the same, just with more straightforward troubleshooting.

If you're worried about user-friendliness, then the good news is that's largely to do with your desktop environment (GNOME, KDE, Cinnamon, etc). Whichever one you pick, it will pretty much feel the exact same no matter whether the underlying distro is Debian, Ubuntu, or Mint. Especially because they're all Debian-based.

Is that famous cappy-blappy name of gort???

Any other distro moment(just use debian if you dont care its stable for everyone ik)

Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In My Lane. Focused. Flourishing.
