Fuckin love ubuntu despite knowing it's a cold take. How about that dogshit?
Oh snap
The snap infrastructure is indeed what some object to the most.
That’s why I finally switched away from it. Currently doing a stint with Fedora 40 on my laptop; it’s pretty slick.
Im of the opinion that the distro is far less important than the Desktop Environment. Ubuntu only really "feels like Ubuntu" because of GNOME.
Most of what differentiates a distro from another is one of:
The rest well… it’s Linux.
I’d argue it’s just the first two. Systemd gets a lot of hate but many don’t notice the difference between distros with or without it
Definitely, I don't really like Ubuntu that much even though it's my go-to. What I like is Xfce. Whether I get it via xubuntu or something else I don't really care.
I'm done with Ubuntu, after it had glaringly obvious bugs in 4 seperate releases right after booting the default install.
I'm talking, system starts and the first thing you see is a crash message. Or the DE locking up. Or the software center throwing an error when you try to install a program. Or Firefox telling you it can't restore your tabs, when you just started it for the first time. etc.
Debian used to be more of a hassle to set up, but nowadays I think it's one of the highest quality distros available. It really just works.
Arch is also very good, and never broke on me in a decade, but what it does do is change stuff on you constantly, and I'm getting too old for that.
Snap tho
Ha same here. I'd try something else but I really just cba to start again on my server and desktop.
