Green ubuntu is better

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 43 points 10 months ago

As is Luigi, it all makes sense!

I prefer Green Ubuntu's minty smell.

[-] tourist@lemmy.world 87 points 10 months ago

I love that the font is consistent. Someone went the extra mile for this meme.

[-] cygnus@lemmy.ca 23 points 10 months ago

It's weird, because Linux users aren't known for being pedantic...

[-] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Nope, never...

[-] KrankyKong@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

I think they copy-pasted the individual letters from the other words. Impressive really.

the promised ubuntu, ubutu if it was good even

[-] Synthuir@lemmy.ml 20 points 10 months ago

So Debian is Wario, and LMDE is Waluigi?

As a LMDE user, I’m okay with this.

[-] Nimrod@lemm.ee 6 points 10 months ago

What are the actual differences between Ubuntu mint and Debian Mint? I’ve been using the former for a while now, but I just started exploring plain Debian (and kinda loving it). All this talk about Debian Mint is making me get the distro itchy foot.

[-] averagedrunk@lemmy.ml 5 points 10 months ago

is making me get the distro itchy foot.

They make a powder for that.

[-] kautau@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

Do you apply it to the Arches of your feet

[-] averagedrunk@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

Goddammit, you brilliant bastard.

[-] palordrolap@kbin.social 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Ubuntu is based on Debian anyway, so LMDE cuts out the middle-man so to speak.

The release scheduling is different, as are kernel updates (I think. Haven't used regular Mint in years now) and anything specifically Ubuntu isn't there, not that I can actually point to anything specific there.

If you've a particular distrust (however vague) of Canonical or aren't keen on their decisions about what goes into Ubuntu (and what doesn't), using LMDE might be worth a shot. Likewise if you just like to be different.

For everyday daily driver business, there's not a lot to choose between them.

For everyday daily driver business, there’s not a lot to choose between them.

Unless you have an Nvidia GPU cause LMDE lacks the neat driver installer (easy upgrade AND downgrade between driver versions). No Edge version with more up to date kernel either.

[-] Nimrod@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

Thanks for the reply. Seems I don’t have much to gain by making the switch. I do like that most questions I google come with Ubuntu answers that are relevant.

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I've been using both for a while and from a practical point of view there really isn't much difference. I guess it all comes down to ideological purity.

All the Ubuntu answers will work for Mint as well

[-] clearleaf@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Debian is Jumpman and Mint Debian is Luigi from the super show.

[-] Barack_Embalmer@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago

I have used Ubuntu as the daily driver for the last 10 years, because support and tools are widespread and easy, and I don't need any extra pain in my life. Drivers are mostly present and working upon a clean install, and in the one case where the touchpad wasn't recognized, it was super easy to find an ubuntu forum post containing a 1-line command to fix it. But everybody says i should hate it and use Mint instead.

I'm open to give it a go, but in general, will most of the tutorials and fixes you find for Ubuntu also work with Mint?

[-] illectrility@sh.itjust.works 44 points 10 months ago

Mint is Ubuntu-based so yeah, most stuff will work.

But also: The only reason I don't recommend Ubuntu is because of Snaps and telemetry. If someone decides that they don't mind, I don't care. Everyone should just use the distro they like best

[-] mooseifu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 10 months ago

I'm new to linux.. what is snaps and telemetry..?

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 22 points 10 months ago

Snaps are a more powerful flatpack

Like an .exe on Windows

They are able to do system components

People don’t like them because the server that serves snap is closed source. Since Snaps themselves are open source they could be changed to not use Canonical but then it would be a fork

Telemetry is sending data to the company that makes the OS, normally in Linux this is opt-in but on Ubuntu it is opt-out

[-] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 19 points 10 months ago

The other reason for not liking Snaps is badly implemented sandboxing. Unless they've fixed it more recently, the Snap version of a program cannot see your USB stick, your printer, your scanner, ½ of your fonts, your 2nd internal hard drive, your custom plugins etc and it can't connect to other software also installed on the computer.

There's (to my knowledge) not currently an easy system to grant access to these things - whereas Flatpak, for instance, has Flatseal, which let's you alter the permissions of all your Flatpak programs.

Perhaps if they'd launched Snaps with an android-like "would you like to give this program access to..." sort of thing, there'd be less of a problem.

There is of course a chance this has all been fixed since - but I've certainly not heard of it happening.

[-] mooseifu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 10 months ago

Ahh, that makes sense. Thank you! 😊

[-] mooseifu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 months ago

thanks so much! 😊

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago

Green Ubuntu for the win!

[-] heyfrancis@lemmy.ml 13 points 10 months ago

I've seen this same pic too many times in Lemmy

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 months ago

And before that it kept getting reposted on Reddit.

[-] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 13 points 10 months ago

A yes, Ubisoft Origin and Limewire.

[-] sagrotan@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

Every time I see "green Ubuntu" I'm remembering me, 25 years ago, with another green Linux, Suse, with 12 cdRoms, trying desperately to install it on my ancient grey brick.

[-] not_again@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

You haven't installed Linux until you've done it in the original Klingon.

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@kbin.social 8 points 10 months ago

Hmm, this Ubuntu tastes kinda minty...

[-] doingthestuff@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

It needs a little cinnamon.

[-] yuki2501@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Oh hey I might switch to Mint, Canonical pushing things on me is making me uneasy...

Linux Mint is killing its KDE Edition

(sigh) Never mind.

[-] laurelraven@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 9 months ago

I mean, you can still install it

Also, wasn't that like 6 years ago?

[-] MaoZedongers@lemmy.today 2 points 9 months ago

Sounds like you need some Cinnamon

[-] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 1 points 9 months ago

Linux Mint hasn't had a KDE version sind Mint 19. We are on 21.3 Are you a time traveler? Also just try KDE Neon. Has as of now no snap nonsense and it's better than Kubuntu since the KDE version is up to date.

[-] pewgar_seemsimandroid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 months ago

destroy the forbidden arch

[-] fallingcats@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)
