I like Ubuntu.

[-] PushSurname@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago

As a mint user, I can confirm that I still don't know where the start button is.

I think I'm stupid as I don't get this at all. I've never used a distro that doesn't work. They all work. Some are more advanced, some are more stable, some are more polished, some even look and behave like Windows, but fundamentally they are work.

I had a girlfriend who used Debian back around 2005.

Never have I been around an OS that didn't work as often as Debian. It wouldn't crash, but need to be updated or something every hour. It was a full time job keeping it running for her.

wdym, updates every hour? we're you using Stable?

Even Arch doesn't have updates every hour

I'm currently just after the fedora stage so far. Guess I better go try Gentoo.

I am a Debian unstable user who used to use Gentoo, the reason I stopped using Gentoo is revdep-rebuild. Do not want to do another revdep-rebuild ever again.

As an Ubuntu weanie why should I swap?

[-] danielton@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

There is nothing wrong with using Ubuntu if it works for you.

But it does just work ๐Ÿ˜

[-] qyron@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 years ago

I still love Debian to bits and pieces but I can't convince me to use it as a daily driver again. And I used it as such for nearly a decade.

My main issue is the software being dated. Yes, there are backports, and with flatpak support we can circumvent that even better but... no.

Nixos: chewing on arch documentation in the corner

Lol. Arch for desktop, Debian for servers is where it's at, IMO.

Pretty accurate. Heard someone describe Debian as "boring Arch" the other days and it's pretty accurate. Whilst the base system is still fairly useable it's still pretty bare bones and it seems like most Debian users will tweak it slightly to their liking and just stick with it. Been me for the past few years

[-] etchinghillside@reddthat.com 6 points 2 years ago

Remind me what the two on the right are.

[-] DukeMcAwesome@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

4th is Gentoo. 5th is Debian's logo inverted, so I'm not sure if that's supposed to be Debian or a derivative that I don't know off hand because there are so many.

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง Language/ัะทั‹ะบ/Sprache

  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.
