I got my parents' computer on KDE neon, with "brand new Plasma 5" years ago when Win 7 was going out of support, it had been solid as a rock and relatively problem-free over the years. Ubuntu 18.04 LTS was out of date for over a year, and Netflix stopped working, so I bought a new drive, upgraded from 4GB to 16GB RAM and clean installed KDE Neon with Plasma 6!

This is a 12 year old Toshiba Satellite laptop that is still going strong. (As an email, websurfing and video watching machine).

Nothing wrong with Ubuntu.

All operating system elitism is stupid. Just use what you like and are comfortable using. I grew up on Linux and mostly use Mac nowadays.

It's even sillier to make fun of someone for the distro they use.

When you're a boring person and the only thing you have to be snobby about is your operating system I'm not sure that says anything good about you.

How can it suck the least if it has snap?

ubuntu is an excellent base, but there's no reason to use it over other distros based on it. it does nothing better than others and forces snaps on you to the point of not even having flatpak installed by default unlike almost every other distro that is even remotely modern.

idk, I've been using xubuntu for more than 10 years now, I'm not happy with absolutely everything, but the trouble I do have is definitely less effort to fix than learning a new, more elaborate distro.

So, it's a pretty good, common denominator, and as long as it keeps working it doesn't really need to be anything else?

I'm sure there are differences and niches that other distros fulfill better, but until there is a killer feature I'm interested in that only works on a specific distro or works extremely well on a different distro, I don't see the "push" factor that would make me leave?

(btw, that there is no "report bugs here" button that's just built into the window manager (besides the -,+,x buttons) and takes me to project home pages or bug trackes is wild to me, on any distro as far as I know. Like they don't want to interact with users? I don't get it.)

You clearly didn't try then!

I personally think Ubuntu sucks, thats why I always reccomend other distros to people starting :3

Productivity: Debian (you dont need up to date packages if all you do is edit documents)

Gaming: Pop_OS (especially when Cosmic releases)

"Don't feed the trolls" has ended up with the trolls running the place. I'd rather Lemmy not become yet another "lol ubuntu sux" echo chamber.

The other four distros they use are Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Gobuntu and Mythbuntu.
