Librewolf, though I don't really consider it a fork, more like a repackaged FireFox with sensible defaults. So far it's been great and I hope it stays around for a while.
Just go with Debian.
Disappoint is a sober word here. I am actually pissed at the casual arrogance of Ubuntu and its parent company Canonical.
I'm actually baffled that this would come as a surprise to people. Canonical has been like this for a long time and you'd have to have blinders on to not see it. They are hell-bent on doing things their way and ignoring the wider Linux community and even their users. That is, of course, their prerogative and to some degree I even welcome their attempts at differentiating their distro from others. As a user though you should be aware of their history and the apparent direction they're heading.
I just wish they'd stop stalling and went all-in on snaps already, since that's pretty obviously where they're headed.
Seeing so many people mention Firefly gives me this warm fuzzy feeling inside.
Can't go wrong with Debian on servers. Stable, secure and long term support. Very minimal install also.
Maybe also look into Alpine. It might be a bit lighter, if that's an issue.
My nephew was so confused when I kept telling him to press "Select" when we played on a PS5.
That is crazy dangerous. There are some really deadly mushrooms out there. People need to go to prison for this shit.
I mean, base Debian should work out fine.
They are the true blue bloods of the animal kingdom, they are already at the pinnacle.
