Comment on Using Ubuntu may give off a hipster vibes to the average PC user, but within the Linux community its has the opposite effect.

    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:

    • package manager
    • default packages/configurations (including the desktop environment)
    • init system

    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

    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.

    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.
