Nothing, it’s just a touch harder to use? I mean I use it on a old netbook and it works just fine. Did a net install and then loaded LightDM + MATE… Oh … Yeah, there ya go, not quite as easy as Ubuntu. Still amazing for servers.
What’s wrong with Debian?

bingo, I enjoy the stabilty and simplicity for my servers but I wouldn’t run vanilla debian for a desktop. ironically I tend to use Linux Mint for desktop which I guess is a grandchild then, since it’s based on Ubuntu :).

How do you like it? I wish they had a MATE version 😢

does the job I suppose. I don’t use desktop enough to have any useful thoughts about it. I like that it’s a decent gui over what I’m used to.

absolutely nothing, it’s my preferred distro (and I have the grey beard to match). what I mean is that despite not using Ubuntu (or honestly even liking it that much), I give it a pass since it’s the offspring of my preffered flavor.
