If youโve been enjoying Ubuntu so far I randomly want to recommend Debian to you. โบ๏ธ
I'm here to start a flame war and say Debian is old and gross and Fedora is clearly the way forward. And fuck it while were here, dont use the regular Fedora workstation, use the KDE spin, GNOME bad!
Tap for spoiler
/jI want to downvote and upvote you at the same time.
And even though I see you clearly trolling I am here to still try to convince you why Debian objectively clearly has the superior package management ๐.
I had a very niche problem on Fedora once that I was personally unable to solve, therefore the entire project is trash and everyone should use CachyOS which I haven't managed to break yet!
I didnโt realize spoiler links were possible and took the bait ๐ซ
That is okay you are forgiven ๐คฃ
Debian is a fine choice.
The only people that I know that use Debian are over 50 years old
Well, now you donโt.
Moving to Debian from Ubuntu was like moving from Windows to Linux again for me. It basically removes all the bloat and adware and just left the things I actually like, which I assume Ubuntu inherited from Debian anyway.
But to be fair I just use my Debian machine for writing projects, research, and flash cards.
I recently had a similar experience. I used Linux Mint for the longest time, which is ubuntu based. And I tried LMDE for a little bit recently.
But then I decided to try straight Debian 13 w/ KDE Plasma. I absolutely love it, and I'm old enough that seeing
just feels cozy and correct. Plus like you said the speed and stability are somehow even better, but that I had issues before.
Im comfortable with Ubuntu, and have no curiosity to try another distro. But if I ever have the inclination to try something else, I know Lemmy will have kind people to guide me.
Canโt argue with that, glad youโre enjoying it ๐
Not even dirty 30 yet baybee!
Hey! Iโm not 50 yet!
Though not far off TBF.
