I think I'm stupid as I don't get this at all. I've never used a distro that doesn't work. They all work. Some are more advanced, some are more stable, some are more polished, some even look and behave like Windows, but fundamentally they are work.

I like Ubuntu.

As a mint user, I can confirm that I still don't know where the start button is.

As an Ubuntu weanie why should I swap?

[-] heeplr@feddit.de 11 points 1 year ago

it can get resource hungry but nothing even close to windows.

But as others said: Try another distro if you like to try new things - otherwise just use what works for you.

[-] tdawg@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Yea that makes sense. I've been curious about Arch given how many resources there are for learning it. Weirdly enough I know two people who have tried it, one said it was the easiest setup they've ever done and the other said it bricked their laptop.

There is nothing wrong with using Ubuntu if it works for you.

Red Hat making memes now?

I had a girlfriend who used Debian back around 2005.

Never have I been around an OS that didn't work as often as Debian. It wouldn't crash, but need to be updated or something every hour. It was a full time job keeping it running for her.

I'm currently just after the fedora stage so far. Guess I better go try Gentoo.

I am a Debian unstable user who used to use Gentoo, the reason I stopped using Gentoo is revdep-rebuild. Do not want to do another revdep-rebuild ever again.

+1 for Debian here, but I'm on KDE.

I still love Debian to bits and pieces but I can't convince me to use it as a daily driver again. And I used it as such for nearly a decade.

My main issue is the software being dated. Yes, there are backports, and with flatpak support we can circumvent that even better but... no.

Lol. Arch for desktop, Debian for servers is where it's at, IMO.

Pretty accurate. Heard someone describe Debian as "boring Arch" the other days and it's pretty accurate. Whilst the base system is still fairly useable it's still pretty bare bones and it seems like most Debian users will tweak it slightly to their liking and just stick with it. Been me for the past few years

I'm on Ubuntu. A week ago I had to look up how to use a python script. I wouldn't even hide porn that much.

Remind me what the two on the right are.

[-] DukeMcAwesome@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

4th is Gentoo. 5th is Debian's logo inverted, so I'm not sure if that's supposed to be Debian or a derivative that I don't know off hand because there are so many.
