Not this thing again. This has been unnecessarily over-blown topic and has been explained since. Please don't stir unnecessary drama again.

Hmmm... Okay you can stay ;P

Hi, question: how many people here first checked credibility of the media involved? Don't worry, they seem legit, I am really just wondering because I quite recently found out that not many people really checks the sources when news like this appear. Please vote: "I checked" = upvote, "I didn't check" = downvote. Thank you.

Good reminder ⬆️ 😊

Thank you. Your points are... well.. on point :D Especially with "and the fact that there are as many opinions as there are users" maybe that's why we have so many distros.

I hope there will be more devices with linux out of the box in the future, because that is probably the number 1 enabler. We see it with steam deck, although its kinda special case. But that is a Linux device that people buy, use and often times without prior linux experience.

ok, thank you :) And I know I could have found it myself, but sometimes internet just takes fun out of conversations 😀 (I mean internet search and stuff, because lol this is also internet :)

I think KDE is great if you want to customize everything. But truth to be told, I think no one knows until they try. I have always seen myself a KDE guy until I had to use it longterm and then tried GNOME and found it more to my taste. I assume that is why everyone is feeling so strong about their distros and DE's, because if it really suits you, you gotta love it and you want others to find that too :)

I honestly don't know.

Ok, but they were founded in Lithuania right? Its not really important all is Europe I just thought there is more to it than just EU liaison.

Haha this should be a t-shirt 😀 How many times I saw a discussions recommending distros to newbies so many people saying "just use [enter your favorit distro]" 😀

You are right about linux mint, but I want to just add that I have been adding distro with Gnome to former windows users and there were no issues with usability. And those were people that are not very technical. I think Gnome does a great job when it comes to ux. But nowadays Gnome, Cinnamon, KDE and even not yet released Cosmic are so amazing I can't believe how lucky we linux users are to have so many good choices.

But it is there. Both Linux Mint and Pop OS are based on Ubuntu. And these three distributions seems to be the most recommended, that I have seen. My personal issue with ubuntu itself is that it is a little bit rough around the edges and then there is this whole snap thing. But I don't want to go into that here. It was just a recommendation and yes ubuntu is fine :)
