What's the point of this distro? You can't even get any karma on /r/unixporn if you use Ubuntu.

for normies who install linux without doing any research. i.e. the majority of new linux users. The springboard goes ubuntu>mint>arch

fucking go back you prancing lala homo man

i bet you don't have much karma

/r/unixporn consists of nothing but trannies and weebs and thus their opinions should be disregarded as trash.

The best "Linux" for people who work in code, ml, tech, db, cae roles, and need "advanced tech tools" but are not IT.

Ubuntu server is basically Debian for cloud.

>>100142554
Their new logo looks like the old one sitting at the bottom of an orange trash can.
Fitting.

Ubuntu is the Windows of Linux.

>>100142554
there isn't one. Canonical is a weird ass cult started by a knock-off Elon, Shuttleworth.
They're literally forcing you to register your distro to even get distro "updates."

Just fucking use Debian if you like the god awful packaging policies you inherent from Canonical-ware's fork of it.
>>
>>100143951
also, as someone who works, I can confirm that Canonical ware will break your environments sporadically and Microsoft shoves it in your face a lot when you use their shitty Azure PaaS garbage.

At some point it was to attract the normies with an amazing and unique interface/desktop (unity7) but everything went to shit when they let redhat and gnome bully them

I use ubuntu for development for all other stuff I use windows. It's just easier to work on ubuntu than installing ubuntu subsystem + it's one of the most popular so I don't need to worry about problems because they are already solved by someone else

Disregard it, it's lies and FUD. He probably gets paid by (((red hat)))

truth hurts canonical cuck.
>>
the reason is simple
> Linux is a pile of crap
> Ubuntu at least hides the complexity away
Ubuntu allows you to install, apt whatever you need, work the the tools you installed and hoping you don't ever need to deal with something related to the os

it still shit itself sometimes but at least it's bearable
>>
>>100142574
Why do people want to try linux, just buy machines pre installed with windows or pirate it
>>
>>100142554
Ubuntu is dead. The future is System76.
>>
>>100142574
all ubuntu does is scare away windows normalfags who end up thinking that gnome = Linux when they just want something that looks like windows.
>>
>>100142574
wrong
I went xubuntu>arch>xubuntu
its just better and easier to work with in every way
AUR also can be matched by simply using nix as your package manger
>>
Canonical killed Ubuntu with fucking snap.

It was a great beginner friendly, with a huge community, that "just werks" until they decided to shit all over it.
>>
>>100142574
For me it was ubuntu > manjaro > ubuntu > fedora > ubuntu
Can't beat perfection, plus I'm tired of distro hopping and transferring files
>>
>>100142554
They have the most LTS you can get
>>
>>100142554
Just works
Decent defaults
