Why do people install anything other than Ubuntu as a beginner distro? Like, what's the deal with shit like Mint, PopOS, Zorin and elementary? It's all just Ubuntu with a different DE. If you want a different DE, just install Ubuntu and install a different DE?
Kubuntu > UbuntuAlso there's Nobara these days
For one, Ucuntu (and some Ucuntu with different DE) are made by a company, that sells extra security updates. Because they can.Also, Snaps are trash. Mint and POP get rid of Snaps, swap GNOME for their own DE's (both of which are quite nice) and don't sell security updates to the end user.
there was some outrage about ubuntu recently that made a lot of people turn to other distrosI don't remember what it was though, I don't really care about linux
I still advocate for Fedora, despite all the Red Hat controversy. Beginners too.My opinion's always kinda been, Debian is the gold standard community server OS, and all the shit based on it is mostly unnecessary.

>>100165141Because snaps are YUGELY wasteful.
>>100165141Because they visit forums like this or leddit and are told to install Arch or Mint and that Ubuntu is not elite enough
>>100165141Casual Mint user here. (Exclusively use GUI, no terminal)Ubuntu has always been a bit buggy for me. Sometimes I would have trouble connecting to a WiFi network that required a webpage to be pulled up to access. Mint also has a better functioning package from my experience. Also, i like the out of the box look better as well.
>>100165141Ubuntu uses gnome. Mint doesn't.
>>100165141Ubuntu is utter shit.Dapper Drake was my first linux distro ever, if I remember correctly. (or it might be the one right before) And it fried my HDD by parking the reading heads 6 times per minutes.Fuck South African's rich fucks; And everything they have built.
Because I was born an expert.
