here i come
>another brother is falling for the Ubuntu scamNOOO ANON!! *grabs your hand and stares deeply into your eyes* Ubuntu's reputation as the beginner linux distro has been outdated for almost a decade! In truth, Ubuntu is a broken mess that doesn't care about user freedom, and canonical is an evil advertising company. Get Linux Mint instead Hope this helps
>>107858905Literally does not matter whether you get *Ubuntu or Mint. The average user does not care about snaps and even if you do some derivatives like Lubuntu and Kubuntu have minimal install available that come without them
>snaps>need ubuntu pro for updates>terminal adverts for ubuntu proInstall Debian 13.
>>107858916The average user will care about the fact that they're running a garbage system when they run sudo apt update and their audio stops workingOr more likely they will blame linux and go back to windows.
>>107858930LMDE is the white man's Debian 13 thoughbeitOr better yet MX
>>107858905b--b-but gnome?! it's so beautiful
>>107858975Why would you use a touchscreen interface with a mouse and keyboard? That's incredibly dumb.
>>107858905>>107858916>>107858932Ubuntu LTS sits in a solid middle ground between Windows/Mac and Linux autisim. It is a fantastic place to start a linux journey. It has a very large userbase and robust documentation/fourms. Yes, there are reasons to use other distros, but new people wont necessarily understand the reasons at first.
>>107858840Based mature person who has outgrown distrohopping and pointless tinkering
>>107858905the difference is literally one including snap and the other not.I personally went with mint to avoid snap but it doesn't really matter for a new user. anything is better than windows.
>>107858930you still get updates without it, just that you get 10 years on LTS releases rather than 5 if you use Pro.who hasn't reinstalled by the time 5 years has elapsed?
>>107859068>Ubuntu is a solid-Incorrect
>>107859095Different defaults, different tooling out of the boxMint doesn't even have the same repo as ubuntu
>>107859108If you look at the GUI updater, every time an update pops out, it'll show you several packages held hostage from updating behind the pro loicense.How do I know? My stupid jobs forces us to use either win 11 or Ubuntu, since I ain't using wangblows I'm forced to put up with that massive turd.
I figured ubuntu was for normies because everyone always talks about it so i went with fedora kde and it is excellent
>>107858840I went with Cachy as my first distro. Was gonna go with mint but apparently X11 doesn't work well with a dual monitor setup if each monitor has a different refresh rate. Wayland handles this without issue.I don't see myself distrohopping anytime soon. But when I upgrade my PC in around a year or two (total new build, my current PC has has zero upgrades in almost 10 years) I'll probably try a new distro.
>>107859351>I went with Shit as my first distro. Was gonna go with piss
>>107859263*krashes*
>>107858905What's the most popular distro to start your distro-hopping and also the most popular distro when you end your distro-hopping?Ubuntu.
>>107858905This is the truth.
>>107858840Good job. Ubuntu has a 2 year release cycle. 24.04 is almost 2 years old and 26.04 will release soon:tm:. If you don't like the Desktop, you can try Mint or Kubuntu, especially, if you are coming from Windows.
>>107858840>Br*tish distro
Why Ubuntu when Debian exists
