>>108415289I use the torrents.
What kind of fucking imbecile needs a separate distro just to install XFCE?
>>108415314The more people use and celebrate Linux, the better. Windows needs a swift kick in the pants and calling them Microslop might just be the therapy they need. I use my computer to do stuff, not play games.
>>108415289>>108415314There are other distros anons. Nobody is making you use Mint or a Ubuntu variant.

>>108415289can you at least use bait from this year?
>>108415289They've since taken steps to resolve the vulnerabilities that led to the website hack, such as switching from WordPress to Hugo (a static website generator).https://xubuntu.org/news/2025/2025-11-20-public-postmortem-of-the-website-download-compromise/
>>108415289>you get what you pay forLinux is free so naturally it is a unoptimized, buggy malware infested mess.
>>108415402>Linux is freeMostly free. There are paid distros like Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server that are targeted toward business customers.
>>108415341>celebrateThere is nothing to celebrate, Linux is utter shit. It just so happens that the other options are even worse.
>>108415289Just use Debian with Xfce.Nowadays, there is literally no reason to use Ubuntu over Debian provided you have at least one month of experience using Unix-like systems.
>>108415289So you don't check hashes and keys? Seems like a you problem.
>>108415370lmao
>>108415289>>108415314
>>108415534Unironically this. Checking an ISO doesn't take too long. Mint even does that by default right clicking an ISO when you download from their website now. You need to be ignorant to get malware now.
>>108415549yeah Arch even has a full guide in their download section for this but most people ignore stuff like this and get fucked.https://archlinux.org/download/
3 of the 5 users were infected.

>>108415289>Xubuntu website hacked to spread malawareThey swapped the Xubuntu ISOs for Windows 11
>>108415534>>108415549>>108415560people don't actually know how computers work, why are you surprised? this is why people hijack executable/image servers in the first place. it's free real estate.
>>108415289>If you downloaded or opened a file named “Xubuntu-Safe-Download.zip”Yeeeah, I have literally zero empathy for people that retarded.
>>108415339I agree, ubuntu did some retarded redundant work making all those distros just because it has different desktop environments, they should make one distro and make installing the desktop a user selection during install
>>108415339Normies are too paranoid about breaking their entire OS if they install more than one DE/WM at a time, so they have to be spoonfed dedicated spins like these and the Fedora ones.
