1. Ubuntu is the primary platform; Mint is a downstream derivative that benefits from Ubuntu’s work.2. Canonical gives Ubuntu enterprise backing, formal LTS support, security maintenance, and commercial accountability.3. Most developer guides, cloud images, SDKs, containers, and DevOps tooling target Ubuntu first.4. Ubuntu receives broader OEM certification and earlier validation for new hardware, drivers, firmware, and kernels.5. Ubuntu has embraced Wayland and modern desktop features, while Mint’s Cinnamon remains slower to leave X11 behind.6. Snaps provide sandboxing, consistent packaging, and reliable updates, so a slightly slower launch is hardly a crisis.7. Mint is not Windows just because it has a bottom panel and a familiar menu.8. Mint’s flat, gray, conservative design feels more like a printer settings screen than a modern desktop.9. Mint calls its reluctance to change “stability,” while Ubuntu actually pushes Linux desktop technology forward.10. Ubuntu is the mainstream, well-supported main character of desktop Linux; Mint is Ubuntu’s cautious green side project.
Debian is the primary platform; Ubuntu is a downstream derivative that benefits from Debian's work.

I wish there was a Linux Mint Devuan Edition.
1. And? Ubuntu is downstream of Debian. It's not an argument against quality in the linux world, since being able to utilise source code for your own project is a positive. Ubuntu does it for a primarily corporate environment nowadays, Mint moreso for personal use.2. Yes, and Mint benefits from that security maintenance and LTS support, but doesn't take customers from Ubuntu because personal users are entitled to free support either way. No harm done.3. Ok? And 99% of it will be compatible with Mint then, sounds like Mint picked the right base!4. This filters into Mint eventually, but slower uptake of kernels/updates is to ensure consistent functionality for users who aren't using the latest expensive tech.5. Because users don't necessarily want to lose support for something that is only deemed a risk in the corporate world.6. Yet Mint has gained popularity for providing deb apps instead of forcing snaps. Flatpaks provide the same feaures largely and are readily available by fefault but not depended on. Mint users like to stick to the traditional philosophy and have the choice for a sandbox if they need it.7. It shares many familiarities but overall the consistent non-invasive and controlling nature of updates and features of windows pre-10 is what they're referring to. People like that Ubuntu LTS follows that philosophy mostly but its default saddling with gnome is a big slap in the face with that.8. People care less about this when things just work. Gnome is clean looking but changes its features too often and removes more than it should.9. Things not changing so you are free to focus on your tasks rather than adjust to constant changes is stability, yes. Pushing "technology" aka software tweaking justified as a full time job is fraught with bugs and user dissatisfaction.10. Ubuntu has lost its reputation with users and only has a foot in the corporate world because of that previous trust and reach. It will be punished in the long run.
I have no idea why people on 4channel use Mint so much. Ubuntu Server is where it's at in my estimation... fully customizable like Arch but the rock hard stability of Debian/Ubuntu. Mint is just ... weird
>>109137112Systemd is actually good enough. Wow, you think that can't be true right, because (they) have been lying to us all? Devuan are a complete joke
>>109139093all you have to say is 'ok and?'. mint sucks and that's the bottom line.
It's best to think about it like a set of filters:Debian filters out junk from source code -> Ubuntu filters out junk from Debian -> Mint filters out junk from UbuntuYou get the highest quality output at the end.
>>109135005debian does zero work. if you ever pook st the testing branch you will realize just how cucked debian users are. stuck with bugs for 3 years on an “lts” distro that doesn’t survive past 3 years without some third party team maintaining itubuntu has its own packages, its own kernel modules and configurations, its own patches. debian does nothing but play a stupid time game with packages to consider them arbitrarily stable or not and version locked them. debian could die tomorrow and ubuntu would be fine. because its a fork, not a respin with a different DE
>>109139093>>109140237mint doesn’t filter shit. it just blocks snap install with an apt pin file and has a different DEubuntu has its own patches and wagies working around the clock to provide you with 10 years of free security maintenance i’d rather have wagies maintaining my shit for free than pseuds playing whack-a-mole with packages versions. REMEBER. even with minority votes, debian still implemented systemd. ununtu tried upstart, mira, unity. debian and redhat are the root of all evil. linux is DONE. GPL killed linux. on BSD apple takes your code and that’s it. on gnooooo huawei will contribute back their malware pimping the kernel to 8000 gazillion lines and adding birtday checks
>>109142254>debian/systemdVotes were tied. The technical lead made a decision. It was the correct decision despite personality issues of upstream developers. Upstart had an undesirable contributor license agreement. The other solutions did not solve the problems of sysvinit.>mintIt also subtly breaks packages. On Debian you can install uBlock Origin as a .deb package. On Ubuntu this is removed by design. Mint keeps it, but Firefox on Mint does not recognise the extension.>>109142224>stuck with bugsSo just run Sid. It works really well.>debian could die tomorrow and ubuntu would be fineUbuntu continually rebases on Debian. It is not a hard fork. It would absolutely suffer a catastrophic blow if Debian died.>>109140237Ubuntu adds junk to Debian. Mint attempts to mitigate some of the junk while keeping other added junk. The highest quality output is Debian, with the remainder bending to specialised interests.
