It’s Ubuntu Touch 😏

Ubuntu minus the binary-blobs and corpo-junk = the good distro of Trisquel
- That sounds like Debian with extra steps (and a fancy kernel).

Ubuntu, but good? It’s called Debian.

Mint?
- Definitely Mint.
  
  Defimintly.
  
  Ubuntu minus snaps plus a better DE? Mint.

Debian is a decent Ubuntu based OS 🫳🎤
- You just killed 7 senior citizens
  
  Help, I've dist-upgraded and i can't [symbol 'grub_calloc' not found]
- Is this from a high res texture pack for sims 1?

Debian is a better version of Ubuntu.

Been on Ubuntu for years. Only use it for general computer work. Works just fine.
Am I stupid?
- Nah. Ubuntu gets hate for some good reasons, but it's still a fine distro, especially if you're happy with it.
- Nah, it's pretty great
  Not as polished as Pop I think, but good and getting better
  
  In terms of polish Ubuntu is excellent. Problem is their policies and stupid decisions over the years, resulting in really unnecessary tech problems for anyone who wants more than just install apps via their App Store. Not to mention the inbuilt ads for Amazon, like, 10 years ago… or them recently deciding that it would be a good idea to alias some apt commands, so if you're a power user and try to install f.e. Firefox with your CLI it would instead execute the command to install it as snap. Shit like that is just outright disrespectful to the user.

Hannah Montana Linux?
- HML was last updated in 2009, I'd recommend Justin Bieber Linux instead.

  No need to update when you've reached perfection

Mint, Debian

Popos or Debian?
- Mint
- popos and steamos
  
  SteamOS is just Arch but also immutable

Pop!_OS.

So Kubuntu then?

I don't mind LMDE, but opensuse really has came into its own with kde6
- How would you convince me to use opensuse, what makes it so nice?
  
  Hopefully someone more technical can pitch it, but it did feel very easy to set up and use. The utilities that it comes with just feel very well designed and thought out. If Debian was gone tomorrow, I'd probably try openSUSE again.
  
  Snapper. But you also install Snapper on other distros.
  
  Not my problem what you use.
  Try it or don't

Kubuntu isn't too bad
- I moved off of Nobara to Kubuntu LTS. Tried out Mint and Ubuntu before hand and gotta say, I am loving Kubuntu. I am hoping it is the last time I have to distro hop
  
  If you have a moment to indulge a random person...
  What made you feel the need to switch off of Nobara? I've been using it and it's been fine, but I'd love to know some things to keep an eye out for

Just switched to Fedora, bit having used Ubuntu before... yeah, never again lmao.

Yes. My gaming rig has been on Pop for years now.
I hate the idea of still being on Pop. But it's so damned pleasant.
Now on the Cosmic alpha.
- What I've noticed is that System76 doesn't have as good of QA process compared to something like Linux Mint or Fedora. Not to say that it is bad but that's my personal experience.
  
  I don't disagree with that. They're also a much smaller group so I think it just stands to reason.
  But I do appreciate that they're taking chances (probably for the same reason). Cosmic is quite impressive already and a good alternative to Gnome/KDE/Cinnamon; better than the Pop Shell on Gnome.
  Edit: a word
