And that’s the story of why I switched to Arch <3
Obligatory Ubuntu sucks message
I am literally running Ubuntu right now and I don’t get this comic. I have never been asked to subscribe to Ubuntu Pro, if I have it was noninvasive that I didn’t notice.
It’s only LTS. Desktop users rarely use LTS. Great to have live kernel updates on a developer workstation and servers though.
Thank you for educating me, but this makes less sense now. The only people who should/need to run LTS are people we a specific reason for staying on an older OS. And if that’s the case you should no what you are getting into.
Exactly, it’s just people finding an excuse to complain about. It’s more like an extension of the Unix wars or the editor wars or the browser wars. People have to find a reason to justify their choice.
I don’t recall ever seeing such an ad in Ubuntu. Totally possible I wasn’t paying attention or I saw it and forgot.
Is it really like that or is this a joke
Last I used Ubuntu you do indeed get an ad every time you apt upgrade You can still go into some config file and remove it though
LIN 👏
NUX 👏
MINT 👏
I’ve seen plenty of Debian mentions, and no pushback there whatsoever from me.
But if you find yourself frustrated that you can’t just have Ubuntu without Canonical’s snaps and ads and other ickiness, Mint is exactly that. Or maybe better, I dunno. It’s super polished and full featured and stable.
And even better in this era of Windows 10 support ending, the main/default version (Linux Mint Cinnamon) looks like Windows out of the box but it installs, works, and updates at like 10x the speed. (The 10x is an exaggeration for moment to moment desktop work and latency, but for the install and especially for updates I think it’s accurate)
Check out Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE).
It is hard to install nvidia drivers to debian and so LMDE. Mint makes it only three clicks away with driver manager.
Intolerable, scammy OS. Everything good in Ubuntu these days can be traced back to other projects, such as debian/Gnome/KDE. Whatever Canonical adds to that is just an attempt to lock you in their ecosystem or wring money out of you.
Just use debian instead.
Or mint, if you’re a newbie
Honestly, i don’t like debian and it’s derivatives because they focus on stability, and that means packages in the repos get outdated really quick. I’d love a distro that combines a debian base and the rolling release model of arch.
It’s called Debian Testing.
Debian testing is not rolling. Sid/unstable is.

Debian Unstable.
