    Linux people are polite enough to not react when I tell them I use Ubuntu.

    Windows people think I am a geeky nerd that knows how to code when I tell them I use Ubuntu.

        I’m here to start a flame war and say Debian is old and gross and Fedora is clearly the way forward. And fuck it while were here, dont use the regular Fedora workstation, use the KDE spin, GNOME bad!

        Tap for spoiler

          Well, now you don’t.

          Moving to Debian from Ubuntu was like moving from Windows to Linux again for me. It basically removes all the bloat and adware and just left the things I actually like, which I assume Ubuntu inherited from Debian anyway.

          But to be fair I just use my Debian machine for writing projects, research, and flash cards.

            I recently had a similar experience. I used Linux Mint for the longest time, which is ubuntu based. And I tried LMDE for a little bit recently.

            But then I decided to try straight Debian 13 w/ KDE Plasma. I absolutely love it, and I’m old enough that seeing

            starting Debian GNU/Linux
            

            just feels cozy and correct. Plus like you said the speed and stability are somehow even better, but that I had issues before.

            Im comfortable with Ubuntu, and have no curiosity to try another distro. But if I ever have the inclination to try something else, I know Lemmy will have kind people to guide me.

      Monkeys, together strong

      Most if not all linux users i know irl use ubuntu and dont know much of other distros.

      I’m persuading some of turning to the right side of history and join Debian

        The real red pill is that distros are only different people in two aspects: convenience and degree of control. Only thing that matters is we’re on the side of freedom
