Shit, just linux.

Use this community for anything related to linux for now, if it gets too huge maybe there will be some sort of meme/gaming/shitpost spinoff. Currently though… go nuts

This is from 5.10. Warty 4.10 was the first Linux distro I actually installed, after only using a Knoppix live CD previously. I miss those days. A lot has improved for Linux but it seemed like Ubuntu was onto something. Then in 2010s they lost their way.

I'm perfectly fine with running an Ubuntu server. I have used Ubuntu since time first reports of how shitty Vista was. It was a great place to escape from Window$. And still is a great place.

I stubbornly stuck with it until last year. I'd still recommend it to a new Linux user if they weren't fans of Mint but I feel like Mint has more of that old Ubuntu spirit. Ubuntu is one of the greatest distros ever in my opinion, and I get that Canonical is a business and has to make money, but what if they had maintained that focus on Linux for human beings.

Debian since what, Bookworm? has been everything that Ubuntu advertised. That's when they finally voted to include non-free drivers on the installation media. The one thing that made Ubuntu easier than Debian.
