I don't use Ubuntu personally, but it was great to automate for deployment in a corporate setting.
Yes, Debian has some agnostic unattended install, but writing basically cloud-init is just so much better.

it's also pretty easy to get an Ubuntu machine logged into an Active Directory managed domain these days.

it's the "Reddit hivemind" when a large group shares their opinion that your OS of choice has many flaws, but a large group of people defending their poor choices in OS is...not "hivemind" mentality?
it's amazing honestly, the amount of mental gymnastics we go through to protect our fragile egos because we honestly believe a corporate product will somehow enrich our lives to the point that they will suck less.
if only we could get past this and objectively look at the tools as tools and be able to have an open discussion about why they suck.
but no...let's keep denigrating each other so that our side will come out victorious.
in another post I triggered the whole community so much that a mod had to step in, the irony of my commentary completely lost on everyone. it would be amusing if it weren't so sad that there's so much useless emotion wrapped up in this argument.

I personally think Ubuntu sucks, thats why I always reccomend other distros to people starting :3
Productivity: Debian (you dont need up to date packages if all you do is edit documents)
Gaming: Pop_OS (especially when Cosmic releases)
The other four distros they use are Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Gobuntu and Mythbuntu.
All operating system elitism is stupid. Just use what you like and are comfortable using. I grew up on Linux and mostly use Mac nowadays.
It's even sillier to make fun of someone for the distro they use.
When you're a boring person and the only thing you have to be snobby about is your operating system I'm not sure that says anything good about you.
idk, I've been using xubuntu for more than 10 years now, I'm not happy with absolutely everything, but the trouble I do have is definitely less effort to fix than learning a new, more elaborate distro.
So, it's a pretty good, common denominator, and as long as it keeps working it doesn't really need to be anything else?
I'm sure there are differences and niches that other distros fulfill better, but until there is a killer feature I'm interested in that only works on a specific distro or works extremely well on a different distro, I don't see the "push" factor that would make me leave?
(btw, that there is no "report bugs here" button that's just built into the window manager (besides the -,+,x buttons) and takes me to project home pages or bug trackes is wild to me, on any distro as far as I know. Like they don't want to interact with users? I don't get it.)
You clearly didn't try then!
lol just ignore the karens
"Don't feed the trolls" has ended up with the trolls running the place. I'd rather Lemmy not become yet another "lol ubuntu sux" echo chamber.
