From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What?! Theres a huge difference. Ubuntu is hot garbage for server work. How? Wait until you hit a permissions issue with your share and you find that snap did some bullshit, because you have mixed apt and snap packages. The notorious hardcoded snap store backend? Not a fan.
Yeah one might say debian is old packages, but first of all its a nas system, not an internet facing machine or even a main server thst needs a ton of services.
Even then third party software is pretty recent even on debian.
Ubuntu is the wrong choice for any server. Any.
I mean not much difference in hardware support.
In general, I agree. But I don't want do participate in holy wars.
Same here, sick of holy wars.
That being said, it seems the hardware difference is there, amd 370 is undercooked on debian, unless you use either sid or custom kernels.
Why custom? There's 6.17 in trixie-backports.
Interesting, @chazwiz, if you ever go the debian way, check the kernel
