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.

The other four distros they use are Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Gobuntu and Mythbuntu.

You clearly didn't try then!

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.)

"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.

Bah. Me, I've been using Debian since 1997. I've tried Ubuntu (and, what was it called, Progeny?) a few times but decided it was just Debian with extra steps.

You either use the distro for its specific use case and suffer as you overreach into other areas of expertise or get comfy switching gears if you need hybrid tasks on minimal hardware

I don't love Ubuntu as a desktop, but i'll fight to let other people try it and make up their own minds.

We have rather substantial tribe mind going on with anti AI, linux distros that suck, and which browsers are awful.

We've had hivemind since forever, but it's starting to get more pronounced.

KDE plasma somehow managed to ship with an old QT version which borked libraries. So back to Ubuntu it was.

[-] ccdfa@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

Kde plasma on what distro lol

[-] vinyl@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

[-] ccdfa@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

Careful who you're calling ding dong. It might just be yourself.

[-] vinyl@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Jokes on you I'm always a ding dong

[-] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago
