Linux is clearly inferior to Linux. Have you tried Linux? It beats Linux in every single dimension!

Honestly, it has been working perfectly fine to me for a couple of decades. With games and everything. But that's not the same Linux that everybody uses. Each person that installs it lives in a different universe from everybody else.

But anyway, if we could just stop the Ubuntu propaganda and avoid people starting with that piece of shit, a lot of the problems would disappear.

Hasn't Mint pretty much overtaken Ubuntu as a beginner distro?

Sure but the main reason people bitch about Ubuntu is snaps and Mint has them disabled, right?

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

I think so, but Linux people don't run out of Linux things to hate, and I say this as one of them :)

Mint fixes a lot of the problems with Ubuntu.

It will still break given enough time. But in my experience, it mostly works when recently installed. (I still don't use it, but it's better.)

It runs just fine even after a couple of version updates. And even if it comes to the worst, reinstalling just takes a few minutes. Mint is great if you don't like to tinker too much and just want stuff to run out of the box.

There's also a Debian based version

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah but I wouldn't say that's a beginner distro. Kinda niche
