this is just low quality content trying to grab a few clicks. it should be removed.
That website has always been like this. They occasionally publish articles and I sometimes visit them for curiosity but more often than not, many articles are sheer garbage.
Oh, it seems like they also started their own membership thing. Wow!
IMO:
Yeah but which only fans pages should I follow as a Linux user
Imagine recommended reddit on "itsfoss".
-1 for recommending r/Linux
+1 for recommending DistroWatch
No.
'should have' -- but didn't? What happened then?
I had that moment too but I think this is actually intended as "should keep bookmarked".
Yeah, I'm sure that was the intention; but the wording is off, so I wanted to take a little jibe at it.
It's prefectly reasonable to say "I have that site bookmarked".
Then go to "I should have that site bookmarked".
"I'll check on that one site I should have bookmarked"
Etc.
But I didn't bookmark them, so where do we go from here? The judgy tone isn't helping.
The intro is a little less proscriptive: “ Here's the list of my favorite Linux websites. Perhaps you'll like them too.”
Are you getting offended from a listicle title?
https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk has some decent new and app update news here and there, and other generalized release news for various other distros aside from Ubuntu.
at least they don't toot their own horn
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.
