Any Kubuntu/Ubuntu-based distro users?
| ubuntu is going to comply with age verification nonsense, so i'm switching to freebsd soon
i strongly recommend you do, too
| The main issue with ubuntu is that it pushes snap like there is no tomorrow while it is half-baked and barely functional. At best you get half-working software, at worst - not working. Ignore everything ubuntu-based.
| I personaly dislike kde, gtk and especially apt (ubuntus package manager).
Since you like it though, keep using it.
| If you like KDE and the debian packaging system I'd still recommend KDE neon. It combines Ubuntu LTS repositories with rolling release repositories for and from KDE.
The current KDE Neon is based on 24.04 LTS and hopefully will upgrade to 26.04 LTS end of the year.
I have no Problem with Canonical, a long I don't have to use their own software and services (which usually suck). They do a good job as a distributor (even thought they steel a lot from debian).
| >>1090852 If you like KDE and the debian packaging system you should use DEBIAN, it is still supported with X11
| If you like debian packaging system you should consider using DEBIAN, I am very smart
| >>1090858 a number of distros dropped KDE in favor of gnome and gnome ofshoots. A number of distros dropped X11 support. The clarification is necessary, you DO want a working DE with a lot of features after all.
| While I do hate niggers even a nigger has the right to working computer
| Let's be real the age verification shit on Linux doesn't fucking matter because they are going to trust the os which we have complete control over, some bullshit requests it send em a zip bomb
| My thoughts on Ubuntu basically boil down to its a good distro if you like the decisions they make
I personally don't like the update cadence and how disruptive the major updates are compared to a rolling release
I've got an old server still running Ubuntu and I can totally see why people would use it though
| I see some gurls recommending openbsd and freebsd, but what about CachyOs? I'm kinda curious about it, is it good? Are the otherbsd distros good? What's the difference?
| >>1090937 cachy is arch but with additional optimizations for all the software in the official repositories (basically arch but it runs faster, although sometimes you can't really notice it does in practice)
| cASSy os
| If you like Ubuntu, try Debian
If you're gonna try BSD just because someone told you, Don't
| If you like debian packaging system you should consider using DEBIAN, I am very smart
| debian is okay

Cannoicle is the Microsoft of linux. Which mind you, still means they're far better than Microsoft. But they're still shit.

I don't want X11 on my desktop anymore. Wayland meanwhile runs pretty stable and efficient.
Debian with KDE is probably a great alternative to Kubuntu, but not to KDE Neon.
Getting the latest improvements for KDE/Plasma on a stable basis turned out to be the thing for me, especially as stupid authorities/customers force me to deal with proprietary crap APIs, formats and policies (fu google!).
I'd even prefer Arch over using the outdated KDE from the debian repositories.

There is no "Microsoft of Linux".
The main problem with Microsoft is not that they make bad software with even worse policies. The problem is that they have a monopoly on the Office Desktop market forcing people to use their bad software and accept their policies.
While Canonical makes bad software and policies too, no one is forced to use it.
I would say Canonical is to Linux what Oracle/Sun is/was to BSD. Just another once great OSS company getting too lazy/greedy.
| i liek wayland on my kde plasma on my archlinux box :3
This thread is closed.
| Any of you here?
I use Kubuntu but lately I've noticed many linux users are sceptical of Ubuntu (and of Cannocical) and don't like the corporate vibe of 'em
I don't know how to feel about them but I do enjoy how comfy kubuntu has been for me
What do you gurls think?
