How is Ubuntu so good

>>106140884 (OP)
Is it? I'm a Windows user, sell Ubuntu to me.

>>106140963
It will be a perfect distro to transition to if you yourself already transition IRL.

>>106140963
no go fuck yourself faggots like you can use arch

>>106140966
trannies don't used mainstream distros like Ubuntu or Linux Mint or Fedora.
They use fringe distros like Arch, Gentoo and Debian because that makes them feel special

im gonna be honest, there's no distro that feels good in any way whatsoever. if i don't need it for work i just can't fuck with it. they all feel way too barebones and lack so many features, and the notion that i can just configure them with the features i want kills any drive to explore them. maybe i'm a brainlet, but i don't think i can ever use anything else besides windows 95.

for children

>>106141063
Of course linux have this

Ubuntu is by FAR the most technological, that's for god damn sure.

They are some of the ONLY ones who figured out exactly what is happening, when your computer has Secure Boot fully enabled & BitLocker Windows 11 partition and you want to dual boot linux WHILE KEEPING SECURE BOOT

Other linux devs are absolutely fucking retarded, like 90%+ of the distros out there can't do it

>>106140963
I play world of tanks on Ubuntu using wine

the Linux CLI is comfier than power shell or command prompt

Microsoft is gay

>>106140884 (OP)
adequate, and still not going to pay for it

to much shit gets in your way though now when it was much easier until someone made it worse for whatever reason, but thats all linux land now

>>106141079
haven't

>>106140884 (OP)
snaps are shit and trying to ignore them just feels wrong.
no I will not go out of my way to run a script to remove them.

>>106140884 (OP)
I've been using Ubuntu, but for a new build I was going to go with Mint. However apparently for upgrades to non-point releases, Mint expects the user to nuke and pave, rather than upgrade in place? Is that still true for Mint these days?
If so, I'm rather more included to put Ubuntu on the new build as well, since I'm at least used to it.

>>106142631
>Is that still true
Hasn't been for a while.

>>106142668
I hoped that info was outdated. Thank you.

>Man who has only seen Boss Baby: How is Boss Baby so good?

>>106140884 (OP)
It just is

>>106140884 (OP)
It was* good, but now Canonical's just a wannabe Microsoft of the Linux scene, it's a shame. I still like Ubuntu for what it is, but it's peak years are behind it.

>>106140884 (OP)
it's not. kys nigger retard

>>106140884 (OP)
its the most comfy distro, especially regarding drivers.

A long time ago there was an operating system called Unix. Everyone used it for everything because it just worked. So when people were designing new operating systems they did it the Unix way, because if it ain't broke don't fix it. This produced a family of operating systems called "Unix-like", which power every smartphone, Mac and Chromebook. They are also the industry standard for web servers, because servers need to just work all the time.
Out of this family, Ubuntu and MacOS have the most user-friendly interfaces for desktop use. MacOS, however, is designed to run on a specific set of very expensive hardware, whereas Ubuntu is designed to run on anything with a processor. So when you boot it for the first time you will be amazed by how fast everything runs and never want to go back.

Windows was designed by a group of people who thought they were too special to do the thing that just works. So they reinvented the wheel with lots of new features that sometimes work if you have the latest hardware. They configured everything from a single registry (horribly insecure) and handled metadata with alternative data streams (literally begging for viruses).
Windows became popular with offices, because it comes preloaded with a complex toolkit for administering a company network and managing permissions from one place, so you will never again have to do pesky chores like calling a person and asking them to press a button. Having cornered the office market they quickly cornered the PC market in general, as office monkeys wanted the same system at home that they had already learned to use at work.
The children of the office monkeys wanted to play with the PC, so Windows then cornered the games market until the best games were written exclusively for Windows. Fortunately, Valve corporation have now liberated us from this with the Proton compatibility layer, which allows you to play games designed for Windows without ever running Windows.

except Mac is actually UNIX and Linux is UNIX-like

>>106140884 (OP)
cant speak on the ubuntu desktop, but servers are easy to deploy and configure - with good support and documentation

I would use it if it wasn't for snaps

>>106146663
did you hear about them removing GNU core utils and replacing with rust version because the had issue with GLP licensing?
Now you have.

>>106141063
>no built-in way to easily edit metadata
what's the point of this?
