2024 is the Year of Linux on the Desktop, at least for my boyfriend. He’s running Windows 7 right now, so I’ll be switching him to Ubuntu in a few days. Ubuntu was chosen because Proton is officially supported in Ubuntu.

    I don’t get what the fuck is the problem with Ubuntu anyway.

    Edit: I mean I heard the reasons many times but they are completely non-issues for me.

      It’s about Ubuntu behaving lightly like Microsoft with a closed source backend for the store, having had ads in the apps drawer, putting ads on the motd in cli with apt… It’s small things like these

        Base Mint now is just Ubuntu but with bullshit cut out. My first and current one was actually Debian, but at this point I’d rather recommend Mint)

      They are mostly more technical and architecture based issues. Also the model of the whole ubuntu ecosystem. At least for me.

      There’s not really a “the problem”.

      Canonical’s intentions don’t line up with what is best for the linux community.

      But in the end of the day Ubuntu is still linux and it’s fine if Ubuntu’s tastw of linux is what you want.

      I am back to Ubuntu now and I like how it just works out of the box. I might try some other ones later knowing I can go back to Ubuntu if I want to.
