Yea it sorta just works and has a lot of community support. Imo the easiest of the distros which is not a bad thing. Turn off snaps and it basically is golden. Never needed backups in like 10 years because I know how to fix everything. The only thing that fucks up at this point is Nvidia but same thing has happened to me on Fedora.
BTW keep in mind this is [email protected] and there’s a certain lightness in the robustness of arguments that goes with it. So on a more serious note, you speak of Ubuntu as having no real benefit over Debian. While I love Debian, using the Ubuntu version of Debian, I get 10 years of security support for free (for up to 5 machines). This is objectively a real benefit for anyone that doesn’t plan to upgrade every two years compared to Debian. You’re right in principle about corporate distros not being your friend, however Canonical isn’t an IBM-owned, publicly traded corporation. Yet.

I’m very happy with debian. So many applications ship a .deb, and you don’t have to deal with the Canonical bullshit.
Ubuntu go brrrrr.

You’re mid-curve now. Ubuntu’s better than ever.
Distros based on Ubuntu are better than ever. Ubuntu isn’t the move tho

So does debian not have like 4 years old packages anymore in stable or do I have to live in bleeding edge unstable?

Debian and Ubuntu LTS are both ~2 year cycles, but Debian has traditionally been better than Ubuntu at picking up security fixes
If you sign up for Ubuntu Pro, they might be as good as Debian, now, but I haven’t checked
If you want faster than that, something other than Debian makes sense
There’s also “testing” in between. It’s not as stable as - well - “stable”, but I didn’t have trouble with it.
Im fighting with you brother
What about with a laptop where you can’t disable secure boot? Ubuntu works with it ootb, very few other distros do.
