    Debian is a better version of Ubuntu.

      I moved off of Nobara to Kubuntu LTS. Tried out Mint and Ubuntu before hand and gotta say, I am loving Kubuntu. I am hoping it is the last time I have to distro hop

        If you have a moment to indulge a random person…

        What made you feel the need to switch off of Nobara? I’ve been using it and it’s been fine, but I’d love to know some things to keep an eye out for

          I found it to be unstable. I ran into updates causing major problems way too often. The last update got stuck and I was just so fed up I dumped the OS. Ubuntu has the LTS version that has way less often of updates, and that appealed to me. But I don’t like gnome so I went with Kubuntu cause its on KDE

          If you haven’t had issues with Nobara (I never have), stick with it. It’s way more current, and Kubuntu has been a buggy mess on any hardware I’ve ever used it.

            Yeah I don’t plan on switching unless I feel like I need to… Knowing what made others give up just helps me from wasting time fighting through something that might be a common issue…

            I picked Nobara for it to be no-hassle, which it’s done a great job of for me so far

            I JUST switched to Nobara last week, and this comment stressed me out. Lmao.
            It’s been good so far, but will see.

    Been on Ubuntu for years. Only use it for general computer work. Works just fine.

    Am I stupid?

      Nah. Ubuntu gets hate for some good reasons, but it’s still a fine distro, especially if you’re happy with it.

        In terms of polish Ubuntu is excellent. Problem is their policies and stupid decisions over the years, resulting in really unnecessary tech problems for anyone who wants more than just install apps via their App Store. Not to mention the inbuilt ads for Amazon, like, 10 years ago… or them recently deciding that it would be a good idea to alias some apt commands, so if you’re a power user and try to install f.e. Firefox with your CLI it would instead execute the command to install it as snap. Shit like that is just outright disrespectful to the user.

    Yes. My gaming rig has been on Pop for years now.

    I hate the idea of still being on Pop. But it’s so damned pleasant.

    Now on the Cosmic alpha.

      What I’ve noticed is that System76 doesn’t have as good of QA process compared to something like Linux Mint or Fedora. Not to say that it is bad but that’s my personal experience.

        I don’t disagree with that. They’re also a much smaller group so I think it just stands to reason.

        But I do appreciate that they’re taking chances (probably for the same reason). Cosmic is quite impressive already and a good alternative to Gnome/KDE/Cinnamon; better than the Pop Shell on Gnome.

          Edit: a word

          Am I crazy for finding this unnecessary? I’ve never cared about an edited comment, let alone the reason why a person edited it.

            IMO from personal experience I tend to half care.

            I personally wouldn’t leave in, “Edit: a word,” but if I change the substance of a comment in any meaningful way I like to leave an edit to say what changed.

            Particularly for when someone already replied to my comment or may already be replying to my comment. I would be afraid of accidentally trying to gaslight someone lol.

            Maybe it is. I always considered it a courtesy since otherwise it can be difficult to see what was edited. It’s from my reddit days.
