Every couple of years I think to myself “Ubuntu can’t be that bad, can it? I must be misremembering. Surely it’s just some combination of my memory exaggerating how terrible it was and my lackluster Linux skills, which have since improved. Everybody still recommends it as a beginner distro, right? Why’d I stop using it?”
It works great as a quick and easy WSL module if you need to quickly patch the kernel of your embedded Linux device at work 🤗, well, maybe it would have been just as easy using just debian, to be fair 🤔
I mean…
They have GUI system upgrades, this is kind of a pain in Debian
Okay, now I updated 12 laptops from Ubuntu 22.04 to 24.04 and…
apt update
in the terminal, fixedDamn this is bad. And this is like, the best of the best distros?
Doubt that. Fedora Atomic has way more potential, while only being user friendly as uBlue.

And then I download Ubuntu.
And then I remember.

Ubuntu is very much NOT the best of the distros anymore.
I’ve been using Kinoite on one of my daily drivers, and so far I’m loving it.
I mean I could list you at least 5 things that kinda suck on Fedora Atomic. But yes the core principle is so much better.
I don’t mean to imply it’s perfect, but as a relatively popular distro to use as a daily driver, I’ve been happy with it overall.

Pretty sure KDE’s Discover store hooks into Debian’s repos just fine too
Multiple reasons why this is not a good option.
