    Ubuntu has gotten worse that it seams to was a few years ago. I didn’t use it outside of servers. Many don’t like the direction that ubuntu goes with snaps. But use whatever distro you want

      It’s always seemed to me that Ubuntu has a pattern of going “Ick, NIH! Let’s replace it!” about some important system component, then giving up on their reimplementation a few years later and moving back to an equivalent mainstream component. Upstart, Unity (third parties have taken over, but Canonical no longer develops it), Mir as an independent display server . . . There are probably more that I’m missing, since it isn’t my distro. But snaps seem to me to be in the first half of that pattern. Probably they’ll give up on the system in five years or so and replace it with Flatpak.

      Oh right I forgot all about snaps. Yeah I haven’t used it as a dedicated desktop since probably 2006. It’s generally all server usage in the cloud for me these days, which basically means everything is disposable and I couldn’t care less about the full OS in general. I really do need to get back on Linux for personal use though. I don’t really care for running VMs on windows for my self hosted stuff.

        Why would anyone use Ubuntu on a server? Ubuntu is basically Debian unstable + non-free drivers that they tried to get sorta stable in 6 months. That may be ok on a desktop where you can accept some bugs in exchange for newer versions of the software. But why would you not run Debian stable on a server instead?

        Maybe 10 years ago when Debian stable got really out-of-date, but that hasn’t been true in a looong time. Debian releases much more frequently, much stabler, it has all the goid stuff from Ubuntu backported but none if the bad stuff.

          That depends on what the sever runs. For my NAS, sure, Debian is fine. But I don’t expect it to run anything that bleeding edge, and if I do there are often containers.

          However, two years ago I tried to bring up a new headless NUC as a Plex server with Debian (because that’s what I’ve been using for the last 20 years) but had to give it up because of all the hoops you have (had?) to jump through to get it working with Quicksync in Debian. With Ubuntu it just worked.

        Since I reinstall Windows (trying different versions just because) as often as I distro hop I just started using different distros in WSL. Let’s me distro hop in both OSes as I want and at the same time without any kind of dual booting problems.
