I use Ubuntu at work. I don’t even care, it’s legit 500% faster than my work Windows laptop, despite being objectively lower-speccd.
I use nobara at home. Windows free in my personal life for like a decade at least now. I wanted something solid out of the box, not atomic (I like the idea I just think it’s overkill for a home workstation. The sheepdog is a pet, not part of flock), fedora based with good brtfs support.
But Ubuntu is good enough. Not as if “better than windows” is a particularly high bar, though.
So I have this old sony bravia that technically supports 120hz but only with a custom EDID, and somewhere along the line of making the EDID I screwed up the display name. But I have one HDMI going to the TV and one HDMI going to the AVR for audio (to minimize input latency). It looks even more absurd in display properties lol.
When I have even the smallest bit of time and headspace to dedicate to it, I will switch back to Debian as it was always my favourite but really can’t deal with it at the moment.
I really did not like the process of upgrading from one stable version of Debian to the next. It went OK, but i remember being anxious the whole time, compared to Ubuntu’s gui workflow, and failing that, the one-command cli version that i always have to look up
Nothing wrong with Ubuntu if you just wanna get stuff done and don’t have a genuine interest in (or time to spend on) tweaking your OS.
I use Ubuntu btw.
Same here. I use Ubuntu BTW.

There is lots wrong with Canonical imho, but this isn’t the place for it.
Debian here. IMO “btw” is reserved for a particular distribution and you know which one it is.
As of the latest dumpster fires over there, they’re wanting to hide it nowadays!
I hope this is close enough.
You’re so cooked now that I got your IP
oh shit, don’t hack me bro!
Too late, I already know your username is
kieronWell I just changed my IP to
10.0.2.59so GOOD LUCK!It looks like you are running this to the AVR, wired or through wifi/BT?

What do you mean?
I like Debian, it is boring in the best way.

I love a boring OS that just works for 90% of things and you just live with whatever the other 10% is - usually some driver quirks or peripheral funk.
I’ve never used the gui for upgrade but I also have a hard time remembering
do-make-release.Same, one LTS to the next, and all online tutorials assume you’re on it. My years of messing with fstab, alsamixer and such are long behind me.
(Started on mandrake in about 2001 btw)
