  • (except I’m a Snap hater)

    TBF snap is the fucking worst

    but any distro that is primarily associated with a company doesn’t really fit the Arch ethos of a fully community developed project. So a lot of anti-corp and freedom maxxers use it.

    That makes sense. In theory Debian is my favorite just because of their form of organization but in practice Ubuntu or Mint are much easier ways to get people out of the Microsoft pipeline because of accessibility and significantly better ethics. Debian and Arch are more practical after some Linux experience is gained.


  • I believe that Debian is the most community oriented distro. Debian was founded on the principles of giving freedom to software users. I always recommend that people use Debian rather than Ubuntu or Mint.

    Oh strong agree, for sure. I just think “corporate” typically implies publicly traded (the most explicit bourgeois), but think Canonical (to my memory) was private (petit bourgeois), which isn’t great but miles more tolerable than publicly traded, and capable of ethics that the former is incapable of. Happy to be corrected though if I’m wrong.
