How exactly does canonical make their distribution more usable than Debian?

On the other hand I use Debian if I intend to custom configure something and want minimal a install to start from.

Why?

Major upgrades on Debian are not a click of a button.

They’re the exact same as in Ubuntu…

On the other hand Debian is not Snap based.

Which is a benefit to new users. They shouldn’t be conditioned to be using snaps, anyways.

Oh that’s horrible.

Fedora shills need to be tarred and feathered instead of upvoted.

This person has no idea what he’s talking about and his input can be safely disregarded.

I agree. I don’t trust any of the shilling surrounding their distros.

Why would Ubuntu be better for beginners?

I personally don’t see much value of Mint or Ubuntu over Debian.

They all suffer from the same issue: lack of a user repository. This means any layman is going to immediately be turned off by the distro and the whole Linux experience as soon as they want to install something that isn’t in their distro’s repository.

Neither derivative distro can be considered ‘easier’ because of this. Might as well just go with Debian and cut out the middlemen.

Try Manjaro. It will be the easiest to set up and find software that hasn’t been deliberately packaged for your setup.

Wow, thanks for sharing this. I knew about it, but avoided doing it because I didn’t have the storage.

I decided to check it out again and see if I could specify a lower amount, and it works with decimal terabytes. I only have 10GB to spare, but it’s something!

This is the best site I’ve come across, but it’s still not perfect.

My advice is to keep spending time getting experience using free streaming services. Since very few are like kissanime/cartoon (been around forever, haven’t changed layout), if you go awhile without using them then it’s like having to relearn what to do.

This is unfortunate, but the more people we have looking at them the better they should be.

I can tell you’re a member of the next generation.

Gonna ignore you now.

This is a philosophical discussion and I doubt you are educated or experienced enough to contribute anything worthwhile to it.

Can we have a dropdown menu like we had in the 2000s?

Not sure why we decided removing the scrollbar and only showing the top 8 entries was a good idea.

VMs will crash because of running out of RAM.

It sounds like that’s exactly what’s happening with your setup, however you probably don’t need to buy more RAM to fix it.

Type free, or free -h, into a terminal to see how much RAM and swap space is being used.

Swap is a tool that allows you to use your storage drive as additional RAM when necessary. If nothing indicates swap usage when using free, then you need to enable swap space.

Ask AI “How do I enable swap on Linux” and it should give you good instructions.

Speak for yourself.

A subscription model for hardware like bikes or washing machines would be interesting.

You mean an extended warranty? Yeah, no.

Businesses always make more money off of extended warranties than they pay out in fulfilling them.

Can we stop making excuses for the people trying to take our money from us?

It’s been proven there are those willing to do this work for free, so we should cultivate that mentality.

Let’s raise standards instead of lower them. Otherwise we’re just being useful idiots.

I’ve been saying this for years, and done a pretty good job at avoiding subscriptions myself.

I only subscribe to the things I need and have no way of finding an alternative. Namely, things like utilities.

I have 0 subscriptions to anything digital.
