Is it safe to say Everythingbefore AND after Ubuntu is better than Ubuntu?
Come to think of it, I can't recall (of myriad different exploratory OS installations) a single distro I've liked LESS than Ubuntu. Other than Windows (other than xp). Scratch that. Red Hat Linux 7.1 was a pretty rough (20+years ago) install. Functional, though. At that time, Ubuntu was new-ish (pre-canonical mess). So it seemed much more beneficial to get used to. And it was, red hat Linux was scrubbed 2004.
I moved off of Nobara to Kubuntu LTS. Tried out Mint and Ubuntu before hand and gotta say, I am loving Kubuntu. I am hoping it is the last time I have to distro hop
What I've noticed is that System76 doesn't have as good of QA process compared to something like Linux Mint or Fedora. Not to say that it is bad but that's my personal experience.
I don't disagree with that. They're also a much smaller group so I think it just stands to reason.
But I do appreciate that they're taking chances (probably for the same reason). Cosmic is quite impressive already and a good alternative to Gnome/KDE/Cinnamon; better than the Pop Shell on Gnome.
Mint?
Definitely Mint.
Defimintly.
Ubuntu minus snaps plus a better DE? Mint.
