Alright guys, what Linux distro am I switching to today?

I've never run Mint or Debian on my home desktop but those seem like the obvious options.

I'm not installing Gentoo or Arch because my choice of distro is not based on insecurity about my peepee size and I'm looking for everyday ease of use and a large support base.

edit: currently installing mint debian edition pray for me brothers

edit2: mint debian thus far seems better/less buggy than ubuntu without major downsides :marseythumbsup:

Debian is good but it's also kinda bad. Everything is so outdated. Imo making the OS be so intertwined with a specific python version was a mistake.

Edit: I only use it for servers for that reason.

Debian is great

do the minimal install and it's absolutely perfect with any DE/WM you choose

personally i use KDE with the minimal kde-plasma-desktop package

I have been using mint for a couple years

Straightforward, works out of box, doesn't have problems that other linux also doesn't have

Debian is better if you want more customization without going full archtism

Yeah I'm leaning Mint.

LMDE maybe? Seems like it would be more secure to cut canonical out entirely. Also I am mad as frick about getting this shitty fricking ubuntu pro garbage on my god darn computer.

In all seriousness I would reccomend Fedora but apparently it sucks now so just go with mint, which I have had little problems with or Debian.

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

Yeah I've run Fedora in the past and it was buggy as all heck

I like Mint for desktop use because it just werks

Debian is a good OS for servers as long as you take steps to harden it.

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

I would switch to Ubuntu. It even has a nice Pro version where they give you security fixes for free (for personal use)

It's the best distro hands down

Its built on Ubuntu too so many things would probably feel familiar to you

debian

The downside of Debian is that I'd imagine it's more fiddly in day-to-day use than something like Mint (or LMDE?) but I suppose it's hard to know if it's fiddly in a way that's actually annoying for me unless I try it out. :marseyhmm:

Not really

Minimal, well supported and lots of compatibility

Debian, but be prepared to compile most software you want the latest version of.

upgrade ubuntu?

Jump in the discussion.

mint is good

fedora if you like corpros

nobara is supposedly good if you do gayming

debian is better if you switch to unstable repo IMO (they still tend to be stable)

i personally use gentoo but thats because im already a poweruser and the control gentoo has is pretty unmatched.

There's only one right answer. Choose carefully :pointgun:

Maybe switch to Ubuntu? It's well supported.

Nobara is the best distro. It's fedora but it already has all the gaming autism shit setup.

I just don't like how a lot of things don't come with a basic setup to get started with, and how I have to manually install certain packages that come by default on other distros for compatibility.

It's not bloatware. I just can't be assed to make my own config for every small piece of software running on my machine.

Won't the other distros just have roughly the same security cadence as ubtunu without the pro stuff though?

The without the pro stuff is what I'm looking for.
