I just installed it on my son’s desktop with Cinnamon. It’s good enough for me. It’s the server OS I prefer to use so I’m most familiar with it. And has the same excellent software compatibility as Windows; Most tutorials assume Ubuntu.
Oh and I’ve been using Lubuntu for the past year on my road laptop. No issues.
Good enough.
- tasuki 11mo agoI mean, you're the sysadmin, so I probably shouldn't explain things to you. But I spent 20 years with Ubuntu and recently switched to Debian. The tutorials work the same. The disadvantage of Ubuntu is its weird mixture of apt and snap. The snaps self-update when they feel like it (eg when you're on a train, wasting your precious data). Debian uses apt for everything. It's a lot simpler and you have more control over it.
- cbdevidal 11mo agoI cut my teeth on Debian many moons ago. It’s alright, but I’m content with Ubuntu, having run Lubuntu now on my road laptop for a year.
- aaomidi 11mo agoGood enough is a wacky metric. Linux desktop is having so much positive changes happen to it. Something like Bazzite or Cachy is a significantly better experience for general desktop usage. Also, most tutorials when we’re talking about desktop no longer assume Ubuntu. There’s a reason steam decided to be based on arch for the steam deck.
