From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

After this error screen for few seconds it automatically boots into Ubuntu.
Need Help :)
Avoid *buntu.
What did I miss? Ubuntu used to be the shit.
It's still good, it's just popular now so the edgelords hate it.
They have made quite a few questionable decisions over time and trying to push users into their own packaging format is a big no no for many. Yours is a very dumb take.
Thanks, edgelord
Can't make a coherent counter-argument? Just call them and edgelord!
Please let me know which brilliant argument your peer has made that so excited you. Is it the vague "questionable decisions", the "big no no" or that "Yours is a very dumb take?"
See the other replies that you've conveniently ignored for the meat of those decisions.
I don't know, sounds inconvenient.
Yeah, making very dumb takes like yours is much easier.
Considering your proficiency at dumb takes, I'll take your word for it.
"No u"
Wow, so clever.
Best one could expect from a Canonical shill, I guess.
Thanks, I agree that it was clever, maybe that's why you had trouble parsing it.
I also appreciate that your best attempt to insult my comment is based on your implication that your own original comment is dumb. Feels good
I had trouble parsing it?
No worries.
The above comment brought to you by Canonical.
Oh, you're sponsored?
Yes you are
The projection of your insecurities? Seems that way.
Thanks for admitting that you're insecure. Must be why you shill for Ubuntu.
Keep projecting, shill: you've talked about canonical and Ubuntu half a dozen times while I've referenced Ubuntu once in reply to OP.
How much do they pay you?
Who, that company you can't stop talking about?
That distributes a free product?
You're the first member of their street teams I've met.
Oh you're a member of the street team? Neat! Do they provide you lunch?
I'm covered, every interaction with you is a free lunch.
You can do better than that. Try again.
For me the question is rather, what's the current raison d'être for Ubuntu if you're not looking for Debian with paid support?
Granted it's been long since I've used it (I used it from 2005 or so until 2008 when I switched to Arch), but there's no really appealing quality for me there that I couldn't have with Debian. Apart from that, Canonical makes questionable decisions – snap, as others have mentioned, a total disaster in my opinion; Mir was another of their misadventures (later retrofitted into a Wayland compositor); upstart didn't turn out successful (though to give credit, it was an honest attempt at a new init system and lessons were learned); the LXD maintainer issue as of late leaves a sore taste in my mouth, plus they were always very community-unfriendly with their CLAs. And all this for what? Might as well use their upstream instead.
Ubuntu has the largest community around it, meaning you'll find help for it the fastest.
Granted, some issues are distro-agnostic, but you can't always know whether yours is, especially if you are newer to Linux.
Fastest help is Archwiki, even if you run Ubuntu...
Hard false. This is only true for experienced users. For me the Arch wiki is great, for a novice it isn't.
I disagree. It's very detailed and I think it can both help a novice and help a novice become less of a novice.
