    Other day I was listening to piso 21 – a Colombian music group – on my Ubuntu, and their Ubuntu album came to queue. Seeing this album cover inspired me to make this meme. hope you all like it.

    there are a lot of orange, blue and, purple distros which I couldn't include. so, sorry for that.

    distro names:

    1. red: edubuntu, armbian
    2. yellow: ubuntu kylin, linux lite, ubports, voyager
    3. bodhi linux, linux mint, ubuntu mate
    4. pop os, (I forgot this bird one), KDE neon, zorin os

    image transcription:
    cover image of piso 21's ubuntu album, which has four singers in four quadrants. each quadrant has a coloured brush streak. from top clockwise: red, yellow, blue, green. superimposed on them are logos of various ubuntu-based distros/flavours, according to their colours.

    This post doesn't mention Arch. This is Arch erasure :(((

    (I use arch btw)

    [–] lemmesay@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    sorry. I often use arch wiki, so does that count?

    [–] spacesweedkid27@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Actually true.

    To understand some kernel things I often had to visit the arch wiki so that I know what options to use in the grub bootloader.

    [–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

    It’s an amazing resource

    [–] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

    Yeah where is Arch Ubuntu (Manjaro)?

    [–] xeekei@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

    Arch users uncomfortable when not about us btw

    [–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    Debian

    [–] lemmesay@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Debian + xfce/i3 is love.

    [–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

    Still have to experiment with i3

    What's your Ubuntu flavor?

    [–] domesticstreetcat@feddit.ch 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

    Pop has been fantastic and ended my distro hopping.

    [–] fl42v@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    I'd choose ubunneither

    [–] Sebbe@lemmy.sebbem.se 13 points 1 year ago

    Nobuntu

    [–] larsloveslegos@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (4 children)

    I've always enjoyed regular Ubuntu but Linux Mint is a favorite. I'd install that before anything else. I've used both on my school laptops with great success. I'd use Linux as the default if it wasn't for gaming, which is why school laptops (laptops owned by me, used for school) are the perfect use case.

    [–] janonymous@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

    +1 for Linux Mint

    [–] NightFantom@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    These days gaming on linux is pretty good, lots of games run better than on windows. Typically the only thing that doesn't work (on release, often afterwards it gets fine) is (shitty) DRM/anticheat like denuvo.

    [–] larsloveslegos@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    That's what I've heard. Maybe I'll give it another shot one day, I just lack the time.

    [–] mihnt@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    They are correct 100%. 99% of things work without issue or with minor fixes. (protondb.com for any issues you have.) I recently switched from Windows to Linux myself and ended up going with Mint.

    [–] larsloveslegos@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

    Thanks for the reassurance! I'll definitely have to do some testing

    [–] mr_satan@monyet.cc 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    I've been running ubuntu and then pop_os for a couple of years now and honestly, I'm surprized how much stuff just works out of the box.
    There are times when I need to tinker with the OS to make one thing or another work properly, but proton DB is quite a good resource for that. And I like it so it's not a big deal if I need to spend an hour messing around with the configurations.

    [–] larsloveslegos@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

    I'm not as lucky when it comes to figuring out problems. I've had bad luck with pop_os, at least when I tried it a few years ago. I'm impressed with proton DB in how far it has come but I don't have much experience with it.

    do you use windows for your gaming machine?
    i had to install it on a family laptop because of some apps that worked on windows only. I wanted to install a locked-down version of it and came across reviOS. it's a stripped down version of windows with cruft removed. it was very very fast(almost comparable to my Debian machine). perhaps it'd be of interest to you if you're into privacy. An alternative to that is winutil, which is basically a script to debloat windows.

    [–] larsloveslegos@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

    I'll have to look into those and experiment on VMs. Thanks for the info! I used to use Windows 10 LTSC and it worked great, but I wanted the Microsoft Store to experiment with ray tracing in Bedrock Edition of Minecraft as SEUS's PTGI wasn't free at the time. I use Windows 11, I'm familiar with debloating the OS since Windows 10 came out. Usually I use Spybot Anti-Beacon 1.6 and WinAero Tweaker. I then remove all the useless apps I can with a script :)

    Pop! all the way for me. I think Mint was second, but something about Pop just felt so much more natural and smooth. And it had remote desktop option out of the box, whereas all the others I would have had to install something.

    [–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

    Man I'm the exact opposite. Cinnamon feels like I'm wearing a pair of soft cotton gloves, Pop!_OS' flavor of Gnome feels like I'm wearing a pair of George Foreman grills.

    [–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

    I really like pop os. I've tried a few and for me it works best

    [–] stoy@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

    On the desk/laptop, Ubuntu, I am just more used to that, though I supose I could try Fedora.

    On a server, Debian all the way.

    [–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

    Ubuntu Server for me, much less finicky than Debian, more stable than Fedora.

    I need my servers to just come up and go, and Ubuntu does that.

    On a desktop, Fedora for me, because it's semi-rolling.

    [–] stoy@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago

    I should have clarified, at work I have mainly build Ubuntu servers, a few CentOS thrown in here and there, but at home, if I need a generic Linux server, Debian all day.

    [–] neonred@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

    Debian. So that would be Noteviluntu.

    [–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

    My Ubuntu is Manjaro.

    [–] SVcross@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

    I only use UWUntu

    [–] Johnmannesca@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

    Ubuntu Studio because I like a decent low latency kernel for audio related work

    [–] SleepyWheel@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

    Ubuntu Studio!

    [–] dimspace@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Was Mint with KDE

    Now Kubuntu since Mint discontinued their KDE flavour. (Yes you can install KDE but its a hassle to get everything seemless)

    [–] Pantherina@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

    Metapackages are a blessing. But after using KDE for a longer time its interesting to set it up manually on Arch for example, or any random distro, where you dont use the metapackage. But didnt know it was so modular!

    [–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

    Xubuntu

    [–] superfes@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

    Nunyabuntu

    [–] Windows2000Srv@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

    Ubuntu Mate all the way here. Very pleasant and smooth experience. Not the flashiest but the thing works and it works well!

    [–] EuroNutellaMan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

    Omg it's the Teenage Mutant Ninja Ubuntus

    [–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

    I'm a Mint man.
