hot take?

Edit: got nothing against Ubuntu, it’s Linux after all and that’s what matters 🌻 Edit2: people took this very seriously for being a shower thought…

    Im of the opinion that the distro is far less important than the Desktop Environment. Ubuntu only really “feels like Ubuntu” because of GNOME.

      Most of what differentiates a distro from another is one of:

      • package manager
      • default packages/configurations (including the desktop environment)
      • init system

      The rest well… it’s Linux.

        I’d argue it’s just the first two. Systemd gets a lot of hate but many don’t notice the difference between distros with or without it

      Definitely, I don’t really like Ubuntu that much even though it’s my go-to. What I like is Xfce. Whether I get it via xubuntu or something else I don’t really care.
