      Ubuntu is actually falling down the ad hole lately. It’s not great, even if you leave out the technical issues that the distribution leans into these day (snaps, amongst other things)

        does kubuntu have the same issues? kinda want to go for a debian or ubuntu based kde distro and kubuntu is always highly recommended.

              LMDE? The comfort of Mint with the stability of Debian. I picked it for my wife, who doesn’t want to mess with configs and tinkering around. I play tech support for her system when something goes wrong though.

          In the system update dialog, you’ll see something like:

          You’re not getting 53 critical security updates! Join Ubuntu Pro to keep yourself safe!

          Ubuntu Pro is a subscription service.

          This is seriously at the level of Norton “AntiVirus”, and it’s truly absurd and nakedly predatory.
