Linux@programming.dev•After 9 Months on Mint I switched to Kubuntu and I'm loving it!!English
3·3 days agoThanks solid advice.
I do care about why people don’t like cononical, but it’s a marathon not a sprint.
Every step in the right direction is a win.
I really want to find a nice distro that just works and that I can eventually switch friends and family onto.
It might not be the MOST ethical or best distro, but it’s better than Microsoft and to me that’s enough.
