No, it's not and it never was.

>>53573770
Yes, at this point It's all about what desktop environment to pick - because ubuntu core should be there in your desktop regardless.

So by your standards normie means non-pedophile.

How do you even come to this conclusion, regarding

Elite users hate Ubuntu because of its appeal to normies. If OP is a normie, Ubuntu is good for him. (And because he even asked this question, he probably is.)

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux,
is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.
Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component
of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell
utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day,
without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU
which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are
not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a
part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system
that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run.
The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself;
it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is
normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system
is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux"
distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

That's not how you spell Xubuntu

Mint

>>53574263
Having used both Arch and Ubuntu, I just would like to say, "Fuck ubuntu".

>>53573770
It's a bit too bloated for my liking but for average user it's a great distro.

arch and ubuntu is for faggot niggers

use centos, rhel, and fedora if you want to have an actual job
>>
Mint (cinnamon) is the best if you want a daily OS.

Fedora is best if you are looking to get a job using Linux because how close it is to Red Hat.
>>
>>53574692
Well having used Debian, Ubuntu (flavors; Unity wasn't much to my liking), Mint, Arch and RedHat I would say fuck Arch and Mint.
>>
>>53574731

>Mint
>So incompetent that your site gets hacked
>>
>>53575147
They also caught and fixed it in one day. Even major companies usually can't pull that off.

And if you are implying that websites can be unhackable just shows how little you really know.
>>
It's easy. It just werks.

I personally don't like Unity but if it works for you then there is nothing wrong with it.

I recommend using xubuntu or ubuntu gnome.

That depends on you as the user.

For me the best Linux is Fedora

who is this semen demon?
>>
>>53573770
if you're a beginner to linux and find mint isn't your thing, then yes. I've only been playing around with linux for a year, so I still rely on Ubuntu, but I'll probably move to Debian soon. Ubuntu is quite nice for gaming, I must say.

Probably. And if any of us look like their stereotype (fat neckbeard Arch User), even more.
