"obese pkg groups"
HA
>>54354299
First linux distro I've used, couldn't get anything to work without googling and putting in commands I didn't understand. Crashing my system with no survivors just from trying to install a theme.
If this is what spoonfeeding is like then I should just turn back now.
also good luck compiling something
it will nag you for missing pkgs every time you try after installing them one by one and give up at the end
maybe there is a dev group or something im not aware of if not man ubuntu sucks
>>54354299
I use gentoo
so basically the people that hate ubuntu are just new to linux. you should learn on debian or fedora

>>54354352
installing themes is as simple as putting them in ~/.themes/ anon
>>54354395
I did that, and it worked (sort of).
Then I tried to change theme in theme configurations and it completely crashed, every time I logged in I'd end up with an empty desktop without a taskbar or icons and no keyboard commands would work. Only thing I could do is play with the mouse and wonder where I went wrong in life.
Had to delete the theme I installed through the root in system restore just to get it to work again.

Well i get that people choose ubuntu.

The problem is, at this point, fedora/opensuse/debian are way better. And some of them are as easy to use/insta as ubuntu.
>>54354299
>installing ubuntu
>>54354511
This.
There is a learning curve with everything. People start from the easiest one with the best support and work their way up.
Coming from windows you want something with a gui for practically everything as a terminal is somewhat scary/strange.

Is this a meme? How can you have trouble installing Ubuntu?
Its been years since I used Linux for desktop-use, yet it only took 30 minutes for me to just download a 16.04 image, create a bootable USB with it using Win32DiskImager and then install on laptop.
>he doesn't know about the netinstaller
>>54354889
This. Fuck, the amount of people who think distros are bloated and don't know about netinst...

>>54354889
I know right. So many Linux babbies here. Literally all the distros have a tiny netinstall image that give you effectively the same results as doing the arch or gentoo dance.
All this distro fanboyism is totally meaningless now that systemd has become ubiquitous. Other than package managers (which all work fine these days), all the big distros (arch, centos, debian, fedora, gentoo, opensuse and ubuntu) are pretty much the same, give or take a mount point here or a symlink there.
Go get passionate about something less banal you fucking nerds.

Nothing wrong with Ubuntu or any distro for the most part
>>54354338
>>no universal search in the pkg gui
What is a "pkg gui"?
>>install something => whole thing breaks
You broke something, and that's Ubuntu's fault?
>>obese pkg groups containing non related software outside of the one requested
Even if this is true, who cares?
Of all the criticism possible of Ubuntu, you choose this pile of bullshit?

Try again. Are you referring to synaptic? The Software Center? aptitude? Do you even realize there's a difference?
>>You broke something, and that's Ubuntu's fault?
>me? no. other people online, yes
Ubuntu is one of the most used distributions ever made -- of course you're not the only one who broke it.
>>Even if this is true, who cares?

No, your post reads like you're a high schooler swelling with pride that he installed Arch 10 minutes ago.
Here are some actual issues with Ubuntu:
1. Doesn't give two fucks about your freedom, unlike Debian
2. Canonical has a track record of severe NIH, including Unity, Mir, and most painfully bzr
3. Amazon search lens casts doubt on how much Canonical really cares about users' privacy

The Ubuntu minimal installation is smaller than the Arch minimal installation.

thats again your opinion
the pkg group issue is relevant. the attitude of who cares speaks badly but you are probably right and this is how devs must feel as well
>>54357167
>the default one obv
The default one for a minimal Ubuntu installation is apt-get.
>>54354491
DE means desktop environment. It also stands for Deutschland (Germany).
>>54354299
Try using Lubuntu or Kbuntu if you have powerful enough hardware for it. KDE doesn't run so well on 2GB of RAM (poorfag). Lubuntu does it perfectly, it's just a little rougher around the edges and it's ass ugly.

Yum command has been deprecated, redirecting to '/usr/bin/dnf '.
See 'man dnf' and 'man yum2dnf' for more information.
