I legitimately like it more than regular Debian in terms of functionality, but I prefer Antergos overall on my personal laptop.

You want to something to work with little to no tweaking? You go Debian Stable. Why? Even though it might be somewhat outdated it performs just as a great and isn't a bloated piece of shit that spergs out due to being based on Debian Testing

I rest my case.

What's wrong with Debian Testing? It's a bit of a pain to setup initially, but after that it runs great.

>>54472366
Why the fuck would you want Unity? It's the shittiest thing that's ever happened to DEs behind KDE.

Unity is great. Love its stability, its keyboard shortcuts, its dock, and its window spread function.

It's not THAT bad. I don't like it personally, but it's days of being "the trainwreck that killed Ubuntu" are long over.

>behind KDE.
Okay, you can fuck right off.
KDE is good.

>>54472410
Xubuntu's pretty damn good, and I used it for years.
These days I'm more of a LXDE fan though. GTK3 is a real minefield.

>>54472464
>because debian exists
Debian and Ubuntu don't really overlap use-wise. Debian is great, but I wouldn't install it on my dad's computer.
>>
I thought it was full of proprietary garbage, but if you remove multiverse and restricted you can have a system made of 99% free software.
Sure there may be some proprietary crap in the kernel but whatever you can't expect it to be as safe as debian.
Ubuntu has more updated software and it's better for users.

Besides the community (which doesn't matter at all if you just want to use the software) there's literally nothing wrong with ubuntu.

Just use cinnamon. Or anything else for that matter

Wireshark reports no traffic being sent, if you disable zeitgeist in ubuntu 16.04

Ubuntu is pretty good, Fedora is way better in my opinion, but I judge a person more on their wm choice and config. Arch is great but the rest are babies as far as Linux goes. Shit on people for learning how control their entire computer experience all you like but a few hours of learning translated for me into incredible efficiency at work flying through tasks. Ubuntu gives you stability so you can get the hang of things if you're sick of Windows.

& here's some food for thought,
what if the "ubuntu server" thing you're seeing isn't just some kind of redirect from citrix, cloud flare, or amazon to protect their servers? i've seen all kinds of sites use these services a lot, even this site, which runs on OS X server.
just b/c you see "linux" on netcraft doesn't necessarily meant that the site is actually running it.
i guess this is the part where i drop the mic

i might be wrong, but i seriously think that only types of people who hate apt are the people who don't read its documentation,
or even look up a tutorial about how to use it.
but i guess some people can't be bothered.

It's bloated. I hate how some companies make their employees use Ubuntu instead of just Debian or whatever they'd like.
>>
>>54471853
Yeah, it's why the arch nemesis community has gone to shit. Every edgy teen wants to get their hands on it. I used it for like a year and a half and said fuck it. Arch Linux is more of just a tinker toy. Feels good to be a Gentooman.

Unity is a non-customizable piece of shit. Apart from that it's a debian.

'Cause Canonical is shit.

zeitgeist is useful locally as well. why not just disable the online searches, which are disabled by default in 16.04 anyway
