Kubuntu for modern systems, Xubuntu for older systems, Lubuntu for older, low-end systems with limited RAM, Ubuntu server for headless servers.

Stay mad, Ubuntu haters.

    I'm fairly new to using Linux, is there an Ubuntu for every letter of the alphabet?

    It depends on the desktop environment.

    Ubuntu is the base version and uses GNOME.

    Ubuntu + KDE (the most superior of all DEs) = Kubuntu

    Ubuntu + XFCE = Xubuntu

    I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Gubuntu, is in fact, Gnome/Ubuntu, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNUbuntu. Ubuntu is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning Gnome system made useful by the Gnome libs, utilities and vital system apps comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the Gnome system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Gnome which is widely used today is often called GNUbuntu, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the Gnome system, developed by the Gnome Project.

    There really is a Ununtu, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Ubuntu is like he 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 Gnome desktop system: the whole system is basically GNU with Ubuntu added, or GNUbuntu. All the so-called Ununtu distributions are really distributions of GNUbuntu!

    Snaps do suck, but from a usability standpoint, you really can't ignore the fact that 99% of documentation assumes deb, and Ubuntu is generally more up to date than pure Debian. I don't like it myself, but it works and it's better than Windows.

    I use Ubuntu for ROS and work specific tasks, but I get the fuck out when I want to game. Ubuntu looks like a job to me. Just like Windows looks like a job to me.

    But the thing is, that's just me. Can't imagine being mad at someone else for using it, but Ubuntu makes me irrationally mad because it's associated to work.

    It was based on Fluxbox window manager, but pretty sure it's been discontinued for a long, long time.

    I loved Fluxbox, which was over 20 years ago. I had completely forgotten about it.

    New set of memories unarchived, thanks!

    Kamen Rider will always be great.

    Henshin!

    Edit: I started rewatching the series a few months ago and can't stop listening to the soundtracks again. l always loved Shunsuke Kikuchi's music and hadn't listened to it for far too long.

    I actually started a personal project in June to watch the entire franchise in order, including the main movies and specials. Not sure about spin-offs yet, but I'm only 2/3 of the way through Kamen Rider X so I have a lot of time to decide, lol.

    The original series's opening song is absolutely S-tier. I keep waiting for something to top it.
