Ubuntu is massively overrated. It's a bloated distro owned by a greedy corporation.

    I respect a lot what they did though. Ubuntu and Fedora worked and improved a lot of Linux's new technologies. Plus their focus and model is more focused on the server side.

    Yeah. Ubuntu has kind of taken a turn over the years but its still a super user friendly distro and they have done a lot to make linux more accessible for the masses. They also serve as a base for a number of other distros to build off of an as a result theyre an easy choice for a newbie to gravitate towards.

    the snaps are terrible and they now have ads in the server version (CLI)

    ads in the server version (CLI)

    Dude, what?

    I see it is in motd, but is it dynamic? I mean does it fetch new ad when needed?

    I run the newest version of ubuntu server and it's pretty much adds for ubuntu pro. But to be honest I don't really mind it. They offer the extended updates for free for a handful of computers if you sign up for it. If the tradeoff for 10 years of support is some adds I am okay with it

    It should probably take Mint's place on this list.

    Although, speaking as a fan of Mint who used it as my "daily driver" for years, I think the time has come for them to switch from Ubuntu to Debian and embrace Wayland. I know that, if I'd stayed with Mint, I've have gone to LMDE by now.

    I agree on both. The reason I left Cinnamon was because I had to use Waydroid, so I switched to plasma and never came back.

    Linux Mint surely is disabling more "features" from Ubuntu than it's using at this point.

    Only issue I can see with LMDE compared to the Ubuntu variant is that some of their homegrown tools and stuff aren't included in LMDE for whatever reason. But, if they shifted their focus to LMDE and added all the tools there to give you the proper Mint experience, I think it would be amazing.
