Why not arch or debian? Serious question
New Ubuntu install. The first thing I'm doing? Compiling Notedeck. Yes, I took a picture of my screen like a boomer, but I also don't have anything else installed, so I can't use a web app to post a screenshot 🥹 https://nostrcheck.me/media/3f770d65d3a764a9c5cb503ae123e62ec7598ad035d836e2a810f3877a745b24/3fcff8f2175fd6b98c57f9e4674832f4dd9b455b4cbcc4ba64e1c5efe8a8a31b.webp

Because I haven't ran Ubuntu Desktop in over 10 years and I want to see how it's changed.
It's pretty bloated, but it's got a lot of great features. Personally, I prefer Mint with xfce. A lot of people prefer Cinnamon, but I've been using xfce for so long that it's like second nature to me. Go with with what you know!
I used Mint with both Cinnamon and Xfce for many years. I preferred Cinnamon. I may go back to that actually. The ISO is downloaded 🥹
It feels like a more streamlined Ubuntu that retains the core functionality and features of Ubuntu.
id honestly lke to run fedora again. it's my favorite flavor. plus all of my 100+ work servers are all redhat so i am very familiar with the underlying system. however, all of my personal servers, less than 10, all run ubuntu server.
Ive never read a more pure reason. Curiousity endures.
