    How exactly does canonical make their distribution more usable than Debian?

    On the other hand I use Debian if I intend to custom configure something and want minimal a install to start from.

    Why?

    Major upgrades on Debian are not a click of a button.

    They’re the exact same as in Ubuntu…

    On the other hand Debian is not Snap based.

    Which is a benefit to new users. They shouldn’t be conditioned to be using snaps, anyways.

    I personally don’t see much value of Mint or Ubuntu over Debian.

    They all suffer from the same issue: lack of a user repository. This means any layman is going to immediately be turned off by the distro and the whole Linux experience as soon as they want to install something that isn’t in their distro’s repository.

    Neither derivative distro can be considered ‘easier’ because of this. Might as well just go with Debian and cut out the middlemen.











  • I completely agree with this.

    I’m not an ‘anime fan,’ but there is good anime out there like Paprika and Aku no Hana. They really push what the medium is capable of and don’t just rely on tropes to appease people with low standards.

    It’s tough to recommend anime to some people because their opinion of the medium has been tainted by anime fans that will accept whatever slop is shoveled in front of their face.
