@cyborganism @cm0002 I tried to deploy it for my software team, but I had to backtrack during the early testing phase after a number of issues. Kubuntu seems way less tested than normal Ubuntu. We ended up going with Mint instead, which is also what I would recommend.

I would imagine this might change a bit in Lubuntu 26.04, being on KDE 6 is probably a very good thing for an LTS

@eu_[email protected] I find this post somewhat confusing because EU OS is based on Fedora, which by default only applies updates during reboots, kind of like Windows. You can change this in the settings if you prefer "live" updates. I guess EU OS changes this default behavior compared to Fedora?

@cyborganism if you like the good improvements that Ubuntu provides on top of Debian, but want to avoid anti-user things like snaps and ads in the CLI, there are several distros that are built like that, such as Mint and Tuxedo OS

@cyborganism Isn't it easier to just not use Ubuntu? If you want to avoid snaps, Ubuntu is probably not where you want to be, I think

@merompetehla Linux Mint XFCE is basically the same thing as Xubuntu, except without Canonical's bad proprietary decisions like snaps. It's much more of a drop-in replacement than, say, Debian.

@carloshr @privacy @linux Elementary used to feel way ahead of its time, now it feels a bit behind instead. Not exactly a bad distro, but also not my top pick. Linux Mint has been rock solid for me for many years.
