Is there any benefit in using Linux Mint or LMDE over Debian?
is there any benefit in using Kubuntu over Debian + KDE?
Why shouldn't I just install Debian right now?

Debian is shit, ubuntu=slightly lesser bad version of debian
Ubuntu Noble is just Debian Bookworm but ruined with pointless semiver bumps and popular packages ripped out and replaced with snaps. No cap.
If you want a head kernel just add backports.
LM is better out of the box compared to Debian. Getting all the shit working the same takes some research if you don't know what you're doing.
Kubuntu just works.

it's not just werks
oh sorry there's an additional command you have to run:
sudo apt purge snapd
and then you go on the firefox website and follow the installation instructions there, nothing wrong with just installing stuff in /opt.
Ok now install aarch64 chromium on Ubuntu.
>purge snap
>go to the firefox site when you just deleted your browser
lol
doesn't snap reinstall itself?
>doesn't snap reinstall itself?
No. Stop falling for IQfy memes.
That's what guides say though
The guides are moronic then.
Firefox, Chromium and Thunderbird on apt are transitional packages that install the snap versions, so if you have those marked as installed it would make sense that it would try to install the missing snaps on an update.
Are you sure this isn't the case?
Ok but why not just use one of the dozen good distros that don't force snaps onto it's users instead?
Where?
Linux Mint
Snap rhymes with crap
in my experience it is krashbuntu while debian plasma just werks
bluetooth on debian plasma is wrecked
Debian is just raw meat ready to be cooked to your liking.
ubuntu is too welldone
ubuntu forks improve the cooking with a different style
If Debian is raw meat then what are Arch and Gentoo?
Arch = living
Gentoo = limping
Debian = dying
Fedora is more up to date.
Debian is the best choice if your computer is a 1970s mainframe, because it ships old as shit software.
>Please become bleeding edge so the rest of the distros wouldn't be so unstable in comparison
More number go up in more bleeding edge distros.
If your usecase doesn't involve razor edge margins chasing maximum compute density in a multimillion dollar datacenter you can probably just run debian.
Debian still, in 2024, has god-awful defaults. Also no hardware updates.
Sadly yes.
are these banners made in Inkscape or Adobe CC?
Debian is garbage. The Debian KDE maintainer quit and now runs Arch lol
Did he transition as well?
No, I think he violated the code of conduct or something.
You should install debian, OP
It justwerks
Its not as far behind as most claim and for casual use, even some more resource intensive usecases it is absolutely solid
>Why shouldn't I just install Debian right now?
if the installer works for you, go for it. for me it's too unreliable so i just go with lmde.
>install debian
>sorry, you had to NOT enter a password because reasons
>install mint
>it just works
The installer explicitly tells you to leave the root password empty if you want root to be disabled and for your first account to automatically be a sudoer
You literally just didn't read
You're doing it wrong homosexual
LMDE is way more "just werks" and less tinkertroony than debian
Debian can't see my C-Media sound card
Ubuntu can
