rustydrdLet's talk about something else
AcortexOT“Oh god, they will immediately be able to tell I am a fraud who has no idea what he’s doing when I tell them I use Ubuntu”
Ubuntu is fine and I actually am on Ubuntu after using Arch for many years
I use Ubuntu. I think it’s funny how Arch users immediately assume they know more about Linux than me because of my distro choice. My hobby is learning about Linux and I can do that perfectly from my Ubuntu machine.
I’ve used Arch in the past, and let me tell you, nothing crazy is going on in there.
Yes, Ubuntu sucks because they are forcing Snaps on people while snaps are slow as hell. Thankfully they haven’t fully shoved snaps down our throats. If they don’t make snaps faster before shoving them down my throat, I’ll just distro hop. Probably to Debian. I love Debian.
zbeckerFor me, the most important part of a distribution is the package manager.
That is why I use #NixOS. There is nothing wrong with #ubuntu the elitism of the vocal minority of #arch users is just annoying.
That being said, there is a higher skill floor to arch over Ubuntu, but that doesn' say anything regarding your skill.
frebtherat@zbecker @pazukaza @alcasa for me it's about what containers I'll most likely be working with so my personal OS knowledge applies to working with those containers. I don't want to look up the package manager commands when editing a dockerfile. Ubuntu and Debian are pretty ubiquitous. I've never seen anything running on an Arch container in an enterprise production environment. Then of course there is Alpine, which I deal with regularly and can't stand. Also, #regolith on Ubuntu is amazing.
