lol ubuntu is the shitty 4kids dub.
Hey, I like my Ubuntu workstation!
anomaly you are my friend and a good person but you are the worst Sinner I know.
What exactly do you not like about It? I haven’t tried any other flavors of Linux, because work computer, but I’m thinking of getting a Linux box when my current laptop bites it and I’m not too attached to it being Ubuntu. Make your case.
First: Ubuntu, like so many Linux variants, is really just a collection of defaults. There is very little difference between Ubuntu and Debian under the hood, and what differences do exist are irrelevant to you since you’re a coder.
So when I say “Ubuntu”, I mean “the collection of default packages that come with Ubuntu”, because that’s pretty much all it is.
If I’m being objective, probably the only one that really matters is Unity/Gnome/whatever window manager they’re using now. Window managers that aren’t tiling are bad. This is not an aesthetic claim; I genuinely believe that switching to a tiling window manager (i3, xmonad, etc.) will make most people more productive in the long term.
I personally hate having packages that I don’t use (the graphical package manager, the file manager, all the multi media stuff Ubuntu comes with, etc.) but I guess these aren’t actually harmful (although they might hurt start up times).
TLDR: by all means install Ubuntu. Just don’t let it stay Ubuntu.
What would you recommend as a starting tiling window manager for someone who is only a programmer in the loosest possible sense?
