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.

Oh that’s horrible.

Fedora shills need to be tarred and feathered instead of upvoted.

This person has no idea what he’s talking about and his input can be safely disregarded.

I agree. I don’t trust any of the shilling surrounding their distros.

Why would Ubuntu be better for beginners?

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.

Try Manjaro. It will be the easiest to set up and find software that hasn’t been deliberately packaged for your setup.

VMs will crash because of running out of RAM.

It sounds like that’s exactly what’s happening with your setup, however you probably don’t need to buy more RAM to fix it.

Type free, or free -h, into a terminal to see how much RAM and swap space is being used.

Swap is a tool that allows you to use your storage drive as additional RAM when necessary. If nothing indicates swap usage when using free, then you need to enable swap space.

Ask AI “How do I enable swap on Linux” and it should give you good instructions.

They need to unionize.

“We must, indeed, all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately.” - Benjamin Franklin

Should’ve unionized.

Yep.

It feels like people are put there just to plant these ideas into the heads of the next generation of developers.

They almost had it.

Once China takes the semiconductor crown, the US isn’t getting it back.

Glad I get to be alive to witness communism beat capitalism. While the US ruling class wastes its money on dumb shit like “space tourism,” the Chinese ruling class has been investing vehemently into its own populace.

Yeah. All the FUD about Huawei really solidified in my mind how stupid the average internet user is these days.

It’s like, everything they were bitching about has already been confirmed to be happening with US companies thanks to PRISM and the Snowden leaks.

We need to keep in mind that businesses like Apple are already charging the most they think customers are willing to pay.

Tariffs will hurt their bottom line by causing them to lose more in sales than they can make up for by raising unit prices.

Slavery never went away, they just added extra steps.

You shouldn’t have subscribed in the first place.

Is babbel free software?

Using apple products is a humiliation ritual.
