Cannocial knows what they’re doing like Redhat. Many of the smaller distros are insecure because they’re run by a small group of volunteers who don’t entirely know what they’re doing.
I’d imagine people would still prefer forks of Canonical’s work than the original source tho. That’s kind of Mint’s whole deal - Ubuntu, without the bullshit.
Genius. All large business is evil and incompetent.
Small problem, I wrote competent, not confident. As in a competent person would have noticed I typed “knows what they’re doing” and omitted Novel. Or know the security history of distros like mint.
Who the fuck still uses Ubuntu in 2025?
I’ve been a Ubuntu user since 2005. I’ve dabbled in other distros but it’s just what I’m familiar with so I keep coming back.
thanks @[email protected] (I’d imagine that as a lemmynsfw username.)
Me, using server software that explicitly requires using an official Ubuntu distro as a dependency
Mint on the main laptop tho.
Me, I just have never reinstalled my OS partition in 15ish years

Except I’m old and remember all the times Mint’s maintainers fucked up. Like a dosen other small forks of Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora and Arch.
You know who else is, publicly, very confident in what they’re doing? Microsoft.

I wouldn’t go that far
And Debian and Gentoo and OpenBSD and Arch and Alpine… Slackware.
Lots of well run time tested OS projects out there.
Me, because someone at my work picked it for servers back in the day
Me.
Fair enough, have a nice day.
Thanks, you too. :)
