    Mint > Ubuntu > Lubuntu > Arch (desktop) / Debian (server)

    I switched away from Canonical the first time I saw an ad when running apt update & apt upgrade, fuck them forever.

    I’m sticking to Arch because its easier to install something myself than to rip apart something prepackaged.

    I’m curious about trying Void.

        Since at least 3 years and 9 months ago.

        The message I recall was different though, it was advertising Ubuntu Pro for better security updates. All it did was make me feel like I’m using an insecure system.

      That’s exactly what I ended up with, Arch on my gaming laptop, Debian on the server.
      It is weird not having a desktop computer, but the laptop plays all the games and the server does all the rest.

      You might find Void too barebones but it’s nice like that. When you finish void-installer for the first time, you get a system with 144 packages only.
