    Kubuntu for modern systems, Xubuntu for older systems, Lubuntu for older, low-end systems with limited RAM, Ubuntu server for headless servers.

    Stay mad, Ubuntu haters.

      I’m fairly new to using Linux, is there an Ubuntu for every letter of the alphabet?

        It depends on the desktop environment.

        Ubuntu is the base version and uses GNOME.

        Ubuntu + KDE (the most superior of all DEs) = Kubuntu

        Ubuntu + XFCE = Xubuntu

            XFCE is not good with a touchscreen like GNOME, it’s peak with a mouse though. Still love you Xentucky Fried Cursor Environment.

        No, just for different desktop environments.

        Kubuntu is KDE, Xubuntu is XFCE, and Lubuntu is LXQt.

        If that was a serious question: no, there isn’t, there aren’t that many desktop environments and many flavors of Ubuntu aren’t named like this at all: https://ubuntu.com/desktop/flavors

      I quite like Kubuntu with the Snap-free minimal install. That said, Snaps are so bad and Canonical’s repos are so dangerous that I cannot recommend it to anyone any more. It’s a shame how greed has ruined Ubuntu.

      Snaps do suck, but from a usability standpoint, you really can’t ignore the fact that 99% of documentation assumes deb, and Ubuntu is generally more up to date than pure Debian. I don’t like it myself, but it works and it’s better than Windows.

        Snaps are awesome, I need to be on 20.04, or 18.04 for humble, for ROS noetic and so being able to install generic snaps which are fully up to date with modern software is awesome.

      I use Ubuntu for ROS and work specific tasks, but I get the fuck out when I want to game. Ubuntu looks like a job to me. Just like Windows looks like a job to me.

      But the thing is, that’s just me. Can’t imagine being mad at someone else for using it, but Ubuntu makes me irrationally mad because it’s associated to work.

        It was based on Fluxbox window manager, but pretty sure it’s been discontinued for a long, long time.

          I loved Fluxbox, which was over 20 years ago. I had completely forgotten about it.

              Kamen Rider will always be great.

              Henshin!

              Edit: I started rewatching the series a few months ago and can’t stop listening to the soundtracks again. l always loved Shunsuke Kikuchi’s music and hadn’t listened to it for far too long.

                I actually started a personal project in June to watch the entire franchise in order, including the main movies and specials. Not sure about spin-offs yet, but I’m only 2/3 of the way through Kamen Rider X so I have a lot of time to decide, lol.

                The original series’s opening song is absolutely S-tier. I keep waiting for something to top it.
