The 24.10 release offers fun and freshness, but not immutability

Wait…Ubuntu is only 20? What’s the first linux? I thought ubuntu was older.

The fact that Ubuntu is derived from Debian logically means it wasn’t the first Linux-based OS.

But how would I know that?

This is gonna blow your mind. There this thing called the internet, and people put loads of information on it. You can access this using “websites” called “search engines” that index all the content.

Tried both Ubuntu 24.10 and Kubuntu 24.10 and original flavour ubuntu lost to both kubuntu’s performance and customizability.

Ubuntu was once an okay-ish distribution, many many years ago. Then Canonical got rogue, made some very sketchy and irritating decisions (walled garden, snap, advertisements with Amazon, now advertisements in their package manager, … so much more)

Ubuntu is the bane of Linux. Use upstream Debian if you like apt; Linux Mint for an easy entry; Arch, if you’re quick of wits and want to widen your knowledge and skillset.

Better to use Kubuntu edition, much better desktop and less crap that is nowdays in Ubuntu.
