And I like having my software up-to-date. It sucked ass when I was on Mint and one of my favorite programs had an update and I had to wait months for it to hit the repos.
Ubuntu has never been remotely stable for me. Something stupid breaks or becomes difficult to get what I want out of it.
Been that way since it came out for me.
I find Arch much less hassle than Ubuntu ever was.
Just recently put Ubuntu on a machine for a work project. It was broken from the get go, throwing errors and being it’s usual shitty self.
I could never recommend it.
Fedora on the other hand has been on a spare laptop for about 6 months and I gotta say they really have put some polish in. Updates are frequent but reasonable and most everything works well. Some small issues but they are not show stoppers and Fedora is aware of them.
i find that distros focusing on ease of use tend to not tolerate modding and prodding as well as the distros focusing on modularity and customizability.
i think its time to consider something like arch or gentoo when you are changing it around too much at the expense of some more maintaining.
aaaand thats why i like “newbie” distros like ubuntu mint fedora and such.
i want my computer to work without a hitch and without having to maintain the OS.
