What's the best ubuntu variant?

Install Gentoo

It's open source so yes it's botnet free. Per /g/ definition, though, everything connected to the Internet is a botnet and thus only TempleOS qualifies as truly botnet free.

For Ubuntu I would recommend Xubuntu or Ubuntu MATE. Keep in mind that if you for example don't like the default file manager you can always replace it.

Thanks bro, I was just worried it would be like the normal ubuntu which has a ton of amazon shit.

I will keep on using xubuntu then.

It's 2016, use fedora if you consider ubuntu.

Kubuntu

Plain Ubuntu uses Unity as it's desktop environment. It had some Amazon search thing enabled by default which made the community really upset. Still there but at least it's opt-in now instead of opt-out.

Windows 10

ubunru mate
linux mint
xubuntu

those are your best options. i use mint. don't fall for the KDE meme

If I wanted a barebones Ubuntu installation, like no WM or anything so I can then customize myself, what is recommended? Ubuntu minimal or ubuntu server or something else? I need ubuntu because Unity3D only officially supports that distro but I kind of want a real minimal install.

Nothing is better than normal Ubuntu LTS.

Xubuntu core

Honesty, XFCE is a great little DE that doesn't get enough credit.

Linux Mint

minimal iso + base install for gnu utils then go the arch way and choose what to install manually.
Don't fall for the ubuntu variant memes, they're all bloated and shit by default.

I just did a Ubuntu Minimal + i3wm install. It's pretty comfy.
