Ubuntu users: why not just Debian?

>>59561425
Because Unity.

>>59561425
Same shit anyway

>>59561472
But Unity is spyware.
>>59561474
Mostly, except without all that spyware.

>>59561501
You can use Ubuntu without Unity.

Hell yea

>>59561548

No Solidworks? No Adobe suite? No Altium?

I guess it's good for writing command line apps and bragging about all your reactive apps and dockers...

>he fell for the 2 gb and 2 cores meme

>>59561425
Did they port unity already? No? Still too stupid? Ah, okay, I'll jusst stick to Ubuntu for now.

>>59561425
Unity is great, newer packages, better out of the box experience.
Spyware meme hasn't been relevant since 16.04 and even before that it was very easy to uninstall.

I did switch lol

>>59561642
Wine is really easy to set up and there are many user friendly qemu/kvm frontends available. Creating a VM in virt-manager doesn't take more than a minute and that's an overestimation.

Debian Backports...

Or use testing repo...

>>59561425
because it just werks

>>59561472
HAHAHAHA

>>59562315
>Or use testing repo...
No.
>next-stable testing has the worst security update speed. Don't prefer testing if security is a concern.

The only reasonable choices are sid or stable+backports, compared to both of them ubuntu offers a few releases to choose from where the balance b/w stability/security/up-to-date packages can be closer to one or the other depending on your preferences without going to full autism of either
