We have built a better distro, it is Mint, Debian, Fedora, and others. Ubuntu is the most well known distro among the general public. Making sure people don’t use a hostile distro like Ubuntu and are instead steered toward good ones is incredibly important.
Ubuntu is the most well known distro among the general public
Yes because it works well, has a regular release schedule and is well supported
Most people don’t care about snaps or the backend of the infrastructure that they download their app from

Then why not simply argue in favour of those distros because of their good features? What is the general public so desperately missing out on by NOT switching to Fedora? I use Debian and Ubuntu and I honestly can’t tell you, I can barely notice the difference between the two.
To give an analogy this would be like Microsoft marketing Windows not on its features it wants to promote but because it’s not terrible like Linux!! Linux is very difficult for beginners and requires extensive knowledge of computers, it has hardly any apps and isn’t well supported, it crashes frequently and is incompatible with significant amounts of hardware. Definitely don’t use linux you should use windows instead!

And that’s why they pass by distributions that make Flatpaks such a hurdle to use. Steam Deck sealed the fate of Snaps and handed Flatpak the victory. Steam Hardware & Software Survey shows a steady decline of Ubuntu in the last years.
Ubuntu is the most well known distro among the general public.
Not among all groups. Gamer, for example, mostly left Ubuntu behind already.
The most vehement Ubuntu proponents are 30+ olds who moved to Ubuntu 15 years ago and never ever broadened their horizon. That’s probably why much of Ubuntu’s community-created documentation is so outdated.
I love it when Linux users who make up 1% of the market attack each other instead of simply building/using a better distro and being happy with it
this is some proper 2007 ATI vs Nvidia nerd shit
Building a better distro means calling out problems with the existing ones.

Is this convincing you to use Windows 11?
Do you see how it sounds just like weak?
