  • Canonical historically makes bad decisions. Ubuntu any most points in time is simply great. Their LTS is fab. But they’re hungry. And they screw with us over time. the latest Debian just erased most of the reason to go with Ubuntu adding nonfree, and they haven’t screwed us over.

    I’ve run both. Started with Gnome.

    I didn’t absolutely love the UI but it wasn’t bad.

    Installed a bunch of plugins poked it, prodded, tweaked it. Made it exactly what I wanted.

    One time I tried KDE and found that it was exactly what I was turning gnome into with all the plugins.

    Admittedly, I think the Gnome control panels and tools are nicer.






  • It’s easier to manage security that way.

    Instead of having one binary folder full of stuff that’s intended to be run with privilege access and non-privilege access, all the privileged stuff goes in sbin and you don’t even see it in your path as a regular user. It also means that access rights can be controlled at the folder level instead of the individual file level.
