 So normally I take Saturdays off. They're usually my day off. I don't make a video. I do other things But what I've decided to do on Saturdays is kind of do one of these little short videos that are Supposedly under a minute long. They're supposed to be vertical Whatever, I'm not actually going to do any more vertical videos. They're dumb and The few that I've done have never been under a minute long. I'm incapable of not, you know talking more than I should It's a thing, you know, it's just It's a it's what it's a flaw. Okay I can't limit myself to just a minute long and Given the fact that I've been lollagagging about this video's topic for a minute already for almost a minute You see why so anyways this the topic of this video is going to be don't be ashamed of Ubuntu and I see this a lot on on the internet People like to shame people who use Ubuntu and I don't understand this mentality at all if you're Not an Ubuntu user if you use arch or you use Debian or you use Solis or you use Red Hat or Fedora or whatever And you look down upon somebody because they use Ubuntu I don't understand you because there's nothing wrong with using Ubuntu. There's It has the stench on it that it's a new user distro, which is just patently untrue Linux Mint is much more of a new user distro than Ubuntu is yes more user and more new users use Ubuntu Then use Linux Mint probably But in terms of aesthetics Linux Mint looks more like Windows than Ubuntu does if you're a new user and you're using Ubuntu You're very much more courageous because you're using a system that looks completely different than what you've probably been using for the last 20 years Or however long so The whole new user stench for Ubuntu does not really make sense to me at all So for those of you who look down upon people who have been using Linux for a long time and still use Ubuntu Don't do that It doesn't matter what distro you use. Okay, you're using Linux. It's all the same kernel Okay, it's the exact same piece of software Underlying all these distributions the only thing that changes when you change a distribution is the package manager That's literally it if I wanted to use something that looks like Ubuntu on Arch I could do that. Okay, it's just GNOME. It's literally all there is You know if I wanted to use KDE and Ubuntu I could do that those things are easily changed out So the only thing that changes Fundamentally when you change a distribution is the package manager and even that may not be true for very much longer because People are slowly transitioning to using snaps and flatpacks more and those things are cross distro. So The distro buton that you use does not matter It just doesn't matter and in the fact that we've somehow come to this point where we shame people because they use a Noob distro doesn't make any sense if you're an Ubuntu user don't let people shame you because It's not shameful to use Ubuntu. Ubuntu is a perfectly fine distribution. It's a good distribution. It's stable It's well maintained. There's a huge mungus if you can pardon the word community surrounding it and That community is very friendly like if you have a completely new question And you use Ubuntu there are tons of places where you can go and ask that question like how do I CD into it? How do I how I CD into a directory never use the How do you change a directory? You know, it's a you could go through and ask that question That's a more of a Linux question than a Ubuntu question But you'd get an answer you wouldn't get read the fucking manual you'd get the answer I mean you wouldn't get snarked at Most likely so don't let people shame you just because you use Ubuntu even if you've been using Linux for a long time And you still use Ubuntu again You can be a power user and be perfectly happy using Ubuntu. It has a great package manager It has all the software you need it games better than most other distributions do it has Every desktop environment available for that you could want you can use window managers on it if you want to It can do everything that arch can do it can does everything Gentoo can do just it just does it differently. You know, it's it's Linux. That's the point So as you can tell this is not a short I can't help it and it's whatever I could probably cut that with the first minute and it'd be shorter Anyways, if you have a comment and you want to leave it You can leave in the comment section below because that's where comments go Hence the name comment section as you can tell us late at night I get snarky late at night.
