Ubutu sucks really bad. I installed it checks notes 17 years ago and I didn't even get internet running out of the box. Fedora 41 is just so much better and I can't see how anyone can argue with that.

Yes, Fedora 41 is undoubtedly better than a 17 year old version of Ubuntu.

I personally think Ubuntu sucks, thats why I always reccomend other distros to people starting :3
Productivity: Debian (you dont need up to date packages if all you do is edit documents)
Gaming: Pop_OS (especially when Cosmic releases)
I like Ubuntu, use it as my main laptop os, and main server's os for a production system that's been upgraded through 3 LTS versions without issue. Three.
I don't think windows can do that, at all.
Have you ever upgraded the Ubuntu laptop? Cause that's my main gripe with Ubuntu. Server upgrades work, desktop upgrades never did for me.
I can't speak for plain Ubuntu, but I've got desktops running both Kubuntu and KDE Neon that have been upgraded version to version for over a decade now. (Ok I lie. The Kubuntu one is a laptop.)

Everything I don't like is Reddit
Where's the lie?
Not sure yet but the fact that the only word your username doesn't contain is "correct" I'm pretty suspicious already... /s
There's no way I'd survive lemmy with the first word being correct in my username so I had to truncate the xkcd password.
KDE plasma somehow managed to ship with an old QT version which borked libraries. So back to Ubuntu it was.
I use Kubuntu. No complaints here. Im also not super well versed in linux and my husband installed it for me so that I had something that was well supported for gaming and streaming/vtubing.
(I dont remember what he uses, he switches it weekly)
Criticizing Ubuntu is hivemind? Wow. Now do Systemd critics.
SystemD critics formed as a cult of anti-personality. This both describes what they are (people with the opposite of a personality) and what they are about (hating that shithead Lennart PΓΆttering, who is a German man who grew up in South America to his German parents if you're picking up what I'm putting down*).
Per the wiki, Lennart is well known for being a weird dick about things in the Linux ecosystem and using market power and dominance, rather than a more collaborative or tech-first approach, to push his and only his ideas forward. This rubs people the wrong way, especially in a community predominantly built on the opposite ideals, leading to the universal hatred of everything he's ever built. But it makes creating distros easier so people deal with it.
Today, he spends his time working for Microsoft and refusing to acknowledge vulnerabilities in his overly complex standards-incompliant code.
SystemD haters are of course just jealous of his ability to be completely free of self-doubt.
*To be clear I have no evidence of this and it's probably not true, but it's 2025 let's be honest nobody cares if it's true or not
Problem with Poettering is that he was right, but he was a dick about it. Like Rick Sanchez.
