Mint is better IMHO, it’s based on Ubuntu which is in turn based on Debian, but includes quality of life improvements and newer packages. Debian is nice for servers, but I would get something that is stable but still has faster updates for my desktop
Really cute, has some rough edges and the performance on deck isn’t stellar (30-40fps in the main menu), but it’s a great looking project. Hopefully it will get updated to be even better
What would be better for desktop use? It’s simple, with wizards and help for setting up almost everything, has support for all the ubuntu stuff like ppas and deb packages so if there is a linux package for some software you are usually covered, and it also doesn’t restrict you from doing whatever you want, so you can change it to your liking (and at least there is a stable base that you start changes from)
Oh yeah, and every restart takes 10 minutes of “preparing updates”
Valve takes care for brand new stuff on steam usually, except for kernel anticheat stuff where they can’t fix it.
Step 5. Watch it reboot overnight and download even more useless bloat
How is it clearly better? It’s a broken incompatible mess that’s being pushed on everyone that offers more headaches than benefits
