    Why do Linux people shit talk each other for using a different distro? It makes no sense.

    Because they can't handle the templeOS supremacy

    Because the ubuntu edition is just sypware (thanks canonical). Linux is great, but their are good and bad choices to be made

    I don't have a horse in the race, because Linux anything is better than the alternatives but I do think its funny that this infographic says Ubuntu has pushed malware through apt, but makes no mention of the XZ backdoor for Debian

    That wasn't specifically Debian

    it ended up in a few different repos but was caught by someone using Debian Testing

    You're right. It was the whole Linux kernel but it was published in the official repo for Debian so criticism for Ubuntu seems hypocritical

    Thank you for the sources. However, from your own source Mint appears to be fine. Ubuntu, agreed, isn't worth touching but Mint seems to remove the problems with Ubuntu.

    4 If you are a desktop user who values control and simplicity β€” consider migrating: Linux Mint, Pop!_OS, Fedora, and Debian all offer compelling alternatives without Snap's structural issues. The migration cost is real but one-time; the ongoing friction of managing Snap on Ubuntu compounds with every package and every update.

    5 If you recommend distros to others β€” update your recommendation: Developers who previously defaulted to "just install Ubuntu" when helping friends or onboarding team members should now give this advice more thought. Linux Mint in particular offers a nearly identical user experience to Ubuntu's classic desktop with none of the Snap-related friction.

    On the server...? Isn't RHEL used primarily on servers?

    Yes and no. Fedora is the upstream of RHEL, and like Fedora there are both workstation and server editions. The relationship is similar to RHEL being the LTS of Fedora but not quite the same. A lot of governments and enterprises that have switched to Linux for workstations are using RHEL.

    There's desktop RHEL, we used to run a CAD software on RHEL or SUSE

    I know there is. It's just very seldomly used.

    It may not be home user choice, but in enterprise CAD PLM it is. Out of all the Desktop Distros, only SUSE and RHEL were supported so you had to pick one.

    I'm not even talking just home use. I actually work for Red Hat. Granted I work in the public sector so what I see might be skewed, but I rarely ever see anyone use the desktop version.

    Yeah, I'm sure there are segments that only use server stuff instead of workstations. I'm on the other end I only deal with desktop, as we have IT for server Stuff

    What's funny is even internally we don't use RHEL desktop. When I first stared our CSB (Corporate Standard Build) was RHEL 7. These days it is Fedora.

    Long-term support and distro-branched tool chains are a boon to the workstation too. And all of lennarts cancer has been in support of dynamic networking changes and wifi devices; no overlap with a server, but they include that shit at every turn. So obviously they're primarily geared for laptops and servers are a target of opportunity -- and their decline in stability over 3-4 distro versions just backs that up.
