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.
