Ubuntu is turning like Windows
(thelemmy.club)
I guess it's time to leave Ubuntu as a new user and switch to a new distro. Ubuntu, Xubuntu, and Mint were my choice, but their base, Ubuntu, is becoming "bloated", and turning to a latest computers' OS. And I think it will affect its derivatives. Which distro would you suggest to switch to. I aint rich. I'm already aware of Fedora and its xfce, kde spins, Opensuse Leap and Tumbleweed, Debian and its derivatives, and Void. Are you planning to switch too.
When I first switched to Linux 18 months ago everyone raved that mint is the easiest most user friendly windows like operating system and I would be best of using that one.
I hated mint, and having now done 12ish total Linux installs I have enjoyed everything else I have used significantly more. Anything running kde plasma seems to actually be the most windows like for new users, best I can tell.
it's not like i can't do a distro without plasma, i just refuse to xD
Its funny, I hated plasma on kubuntu. Felt slow and seemed like constant bugs. But on Bazzite, now Cachy, its amazing.
When I started using Linux i knew that i didn't want Gnome for it's style so i went with a distro with KDE. I've since tried using WM's or other DE's but always fall back to Plasma. Best desktop I've used in 30 years and i barely change the defaults 🤷
