I’ve been using Ubuntu as my daily driver for a good few years now. Unfortunately I don’t like the direction they seem to be heading.

I’ve also just ordered a new computer, so it seems like the best time to change over. While I’m sure it will start a heated debate, what variant would people recommend?

I’m not after a bleeding edge, do it all yourself OS it will be my daily driver, so don’t want to have to get elbow deep in configs every 5 minutes. My default would be to go back to Debian. However, I know the steam deck is arch based. With steam developing proton so hard, is it worth the additional learning curve to change to arch, or something else?

      Some people like to rag onto Canonicals bad decisions. These include:

      1. Putting ads in the terminal
      2. Use of Affiliate links in the DE
      3. The forceful use of Snap
      4. The proprietary Snap infrastructure
      5. The feeling of being abandoned, in favour of the server market (lack of desktop innovation)
      6. Lens search, that allows company (eg: Amazon) tracking.
      7. Anti-privacy settings enabled, by default.
