        Well why not? It’s just Debian with a bunch default stuff and updated more often. 🙄

        But aren't ~95% of their packages taken straight from Debian? Also Amazon ads integrated into your search is a pretty shitty thing.

        That is no longer the case. Ubuntu done lots of hard work so that average joe can use linux on desktop

        How does Ubuntu taking 95% of their packages from Debian affect usability though? Ubuntu has been user-friendly for ages now, hasn't it?

        What about Mint? I really like it. But I want to try Arch too

        You should use what you like. Keep mint and install arch in your vm. Test it. If you liked it, make a switch to arch. Good luck

        The difference is that you can have a bit of pineapple sometimes, and you don't have to re-cook your tomato sauce and buy a new oven for it.

        That's the same as "M$" and "Microshaft" which I *still* keep seeing on Reddit threads. Exhibit A:https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/6ehi0b/server_disk_space_cleanup_question_2008r2_2012/ …

        It's an automatic sign that you are the dumbest one in the room. A Trump voter or climate denier would say these things.
