A point that's not been discussed in the Ubuntu vs Debian discussion here is the difference in communities. A major reason I prefer Ubuntu - ok specifically Kubuntu - is because I find the community around it warm, welcoming, positive, encouraging and inclusive, whereas I found the Debian-user email list cantankerous to say the least. I'm glad there's a place for the kinds of posters out there in the world, but it's not for me. Horses for courses, as we say in the UK. Linux isn't just a bunch of software that I can use, but a community which I am a part of.
- retSava 8y agoOT: cantankerous - bad-tempered, argumentative, and uncooperative thanks for the vocabulary expansion!
- unstuckdev 8y agoI (and probably the person you replied to) take all these words for granted. It didn't occur to me someone hadn't heard of them. Check out the thesaurus entry for cantankerous for some more useful, related, and probably less common than I think terms: https://www.thesaurus.com/browse/cantankerous https://www.thesaurus.com/browse/cantankerous
- retSava 8y agoThanks! And I don't wish people to stop using less common words - I do enjoy an expanded vocabulary, just for the record. The comment was just to save others a couple of clicks :).
- nanna 8y agoMust admit that the OT (OP?) needed some help from a spell checker to write it though ;) To add that the word generally springs to my mind everything you said, plus elderly.
