I turned to Ubuntu for daily work since ~4yrs, having used Gentoo 6yrs before.
Ubuntu is definetly a well-maintained Distro, and with Launchpad/add-apt-repository, the package list is easily extendable. On all laptops tried so far, it runs great out of the box.
However, if you are familiar with Fedora, don't even think about Ubuntu. I like it because I know how it works and Im not that familiar with Fedora (tried it half a year but rolled back).
- ilovetux 8y agoThank you for your response. I am very familiar with Fedora as well as CentOS/RHEL and that is where most of my experience lies, but I would like to see what it feels like to use a Debian distro as a daily driver. I've been using Ubuntu all day today and am disappointed about a few things. Because I want to see what it feels like to use a Debian based distro I think I will actually go with Kali Linux at least for now.
