Fair enough, but I don't put Ubuntu in the same class as Debian, because while they may share many base packages in common, I do seem to remember them patching the kernel more than Debian, and usually stuff that would break my kernel dev too. Hence another reason I'm not on Ubuntu.
- freedomben 6y agoAgreed. On a related but different note it does seem like Debian gets (unfairly) painted with light generated by Ubuntu. I run Debian on some machines and most of the issues I have with Ubuntu are not problems on Debian (such as: Snap obsession and forcing, Abandoned/system-wrecking PPAs that are hard to recover from, etc)
