Yeah, I think it's the right call as well for any distro that wants adoption. I'd love to use Debian, but even the "non-free" installer doesn't include drivers for my intel wifi card, and I don't think it's worth my time to try and do it all by hand. I still donate money to Debian though, because I know it's indirectly supporting Ubuntu.
- ocdtrekkie 6y agoYeah, I work on a tool for Sandstorm.io called vagrant-spk, which uses Debian inside VMs, and that is pretty pleasant. But every time I've flirted with using a Debian distro for my dev machine under it, I've never gotten to the "installed working machine" stage. For what it's worth, my dev machines are usually random older consumer desktop PCs, solely intended to run Windows, but Ubuntu works fine out of the box on all of them.
