    Except the specific distro you use impacts your choices and the future direction and success of Linux as a whole.

    If you pick the single enshittified distro then you serve to perpetuate it’s influence.

          it doesn’t though.

          it does

          people continue to use Windows because it’s already installed.

          That’s not the only reason, and it’s not the biggest reason. People pay $200 to get windows on a new computer because they’re never been exposed to anything else.

          people continue to use Ubuntu because they have brain damage

          This comment says a lot about your opinion, especially why no one cares about it.

          Why not use a free distro

          people continue to use ___________ because it’s already installed.

          Let them use whatever in the hell they want. It gets them exposure that there’s life without Windows/Mac. You can hate ubuntu without gatekeeping people.

          See, this is the type of uselessly disparaging dialogue that people take issue with. Why on earth did you think that this is an OK thing to say?

        I agree but the extent of my “silly infighting” is “don’t use Ubuntu”. If they stay on Windows instead of Ubuntu, everyone is probably better off.

          I don’t see who would be better off in that scenario, except microsoft, and I feel they’re worse for their users and the world than ubuntu
