I think you're right. But, I'm trying to make my memes inclusive: I don't bash ubuntu users for the same reasons I don't beat people already on the ground and refrain from mocking the handicapped.
Well you bash us arch users but i get it we can take it! Lmao. Or maybe ubuntu users just can't take a joke
You shure as hell can take it in the ass that's for sure
Yeah arch does get you laid
He shure doesh
I cam take a jork
But what makes ubuntu better as a first distro than mint or fedora? It installs snaps even when you specifically invoke apt, a new user who doesn't understand the messages will press yes, see that it seemed to work and have issues later that can scare them away from linux.
What I'm trying to say is that we should bash the people still recommending ubuntu.
Oh, I'm absolutely fine with bashing people recommending Ubuntu. Hand me the first stone!
Eh. Using Ubuntu is nothing like having a mental or physical handicap, or having fallen and gotten knocked down/pushed down.
My issue with Ubuntu is that there’s better distros- even for newbs coming from windows for the first time. The sole argument for Ubuntu is the first reason not to use it. People are installing it because they want something different than windows, after all, and canonical makes the same critical error (IMO) that MS makes: it assumes their users are stupid.
To be honest, I grew up in red hat; I remember trying Ubuntu when it first came out, being told how awesome it was. I found it to be infuriating and horrible. And it has always been so. To me, it’s popularity seems derived more from marketing than from merit.
