Other day I was listening to piso 21 – a Colombian music group – on my Ubuntu, and their Ubuntu album came to queue. Seeing this album cover inspired me to make this meme. hope you all like it.

there are a lot of orange, blue and, purple distros which I couldn’t include. so, sorry for that.

distro names:

  1. red: edubuntu, armbian
  2. yellow: ubuntu kylin, linux lite, ubports, voyager
  3. bodhi linux, linux mint, ubuntu mate
  4. pop os, (I forgot this bird one), KDE neon, zorin os

image transcription:
cover image of piso 21’s ubuntu album, which has four singers in four quadrants. each quadrant has a coloured brush streak. from top clockwise: red, yellow, blue, green. superimposed on them are logos of various ubuntu-based distros/flavours, according to their colours.

    I’ve always enjoyed regular Ubuntu but Linux Mint is a favorite. I’d install that before anything else. I’ve used both on my school laptops with great success. I’d use Linux as the default if it wasn’t for gaming, which is why school laptops (laptops owned by me, used for school) are the perfect use case.

      do you use windows for your gaming machine?
      i had to install it on a family laptop because of some apps that worked on windows only. I wanted to install a locked-down version of it and came across reviOS. it’s a stripped down version of windows with cruft removed. it was very very fast(almost comparable to my Debian machine). perhaps it’d be of interest to you if you’re into privacy. An alternative to that is winutil, which is basically a script to debloat windows.

        I’ll have to look into those and experiment on VMs. Thanks for the info! I used to use Windows 10 LTSC and it worked great, but I wanted the Microsoft Store to experiment with ray tracing in Bedrock Edition of Minecraft as SEUS’s PTGI wasn’t free at the time. I use Windows 11, I’m familiar with debloating the OS since Windows 10 came out. Usually I use Spybot Anti-Beacon 1.6 and WinAero Tweaker. I then remove all the useless apps I can with a script :)

    On the desk/laptop, Ubuntu, I am just more user to that, though I supose I could try Fedora.

    On a server, Debian all the way.

      Ubuntu Server for me, much less finicky than Debian, more stable than Fedora.

      I need my servers to just come up and go, and Ubuntu does that.

      On a desktop, Fedora for me, because it’s semi-rolling.

    Pop! all the way for me. I think Mint was second, but something about Pop just felt so much more natural and smooth. And it had remote desktop option out of the box, whereas all the others I would have had to install something.

      Man I’m the exact opposite. Cinnamon feels like I’m wearing a pair of soft cotton gloves, Pop!_OS’ flavor of Gnome feels like I’m wearing a pair of George Foreman grills.
