If you have gained some Linux skills after using Ubuntu for some time, you may try switching to these distributions to explore the world of Linux distributions further.

Ubuntu is one of the best Linux distributions for beginners. It's an excellent platform for people new to Linux. It is easy to install, has tons of free resources available along with a massive list of applications available for it. https://itsfoss.com/distribution-after-ubuntu/

    Oh, sorry, did not mean to touch a sore spot. Carry on. But this article is still pure shill.

    You haven't touched a sore spot - I was just wondering why you were surprised that 'at least one' (I'll assume that you mean 'one') editor wouldn't have published this story.

    And how can it be a shill when TFS is arguing the case for moving away from Ubuntu to another distro? I think that the article is still flawed, but that is why it is up for discussion.

    Maybe, but in this case What's Your Favorite Distro? is a perennial favorite in the /. -- Soylent universe.

    I'm no distro-hopper, because sucking the marrow out of them is not my thing. But I do appreciate the cyclical return to the question because distros are moving targets. They evolve, improve, or worsen over time. Also, as my own tastes shift, I occasionally learn that other combos will suit me better. It happened early on when I switched from Red Hat to Ubuntu (for APT), and it happened more recently with desktops when the Gnome I had been using for years and years screwed the pooch with Gnome3, and I moved to XFCE and LXDE.

    These days I'm pretty happy with the software. Backbones occupy my mind more. Control of the software was wrested away from the corps and govs, control of the hardware is in the process of getting there, but what about the pipes?
