| Message-ID | <10if6e3$kag3$1@dont-email.me> |
I look at an article like this <https://www.zdnet.com/article/lubuntu-versus-xubuntu/>, comparing two different GUIs on Ubuntu, and I immediately think “¿Por qué no los dos?”. Who says it has to be either/or? The only difference between the two Ubuntu “flavours” is the choice of packages on initial installation. They’re both the same distro underneath, and there’s nothing stopping you from installing both GUIs (not to mention all the others that come with Ubuntu), because they all come in the same standard repo, and switching between them is as easy as logging out and logging in again.

Obligatory "your distro sucks" but if you are choosing between two Ubuntus, choose neither.

It's all part of Marxist dialectic technique : The ostensible purpose of the argument is to select between two or more options, but the real purpose is to change the agenda to that subject.. My randomised .sig has selected the correct aphorism in this case. Its not about what you personally think, its about placing the subject in your consciousness and making you make choices about it that you haven't the courage to say 'I actually don't give a fuck' to. Likewise restricting the argument to Ubuntu suggests that no other distro is *even worth considering*. And that the choice of which flavour is in fact, important. I could probably get along famously with any modern distro. I simply keep using Mint 'because it was the one I arrived at first, that was good enough that I looked no further' And has continued to be. -- "What do you think about Gay Marriage?" "I don't." "Don't what?" "Think about Gay Marriage."

I had a couple of other isos that weren't responding well and the Ubuntu one worked. When I revamped a couple of older machines I put different distros on them just for variety. I'm not a fan of Ubuntu GNOME but I can live with it.

Can't always get LXDE for every distro however, so XFCE comes in second ... but I add lxterminal and pcmanfm if at all possible. KDE ? No. Never.

AFAIK aren't all these DE-flavored "spin" sub-distros connecting to the same repository? Is it not possible to just swap out the default DE for your environment of choice? I never did see the point of doing it that way, but even if you're stuck with this or that "flavor" for $REASONS it should be easy enough to switch off of the part you hate, unless I'm greatly mistaken.

Theoretically. At one point I installed a GNOME distro, didn't like it, and added KDE. It worked, mostly, but had some occasional problems when updating. More recently I installed Linux Mint MATE on one laptop and added Xfce. It seemed to work although I didn't use either DE heavily. I reinstalled LM Cinnamon when I switched to a SSD. I have added sway to two KDE boxes and i3 to the LM box. That seems to work although at one point the system got confused when I called MATE GUIs from i3. Like my earlier GNOME/KDE experience I think you have to limit mixing and matching for the best experience. I never tried it but from some forum posts adding a DE and trying to uninstall the original DE doesn't work well. With EndeavourOS if you choose the offline installation you get KDE but if you select online you select the DE during the installation. I think that makes more sense than having separate isos for each flavor like Mint, spins like Fedora, or K, X, L, etc Ubuntus that give the impression they're different projects.

I've long since taken to installing with no GUI components at all and then adding what I want after the fact, for essentially that reason.

Agree with the previous poster - you're in for nothing but trouble if you try to nuke the original provided DE - way too many loose ends. Unless using KDE, the code for a DE isn't THAT damned big - so just install the DE you want and pick it at login. Almost always yer last choice will be remembered. On a couple occasions I've installed an XFCE distro and then wanted to install LXDE and nuke XFCE. NOT good.

My personal setup is lightdm, openbox, the venerable xterm, and lxpanel. Don't use a file manager, as I'm happy with the commandline. Most graphical apps work just install and work fine. But then I'm not too bothered by the "integration" fad (;-), and I've never really understood why all the extra cruft is necessary.

I'll take a file manager, myself; command-line is superior for anything involving mass operations and pattern-matching, but a GUI (or TUI, if you prefer one of the curses-based FMs) is easier for picking arbitrary files out of a large set. (Have actually spent the last week-plus doing both, as I finally got around to a spring-clean on 10-12 years' worth of random downloads and found myself sorting out images from countless artists with filenames in several different formats, at least one of which preserved both case and special characters early on, forced lower case at some point, and then munged special characters later, and vgrepping to spot duplicates along the way. Quite a workout, some ~45k files in total...) Have been pretty settled on WindowMaker with SpaceFM and QTerminal for some years now; used to use PCManFM and RoxTerm prior to that. Have never understood the need for my media player to integrate with the kitchen sink over dbus, frankly...

I think your experiences described above kinda validate Fedora's approach to "spins". I.e. the main project takes responsibility for several flavors without the heavy rebranding. The difficulty that appears only when upgrading are issues in the packaging scripts. The BIG differences between distributions are - initd vs systemd - RPM vs apt And the next important difference seems to be GNOME vs KDE. The rest is things that should be runtime-settable options. And "cinnamon-mint" and the like should be packaged as an add-on package of theme scripts -- Lars Poulsen - an old geek in Santa Barbara, California

The Apt Package Tool uses .deb packages. Most Debian derived distros I'm familiar with use apt. There is a RPM Package manager that uses .rpm files (surprise), but there are frontends for it too. Fedora did use yum but now uses dnf. /usr/bin/ yum is a symlink to dnf. OpenSUSE has zypper and a couple of other .rpm based distros have their own package managers. Then there is Arch Linux and pacman. That's the odd one. Rather than dnf update or apt update is pacman -Syu, with a similar syntax for installs. There are ways, not recommended, to use .deb or .rpm packages in Arch. I'm not that brave. Then there is the yay frontend to the Arch User Repository (AUR) that's more like automating building a tarball. There's probably other schemes given the 100+ distros. You also missed the other big food fight, Wayland vs. x11.

Wayland is supposed to support all of X11 functions but the demanding users know that it falls short in some areas. bliss- Dell Precision 7730- PCLOS 2026- Linux 6.12.63-pclos1- KDE Plasma 6.5.4

No, Wayland was never going to carry over all the X11 legacy baggage. It was just going to concentrate on being a compositor, nothing more.

Even those classified as sysvinit can have significant differences, to the point that, while not capable of some things, they're definitely sufficient in a bunch of contexts. >> Well, sort of.
