wut I thought you said you were getting ubuntu not debian? deb is pretty nice, it lacks the telemetry of ubuntu and all the corporate shit it has
I've been going in and out of linux since the whole netbook craze back in 2009-2011 and when ubuntu netbook was still a thing.
I've wanted to switch back to linux since a couple of months ago, I installed Linux Mint on my old laptop before I got my desktop and it was one of the best computer experiences I have ever experienced. I even wrote a gui program for fan control, and that was great.
Now I want to get back into Linux, and I don't know what to install. I tried kubuntu but
this bug ended it for me, and now I don't know where to go from here. Debian is too empty for me and requires a lot of setup work (You may bring up the whole "Arch has no packages pre-installed" but I like having a starting point and adding removing what I like), and I wanted to try something closer to ubuntu than Linux mint, since mint is basically 100% guaranteed to drift away from the whole "Oh yes we will support Ubuntu".
Now fedora and Arch linux do not have the debian as the base distro on which they are built on, and Debian has the most support (If you judge it from the percentage of forum threads that make it to Google's first page). I am sorry, but I have better things to do than to look at 50 2009 threads that their last reply is "k guyz i fixed it pls lock the thread" (For christ's sake, type out what you did to fix the issue). I did it a couple of times and I realized that it's not fun after 15 minutes of just scratching my head.
As for corporate shit, I have no interest. Canonical isn't pure evil, and in the end the code is open source, so there is nothing to hide.

WIne is really good, I use it for running video editing programs, running some old games, running other things. It's good and when did I ever say the last part? Talk about putting words in my mouth ugh
I actually got fallout new vegas running on it once and it was great
