I really wish we had a service like this on Europe.

I know they ship to Europe. But shipping costs are prohibitive for small buys.

Everytime I want a distro that just works I just roll with Linux Mint.

Being one of the most popular distro if something goes wrong is really easy to find how to fix it .

I’ve usually run linux until I got sick of having problems with it and then install windows… until I got sick of having problems with it and then switch to linux again.

There is no OS without issues. In my experience, that may not be the same as others, linux problems tend to be more frequent, smaller and easier to fix. While windows problems tend to be less frequent but more problematic and harder to fix (I’m looking at you windows update which destroyed all my OS).

But if you are going to use linux you are going to need to tweak some things. The tinkering to make it all work is easy as the community forums have all the answers (btw windows support forums are the WORST, 99% of proposed solutions are useless).

For the sake of lemmy civility and prosperity I just didn’t want to start an argument.

Let’s just say I did read the whole article before posting and shouldn’t be assumed otherwise unless there was something incorrect being said, which was imposible due the nature of the comment itself.

Debian.

Stable, well documented, easy to install. I do not need anything else right now.

I use Spanish QWERTY layout and it’s… weird for coding.

I’m used to it from my whole life so that’s what I use but sometimes brackets or special symbols are weird.

I’ve always wanted to change to use US-International layout. So I can keep ñ and áéíóú, and also have easy access to coding symbols. But I have never got around it.

Anyhow I still think that whoever designed ISO layouts messed up. We should use US international layout. That’s my two cents.

I know some schools in my country use their own linux distribution on pair with windows. And my organization has also their own linux distribution but it is barely used really. I dont know anyone who uses it, but I do know it exists.

Sometimes they are more convenient, than cd ls mv cp everything, when you don’t have access to a file explorer.

Specially if you are working with a server via ssh, or some machine without any Desktop Environment installed.

I basically use it to ssh to my server.

So… About 2010? When Android phones became widespread.

Meta is a dying company. Let’s help they follow their natural course to oblivion

Yes, but actually no.

How is Debian for servers?

I’m currently running Ubuntu server. And it’s really convenient. I even appreciate snaps as they keep things clean for the server.

Certainly I wanted something Debian based, I know some people using Fedora por servers but I really like Debian/Ubuntu LTR and not having to worry about updates so often.

Does Debian offer a lightweight server image without DE as Ubuntu?
