ChatGPT, write me an article about Linux that gets traffic.

There wasn’t a single second between now and 1970 where even the most delusional people could’ve seen Ubuntu as “lightweight”.

You are all falling for the rage bait

Unless they’re comparing to LMDE, they’re mostly similar about being lightweight.

why would it stop when it never was to begin with? lol

stopped It never was. Ubuntu used to be the obvious choice for reviving old systems that couldn’t run Windows It didn’t. Whether xfce and cinnamon require less resources compared to other DEs is questionable, but the question itself is dumb. Environmemt by itself has little value without programs that run inside of it, and most of those aren’t cinnamon or xfce specific or adapted to them.

Wow. I’m impressed… Loads of comments and no one had to chime in and say “Arch is the best” 😂

I’ve never understood the point of these articles. What does anyone gain by attacking other linux distro’s? It’s not like people don’t give Linux Mint a chance… I’m not a fan of Snap, but, there are many who are… Ubuntu also offers SLA’s to companies (15 years support) and Linux Mint doesn’t offer paid support, and there are likely many other reasons to use Ubuntu over LinuxMint. Use what best suits your requirements.

Neither are lightweight. If you want lightweight then get debian

The current version of Ubuntu recommends 6GB of memory and a dual-core processor 4 GB. Ubuntu doesn’t have other lightweight options, but Linux Mint offers XFCE and MATE editions. Wrong. XFCE and LxQt versions are offered - Lubuntu and Xubuntu. Snap is a packaging system that includes every possible file or runtime that the app needs to work. Yes, so it actually works at proper containerisation. That is actually the whole point of containerisation. Flatpaks frequently fail to work because of library incompatibilities. help.ubuntu.com/community/…/SystemRequirements

Mint has always been the better Ubuntu. Prove me wrong.
