I said I wanted Ubuntu, and I got Ubuntu 18.04

Why you might ask? Because the older LTS has features that have had more time for bugs to be fixed.

Yeah just don't go for .10. I did... Oops...

Pfft, you don't even remember what IRQ jumpers and modelines were!

Especially after RedHat basically decided to let CentOS die.

Though i have no idea what that CentOS Stream is all about tbh.

Just start from rootfs / core...

Man pages can be reenabled.

Avoid the ubuntu preselection packages (e.g. Ubuntu-Server) and make no-install-recommends / suggests default.

In my experience, Ubuntu can run great as a server os, if you go for the minimalist route.

Otherwise ... You get a ton of shit that wastes resources and does dumb things TM.

Eg. unattended upgrades, snapd / package kit / firmware upgrade daemon / ...

Not to mention the half desktop system in a sever distribution :/

I'm on TW, love it. Suse is my new favourite distro and I honestly struggle to use anything else especially Ubuntu with apt and whatnot

Aand that is why I am on Debian
