- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

Why? You're an Ubuntu user -- you're suffering enough as it is
I haven't settled in yet. I'll probably switch.
Not to worry, there's something to mock no matter what distro you choose ๐ฅฐ
Slackware. Go!
No, my mom taught me we should respect the elderly.
if it works, don't feel the need to switch. whatever the nerds are insisting is best usually probably doesn't serve the more average person too well ๐ ubuntu is as good as it gets for 99% of users, downvote me!
Distro hopping is a right of passage โround these parts. ๐
Canonical gets shit canned by a lot of people, you can look up why but it's mainly unpopular snap (slow/forced upon ye) and Canonical being a shit. I mean I'd personally rank flatpak dead last under snap because of rancid permissions issues, but whatever.
If you end up liking the Debian soul however, you got a lot of options :) Personally I only really care about the repo being well stocked and up to date whatever the distro.
So far I ran into difficulty installing software because of missing dรฉpendances but it didn't state what they were.
My path was Fedora (dnf) to CachyOS (pacman) so I'll not be much help with Debian apt package manager shenanigans. Probably you can solve whatever that issue is with the Ubuntu "package name" (saying what it is specifically will help) followed by "missing dependencies" in a web search.
Might only need to run the system update 1st:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
Then try your problematic package again (or wait for a Debian wizard to chime in). Maybe your iso was outdated or something.
