So, would it be fair to say that their packages suck and they're desperately fundraising money through ads in hopes of fixing it?

I'm very unfamiliar with Ubuntu, so I apologize for my ignorance. Is universe their AUR, COPR, OBS? I thought that PPAs were Ubuntu's user repository.
Question: Do you intend to play games with high-fidelity?
Like, the latest gen iGPUs from both AMD and Intel are capable for light gaming (as can be seen on the many pc-handhelds). But, is that sufficient for you? Or, do you need more raw power on your device?
Thank you for some much needed background information (and perhaps even some of Ubuntu's justification)!
There is literally not a single useful comment here.
That's a bit harsh 😜. Though, I agree the 'f*ck-Ubuntu'-circlejerk is very present.
It is an optional service, they warn you that you use outdated packages, and offer a solution.
I guess it's wishful thinking to argue that they should have included the security patches from the get-go.
Thank you for clarifying.
I'm not very familiar with how stuff works over at (open)SuSE. However, for Fedora, we know that they've gone against Red Hat's policy more than once. At the end of the day, it is ~~(at the very least in name)~~ a community distro.
But, I think we can at least agree on the fact that Canonical's influence on Debian is definitely less than Red Hat's influence on Fedora or SuSE's influence on openSUSE.
Btw, consider conveying this better next time 😅. I think most others, like me, misunderstood you 😜.
Have a nice day!
Thank you for answering!
Btw, OP, I foresee a switch to Linux Mint Xfce Edition. Please consider writing about your experiences in which you compare Xubuntu to Linux Mint Xfce Edition. Thanks in advance!
How does signing up work? What do they ask in terms of your data (email, name, address, more)? I tried finding out myself but their website misbehaved for some reason.
Until its drivers are completely open source, Nvidia will continue to cause trouble every once in a while.
Therefore, if you liked Sway, then don't leave it expecting to be a lot better elsewhere.
However, Hyprland's community is pretty big and I can only be positive regarding the pace of its development. Therefore, if anything, Hyprland might be able to offer a solution. But, don't forget what I said earlier*.
Technically, if you would have been on Fedora Atomic, you could have just rebased to the Kinoite branch. Perhaps even created a new user so your home folder doesn't get populated by unwanted stuff. And, afterwards, you could rebase back to whatever your original branch was.
Furthermore, downloading any distro that defaults to KDE and offers a live environment should be able to offer you a KDE experience within the live environment as well.
But Debian does get security updates backported, right? Like, is Ubuntu actively preventing you from getting these?
