Why use Ubuntu instead of Debian?
location: ubuntuforums.com - date: August 16, 2010
ive been using ubuntu for like about a year now. i know that ubuntu is based on debian, like many other distros. so this just hit me, why would i use ubuntu when i can use debian itself?? i mean its like how im using ubuntu, instead of linux mint (which is based on ubuntu).
what are the differences between debian and ubuntu? why should users prefer ubuntu over debian?

Why does Ubuntu still use Gnome?

I guess my question is do you think that Ubuntu will ever make KDE the official window manager? (essentially getting rid of kubuntu, and making a gubuntu)
Now I know that window managers are really a personal choice and comes down to what you expect of a desktop and what your used to. I'll admit that i'm biased, for the 10 years that I have been playing with linux i'v almost always choose KDE, probably because this was the first window manager I used in Suse 8 I think. !0 years ago both these desktops looked good enough and didn't seem dated compared to windows. In fact I often thought that gnome looked better back then, but alas I was used to KDE. Before kde 4.x came out I was actually kind of annoyed at how little the basic desktop environments had changed. Ya some new features and functionality here and there, but overall not much different and frankly they looked like a Win98 desktop (alright slightly better).
I'm assuming that Ubuntu originally choose Gnome because it
Development Why use a distro like Ubuntu instead of an Rolling one?

I have used a lot of distributions, but like a lot of people I've started with Ubuntu and praticly learned almost everything with him... but there is something I still don't understand...
I use Arch Linux for a while, but I still have Ubuntu just to look at Canonical's work with the newer versions of Ubuntu..
I have quit Ubuntu for 3 reasons:
Very Bloat
Very unupdated
PPA... just ppa
I still see a lot of Ubuntu posts everywhere, people happy whit it, Windows and Mac users that made the switch and are very happy (what makes me very happy seing people using Ubuntu).
I am a developer (a young one but still a developper), and I've choosen Arch Linux over Ubuntu for the updated packages that are more easy to get without using any kind of ppa.
So my question is... For a developper (game or software) like me that don't want to sell them but just have them working on the maximum OS available out there, why choose a distribution like Ubuntu over a distribution like Fedore, Deb

Installing Ubuntu ( why so hard ? )
location: ubuntuforums.com - date: April 18, 2013
I run Win 7 , I dont want Ubuntu on the same drive (s) I use for windows ..
I just cant install Ubuntu where I want it , it either tries to install with windows , or use all my partitions ...
Years ago I could install linux where I wanted = Chose a drive and install it there ..
It has become so much harder these days , the installers are so ?/ Nasty to use ... I just cant pick a Drive/Partition to install it too ...
Any chance we can go back to point and click ? ( point to a location to install Ubuntu )
Linux installers half a decade or more ago were better ... Why are they worse now ?
I want a linux that installs without Drama , is there one ?

Force Ubuntu to use eth1 instead of eth0
location: ubuntuforums.com - date: August 12, 2009
I have a broadcom built-in card on my motherboard, and the b44 driver continually disconnects. as far as I know, this is a known problem. I have installed a second card, an intel card, in which ubuntu recognizes perfectly, and dhcp assigns an IP address to it with no problem, however, it seems that ubuntu still tries to use the eth0 card instead of the new eth1 as its default. How do I tell ubuntu to forget about eth0 and use eth1?
Thanks for any help.

Why use the terminal or SPM to install programs and packages?
location: ubuntuforums.com - date: August 23, 2013
Ive recently switched from windows to ubuntu, and i try to learn as well as i can.
The way of aquiring programs in ubuntu is puzzling me. In windows it was simple - you just downloaded some installation file and installed the program. In ubuntu ive been learned to use the terminal or a program "Synaptic Package Manager" (SPM) to download and install new programs.
The ubuntu way seems to limit the possibilities, since i guess you seach through an isolated database instead of the whole internet. Am i wrong on this point?
Is it also possible to download programs from anywhere on the internet? Are there some disadvantages to do so?
please wait...
