Looking for some suggestions, preferably with existing tested compatibility with the Framework laptop hardware so I can do more well rounded research. I’m the most familiar with Ubuntu and CentOS. Picked Ubuntu initially for mid 2000s nostalgia purposes but it’s time to move on.
EDIT: As some people have pointed out, “more privacy oriented” was probably not the best phrase to use here. I am looking to move off of a Linux OS with corporate sponsorship and also looking forward to exploring Linux OSes that are privacy focused.
I’ll do it! Debian’s repos are dramatically different from Ubuntu’s. While they share lineage and have a lot of similarities, you could say that about any debian based distro. It’s much more accurate to say Mint is ubuntu - bs, as they’re actually very close to each other. Personally I don’t like the philosophies of Debian or ubuntu in terms of how they structure their repos/package versions, but they do differ. And these days, that’s the majority of what differentiates a distro. The package manager, the repos, and the defaults.
I made a few debmirror distro mirrors from Ubuntu and Debian recently but failed to see a dramatic difference. Can you explain what you mean? Thanks.
