    runs on a combination of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Debian 12 libraries.

    No wonder it works fine in Ubuntu. Why won’t these “switch to Linux” challenges ever just fucking use Ubuntu?! It’s literally the distro that the big companies target!

      It doesn’t work better or worse on Ubuntu. The fact it (partially) uses Ubuntu libraries matters very little given that the libraries are 14 years old… But I think the client now mostly relies on Debian 12 libraries to run since a year or two ago.

      In this case, the DE is the main cause of issue, not the distro base.

      They did use Mint in a previous video, and in the comment field on Youtube there’s rumors he’ll be trying Kubuntu since Pop was so buggy.
