Re: Why does everyone use Ubuntu?
I love Ubuntu. It makes an excellent LiveCD. I keep one around for different reasons and I pop it in on occasion and just play with it. My problems with Ubuntu start when I install it. My two main problems are that updates seem to always break something and the software in their repository is old.
Configuring Ubuntu was much easy than configuring openSUSE at first. I think that if I had started with SUSE first it would have been easier. Yast makes things so simple once you get use to it. I wonder now how I ever did without it.
Adding/removing software is about equal on both. I really can't see how anyone would think Ubuntu was easier.
Ubuntu has more accessible information, I think. I can usually find an answer to any problem either on their forums or their helps. Maybe it's just me but I have a more difficult time finding answers to openSUSE problems. Depends on the problem, for sure. The more difficult problems seem easier to find for Ubuntu.
I think overall Ubuntu deserves it high rankings. It is easy to use and configure for new comers to Linux. Like everything else, it's not for everyone. Thank goodness we have choices.
