Can you provide a simple one line explanation?

Reliable, most things are built on top of it (Ubuntu etc), lightweight

yeah Ubuntu or Debian

same here But just a warning if you try install pterodactyl make sure you follow the Debian instructions in the community guides section For Debian

Good community support, lots of forums, and it’s a good starting point to run just about everything

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS debian is very minimal and ubuntu is basically improved debian also based off debian so anything that runs on debian should also work with ubuntu (at worst with a few changes)
π’Ÿπ‘œπ“‚π’Ύπ“ƒπ’Ύπ’Έ
I’ve seen more tutorials on how-tos for ubuntu than Debian
Eternal
Eternalβ€’8mo ago
24.04 LTS might also be fine but it's very new so it's not that much supported by software yet
π’Ÿπ‘œπ“‚π’Ύπ“ƒπ’Ύπ’Έ
So it might actually be easier

I’d use 22.04
Eternal
Eternalβ€’8mo ago
yeah I'd also suggest 22 for now
Skullians
Skulliansβ€’8mo ago
I’ve seen 24.04 break stuff like dotnet

yap Get Debian 12
π’Ÿπ‘œπ“‚π’Ύπ“ƒπ’Ύπ’Έ
You should try out the server installation too, I personally find the desktop version a little annoying compared to server, having a gui slows things down for me
Eternal
Eternalβ€’8mo ago
it is though
Jenkins
Jenkinsβ€’8mo ago
what? ??
Eternal
Eternalβ€’8mo ago
^^ also ptero doesn't support 24.04 afaik
Jenkins
Jenkinsβ€’8mo ago
it... does.
Eternal
Eternalβ€’8mo ago
huh it does?
π’Ÿπ‘œπ“‚π’Ύπ“ƒπ’Ύπ’Έ

Cent, rhel, ubuntu, pick Ubuntu

Why are you all promoting Ubuntu so much lmao It has practically zero differences to Debian
Eternal
Eternalβ€’8mo ago
it works, it's based off debian and it's well supported
Jenkins
Jenkinsβ€’8mo ago
Only difference is that it has bloat and is made by C*nonical (ew) Debian 12 is better
Eternal
Eternalβ€’8mo ago
it's practically debian with all your QoL and packages you'd install on debian either way

debian12 vs Ubuntu 22.04 LTS What should I choose.. I'm new to this so it's difficult
Eternal
Eternalβ€’8mo ago
debian is very bare bones ubuntu is debian + more stuff
Jenkins
Jenkinsβ€’8mo ago
Debian 12.
π’Ÿπ‘œπ“‚π’Ύπ“ƒπ’Ύπ’Έ
Ubuntu 22.04 lts SERVER EDITION!

certified jenkinsℒ️ moment
Jenkins
Jenkinsβ€’8mo ago
this one is not a bad take just get Debian 12, it has literally no difference except for being lighter
Jenkins
Jenkinsβ€’8mo ago
You need something that Ubuntu has built-in? You can install it with one command
π’Ÿπ‘œπ“‚π’Ύπ“ƒπ’Ύπ’Έ
I need the ubuntu neofetch :minecraftTroll:
Eternal
Eternalβ€’8mo ago
ubuntu is basically debian with QoL :shrug:
Jenkins
Jenkinsβ€’8mo ago
Just get RHEL
Jenkins
Jenkinsβ€’8mo ago
Jenkins
Jenkinsβ€’8mo ago
rhel is actually good though
Eternal
Eternalβ€’8mo ago
it's like stripping windows off from everything including the antivirus because it's "bloat"
π’Ÿπ‘œπ“‚π’Ύπ“ƒπ’Ύπ’Έ
Not bad but I prefer ubuntu
Eternal
Eternalβ€’8mo ago
sure you don't want the bloatware but is it that necessary to strip everything just for a bit more performance yeah don't listen to jenkins πŸ’€
Jenkins
Jenkinsβ€’8mo ago
it isn't stripping everything I can run Debian 12 with like, 60mb ram idle Ubuntu Server doesn't go below 150 even if you push, idles at about ~250 There is zero reason to use Ubuntu over Debian
Eternal
Eternalβ€’8mo ago
ah dammit 190mb extra ram usage on my 64gb ram server!! what will I ever do?!
Jenkins
Jenkinsβ€’8mo ago
It isn't worth it There are zero differences
Eternal
Eternalβ€’8mo ago
people in the thread disagree :shrug:
Jenkins
Jenkinsβ€’8mo ago
I'm not sure why you're pushing Ubuntu so hard
Eternal
Eternalβ€’8mo ago
so why fight debian if you want a completely bare bones system.. ubuntu if you want useful stuff preinstalled
Jenkins
Jenkinsβ€’8mo ago
Because one is made by a worse company and has unnecessary resource usage

I'm not sure why you're pushing Debian so hard Oh nooo it comes with useful packages pre-installed
Jenkins

1- I hate Canonical 2- Canonical is a greedy and bad company 3- Ubuntu isn't worth it
Torrent
Torrentβ€’8mo ago
So just say you hate canonical instead of implying ubuntu is bad
Jenkins
Jenkinsβ€’8mo ago
You read all of them. You know what I meant too
Torrent
Torrentβ€’8mo ago
What did canonical do to you
Jenkins
Jenkinsβ€’8mo ago
Nothing to me, they're just a greedy megacorp overall Also Ubuntu just is not worth it Debian is good
Torrent
Torrentβ€’8mo ago
so i assume you never use amazon or apple or google
Jenkins
Jenkinsβ€’8mo ago
Yes, I never used either
Torrent
Torrentβ€’8mo ago
well good for you you're so morally just and revolutionary OP should still use ubuntu easier to use and assuming he's going to install pterodactyl/try to run a server he's going to end up needing to manually install all the packages that ubuntu comes with preinstalled
π’Ÿπ‘œπ“‚π’Ύπ“ƒπ’Ύπ’Έ
Literally You are farming your own wheat when there’s pre made flour readily available Just cause that flour is grinded by some big corpo means you can’t consume it?
Jenkins
Jenkinsβ€’8mo ago
Oh no, how disappointing! He needed to go sudo apt install wget Such a waste of time And do I even need to mention the instructions for Ubuntu also work 100% fine on Debian?
π’Ÿπ‘œπ“‚π’Ύπ“ƒπ’Ύπ’Έ
At this point, mint Linux
Jenkins
Jenkinsβ€’8mo ago
that is.. not a server distro
Torrent
Torrentβ€’8mo ago
Also you mentioned β€œUbuntu isn’t worth it” Implying there’s any sort of cost or downside to use it Other than some corpo greed take that nobody here cares about but you
Jenkins
Jenkinsβ€’8mo ago
It has no upsides If you need something Ubuntu has preinstalled it takes 5 seconds to install Debian is lighter and also more stable
