Business distributions vs. Community distributions
Hello. What type of distribution do you prefer in Linux, an enterprise-based distribution (Ubuntu) or a community-based distribution (Debian)? Do you think that enterprise-based distributions benefit from higher quality development and offer a higher level of security?

Personally no. What they offer is what Microsoft offer, someone to call when it goes wrong and can maybe help.
Community based. I want to cut out all corpo shit from my life.
@Maragato A business worth investing in would go for a wholesale distribution, like Debian or Slackware, rather than a retail one like Ubuntu or Red Hat. I don't recognize the term 'business distribution.'
Lolwut?
You think that's why Canonical and RedHat make money, huh? 🤣🤣🤣
Distributions of corporate origin such as Ubuntu, Leap, Fedora, etc., i.e. distributions that exist because there is a company supporting the development community. More specifically, is it more advisable to use a distribution supported by a company that contributes a large part of the system's development?
@Maragato Ah I see, I was thinking of consumer businesses rather than producer businesses. In that case I would definitely opt for community-produced distros, every time.
Slackware.
