Ubuntu has been around since 2004, and it’s now one of the most popular Linux distributions in the world. Now, a relatively unknown Ubuntu derivative is attempting to follow in Ubuntu’s footsteps, and the entire Linux community is starting to pay attention, which is why we think it’s the right time to compare the two distributions to see if the student can defeat the master. However, the distribution proved its critics wrong, and it now has a seat in the Linux hall of fame. When Ubuntu was first released, it was dismissed by many as yet another Debian clone. While most derivatives of major Linux distributions are utterly irrelevant, some manage to rise to prominence and sometimes even join the ranks of such prominent distributions like Debian, Fedora, Arch Linux, or Slackware. But if you zoom in, you’ll be able to notice that for each major Linux distribution, there are hundreds of smaller derivates. The Linux landscape is dominated by a small handful of venerable distributions, most of which have been around for what seems like ages, each with its own dedicated following of users willing to draw blood in its defense.
