I'm starting a new one to avoid creating unnecessary work for the moderators.
I'm still a beginner in Linux but planning on eventually migrating all machines at work from Windows to Linux. It is important for me to learn as much as I can. I thought I was learning the correct way until these posts:

All of Linux stability depends on Linus.
Same difference.

Nor their fixes, of course.mediclaser wrote: ⤴Wed Aug 15, 2018 7:48 pm By going straight to Debian, you only deal with Debian bugs. But with Ubuntu, you deal with Debian bugs + Ubuntu bugs.

I never got a reply back after these:
mediclaser wrote: ⤴Thu Aug 16, 2018 10:47 am Are you saying the kernel is the only module prone to bugs, and if I get it directly from there Linux Mint would not be affected by bugs in Ubuntu (even though it's based on Ubuntu)? Please educate me.
The forum members who ridiculed my posts without educating me never replied back to my followup questions, so I'm here hoping to get the answer from other experienced members. Can you guys explain why my assumption about Debian vs Ubuntu base was wrong?mediclaser wrote: ⤴Thu Aug 16, 2018 10:52 amPlease refer to my question above. If my argument sounded like what you describe, it's probably because of my limited knowledge as a Linux beginner.
