Why fix what isn't broken?

It's easy to complain about some elements of Ubuntu, but really, the biggest problems with it stem from its default desktop, GNOME, and the base for Ubuntu is extremely solid. There's a reason it's the most popular Linux distro around, and with that comes a lot of infrastructure to support it, too. Because it's an official Ubuntu flavor, it gets big new releases right alongside Ubuntu itself, which means the latest version is already based on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, which includes Linux kernel version 7.0 with the latest drivers and everything you need for a modern device. It also has a long support

Which Pi-hole Install Method Should You Use?

The decision really comes down to two things: what hardware you already have running, and whether you want to run Pi-hole as a dedicated service or alongside other containers. Use the native install (Raspberry Pi, Ubuntu, or Proxmox LXC) if: You want a dedicated Pi-hole instance with minimal other services running on it You’re running Pi-hole on a Raspberry Pi or any Debian-based Linux distribution You’re running it in a Proxmox LXC and don’t need Docker on top You want the simplest, most-supported setup with the least amount of moving parts Use the Docker install if: You already use Docker

Being the default for so many people, Canonical has felt the need to load Ubuntu with a lot of things to make things easier, but in doing so, Ubuntu has, in many ways, become almost as bloated as Windows. We've talked about that before, and there are options to have a lighter Ubuntu experience, but just look at what's happening with the upcoming release
