Why is there so much hate on Ubuntu from the wider Linux community and is any of it justified? (lemmy.ml)

I literally switched from Ubuntu to Arch because the Ubuntu LTS distro at the time (20.04) shipped a kernel too old to boot the new laptop I just bought. This is typical for Ubuntu. You get old software. Which is ok if you want to use it as a cloud VM distro, but not ok if you are a home user.

The problem here is not Ubuntu in itself. If you use a kernel version that does not have the drivers for your new on the market device no distro would work properly, even Arch.

And Ubuntu ships ancient kernels. Arch ships the latest. That is exactly why I left Ubuntu for EndavourOS at the time.

Likewise the version on wine on Ubuntu LTS was ancient at the time. Bugs that were fixed ages ago were still predent in Ubuntu.
