Well, the worst Ubuntu release was 16.04, where snaps were introduced as a default system component. His rants are a bit too late. The only thing that turns 26.04 into shit is shipping PipeWire as a snap. Most of his other expressed thoughts aren’t problems at all. Some are just questionable design choices. In fact, some are very welcome, especially the new core utilities being released under the MIT license.
