Thanks for this. I started Linux with Ubuntu, just because being the most popular distro, I figured it would most likely to be compatible with everything. I was just about to make a post asking why the Linux community dunks on Ubuntu, but this graphic explains a lot
Company gonna company. Switch back to Debian and realize most of what Ubuntu did was copy Debian and allow for non free drivers.
I don't understand why go though all the trouble of leaving windows, which let's be honest is not as friction free as Lemmy likes to claim, and then land on Ubuntu.
I have to thank them for the free DVDs tho, they opened the world of Linux for me as a kid.
Ubuntu is a distro for corporation, not individual users. It's fine if your company gives you Ubuntu laptop managed by desktop support but you should not install it yourself on your private computers.
A big part of the article is pointing out how Ubuntu forcing snaps makes corporate management significantly harder; how ads in the terminal are unacceptable and can confuse junior admins and logging software. Ubuntu is not a distro for anybody. Linux Mint, Debian, or Fedora are all better options.
My previous company did some research on what distro should the offer employees and they picked Ubuntu. No idea what they were taking into account but for some reason Ubuntu looks attractive to corporations.
Canonical's the new Red Hat,
I've had that same silent Snap install issue, except for Docker CE. Anytime my dev containers die I know where to look.
