This is precisely why I dislike and don't recommend Ubuntu, to this day.

They lost so much trust when they did that, truly an insane, shortsighted decision.

Not just Ubuntu, but Canonical as well.

Nah Canonical was always kinda crackpot when compared to Red Hat.

Same, I just use standard Debian now, works great for me.

I was using Debian on desktop for a while. I've been using Debian on servers for over 20 years so I figured it's a good choice. I liked it, but ended up switching to Fedora. The only Linux distro I can use at work is Fedora (we use a modified version of Fedora) and I liked it enough to start using it at home too.

I appreciate the newer packages, especially for things like KDE Plasma and the Nvidia drivers. For example, Fedora had KDE Plasma 6.1 before Debian had even started packaging 6.0 for experimental.

Debian is a machine designed for going back in time 150 years.

That's also the stop I disembarked that train for desktops. I don't know why I continued using them for some servers but their behavior with Snaps has me leaving for good.

Yeah Canonical is the Google of GNU/Linux

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Google is the Google of Linux. They actually make their own distro

ChromeOS is Linux, but not GNU.

Exactly why I avoided ubuntu (and ubuntu bases) for soo long I used it in a vm yes but i bearly did anything the ubuntu bases was not that bad but every distro was based on ubuntu except for arch,fedora etc and that's why I chose fedora instead of popos now I just use arch base bcs I kinda don't like how fedora only includes open source software
