Hello everyone! I would like to know why there seems to be some dislike toward Ubuntu within the Linux community. I would like you to share your reasons for why you like Ubuntu or, on the contrary, why you don’t. Thanks 🙇

    Snaps, they are against one of the main tenants of FOSS. Obscure content validation and reduction in free access.

      I just hate snaps because they’re dogshit and don’t fucking work.

      I made the unfortunate mistake of doing sudo apt install docker dotnet -y on a dev machine, thinking that I was going to get correctly packaged deb installations of those two tools.

      After about two hours of having neither fucking tool work, I found that Canonical highjacked the deb installation with their shitty snap packages, which didn’t fucking work thanks to the shit sandboxing that snap tries to do.

      Don’t fucking waste your time with Ubuntu. It’s an actual liability.

      And also, their singular promise (security and trust) keeps getting undermined by third parties using it to ship malware.
      So we’re asked to give up control but we’re not any safer for it.
