> has months long recruitment processes (where they even ask for HS grades) to select "the best"> instead of contributing to established teams for projects tha t implement new tech (that no one asked for, like flatpak/snap and Wayland/Mir), they start their own copies (because of not-invented-here syndrome)> takes over Debian and makes it almost a copy of Ubuntu, basically destroying its core values in the process> manages its own packages, yet is unable to keep track and remove KNOWN BUGS THAT HAVE FIXES in the versions they distribute, even when Ubuntu users report and suggest relevant patchesHow can a Linux company be so successful, yet so shit?
>>107255560fuck off
>>107255503Mir was a much better concept than Wayland
>>107255503Dropped them after the dumb decision to replace tried and tested GNU coreutils with rustslop. The writing was on the wall there.
>>107255560>Fix the bugs? Lol, that's what forums are for, right?Most of the time they could simply track bugs and copy patches from other distros. I guess that's something too difficult to do...>What's your beef with them—snapped Firefox eating your soulSnaps (and containers in general) being a piece of shit that are impossible to monitor because... They didn't think users would want to check why some snap is using 100% CPU is just ONE example of the retardation that Canonical keeps pushing for.>the general aura of corporate cringe?They would never hire me because I'm not elite enough: I don't even have a degree kekBut the elite people they hire seem to be a bunch of useless faggots...
>>107255713Fell for it again award...
>>107255713of all the problems people have with canonical, the one I least comprehend is snapsthe tech is orthogonal to flatpak and has many features completely impossible to even do in flatpak. snaps aren't containers, they don't run in a separate namespace, and they are totally easy to monitor as part of standard systemd/journactl/top commands.
>>107255820Of all the stupid shit that Canonical has done, one of them was to force users to use snaps. How difficult would it be for them to offer 2 versions of the same packages, giving the users the freedom to choose one or the other? But instead, they decide to impose this retardation in the name of "security".It's not only about monitoring. Have you used snap'd packages? Some features don't even work because of the restrictions.Like, just let me use my shit however I want. If I don't want your pretend secure software, that's on me. Having to install shit from other sources is far more unsafe... Yet they give the opportunity to random users to distribute shit through PPAs LMAO. Fucking retards.>topHave you even used top to monitor some weird CPU spikes from snap'd software? It doesn't show everything. Same for htop.
>>107255503Both Canonical and Red Hat are the reason good Linux systems exist. Debian is good because people with jobs rely on it directly to make their corporate product.Nobody who "does it for free" ever really makes stuff that's all that great.
>>107255560thanks @grok
>>107255503I got interviews with them with nothing but hobby shit on my resume and I dropped out of college for a liberal arts majorI think you're just applying for something above your resume
>>107255503>where they even ask for HS gradeswhy wouldn't they?
>>107255503It's simple. Early in the development of the company, they would ship their main product, Ubuntu Linux, out for free to anyone who asked on a CD with professional packaging and a thriving support forum. When the barrier to entry to Linux in general is so low and provided to you in such an appealing and professional manner, you associate the company with professionalism and quality. This is similar to how Apple operates. They provide massive amounts of free computers to schools so that children grow up using a Mac and they associate it with productivity, and they become used to it. And as you get older, you are averse to changing your habits. So, what ends up happening is massive amounts of people who grew up in these districts who were provided with free Apple computers become lifelong Apple ecosystem customers.
>linux>shitpick 2
>>107255503>so successful >yet so shitthat's the recipe for success, anon
>>107256128>you can solve this issue by doing this convoluted config shit that could damage your system if you do it wrongTotally normal behavior LMAO>>107257306I would never apply to Canonical. They seem to think they are elite or some shit, yet their mediocrity is obvious>>107258211Tell me how I know you have not worked a single day in your life>>107258328Maybe
>>107257306did you join canonical in the end? whats it like to work there?
>>107259515>convoluted config shita ppa?or do you mean running the reproducible debian build script?you complain like a woman. take some personal responsibility, faggot
>>107259781>a ppa?Have you tried reading your own post?...>take some personal responsibility,Having to bypass system shit is being irresponsible? Suggesting that Canonical are fucking retards for doing useless shit that only harms Ubuntu users is bad?I get it now. You actually work for Canonical, and felt offended by my post LMAO
>>107259940>is being responsible?Fixed
>>107259940pinning a repo is setting a single config option to override package priority, debian repos are not "convoluted config shit">How difficult would it be for them to offer 2 versions of the same packages, giving the users the freedom to choose one or the other?they do offer 2 versions of the same packages for many things, as you can see in the software catalog>just let me use my shit however I want.you can, but canonical is not obligated to spoon feed you for every little thing you whine about.>bypass system shitwhining like a woman when papa shuttleworth doesn't do things exactly the way the people on TV told you it should be is on you
>>107259940>You actually work for Canonicalno, I just don't understand people who whine about technically superior solutions just because redhat didn't make it.at this point, the "community" has been wrong about each thing: unity vs gnome, mir vs Wayland, apparmor vs selinux, upstart vs systemd. excuse me if I consider you an idiot for complaining about snaps when flatpak is trash and technically inferior in every way
>>107260038>pinning a repo is setting a single config option to override package priority, debian repos are not "convoluted config shit">>How difficult would it be for them to offer 2 versions of the same packages, giving the users the freedom to choose one or the other?>they do offer 2 versions of the same packages for many things, as you can see in the software catalog>>just let me use my shit however I want.>you can, but canonical is not obligated to spoon feed you for every little thing you whine about.>>bypass system shit>whining like a woman when papa shuttleworth doesn't do things exactly the way the peopleOK, so you are a fanboy and will keep denying reality. That's really sad, anon.Is every Canonical employee brainwashed like this?>>107260074>I just don't understand people who whine about technically superior solutions just because redhat didn't make it.I literally said no one needed any of this shit in the OP, you mentally ill retard.But keep coping, I'm sure that victim mentality will help you a lot in life.
>>107260074>ubuntu users realistically have a choice between the two
>>107255560are obvious llm posts the new bait? seeing these in a few threads with a bunch of replies
>>107260074if flatpak is bad then why do so many distros use it over snaps
>>107255503and yet Ubuntu is better than 99% of distros
>>107260225Yeah, and it works because it got you to reply.
>>107260288That's because of Debian>>107260434>I got a (You), therefore I win!Sad
>>107260249because snaps require apparmor and not every distro wants to set that up
>>107255560>Ubuntu's the gateway drug for 90% of Linux newbies, and without it, we'd all be stuck proselytizing Void to bewildered Windows refugeesThat's quickly changing thanks to Bazzite and CachyOS. I think the last time I fucked with Ubuntu was in 2021 and I shortly got rid of it after I felt it was meh.
