Why do people hate on Ubuntu again?
>>
slop distro
>>
It's popular which doesn't appeal to contrarian sensibilities.
>>
wayland and kde suck dick on it (and debian)

tablet ui, low iq leftshit soi devs, own by globohomo
>>
>>110046592
The only people who use it buntu are people testing their software to see if it works on ubuntu
>>
It's a decent gateway distro if you are looking to move to Linux. Just dont stay on it for too long if you actually care about freedom because it's barely any better than Winblows or Crapple
>>
>>110046678
>contrarian sensibilities
Which is like 50% of the reason to use Linux.
>>
>>110046592
It's the Windows of Linux, which is why it's fitting that WSL uses Ubuntu by default.
>>
I don't hate it. I moved to debian when they started talking about dropping apt.
>>
>>110046820
>not wanting to be surveilled 24/7 like some cattle is being contrarian
Ok boomer
>>
>>110046869
If MS could they'd buy out Canonical outright like they did with Novell
>>
>>110046906
>is being contrarian
worse, it's being a luddite
>>
>luddite
m00t would've fixed this. sigh
>>
>>110046954
Just fix it yourself. Replacing all instances of 'luddite' on a webpage with 'human' shouldn't be hard for anyone on a /g/ - Technology board.
>>
I just dislike the notion that it's an easy entry to Linux for newcomers, it put wrong ideas in my head initially when I was clueless.
>>
>>110047009
That's not the only offending word, concept, or topic. You people are making this place increasing unenjoyable and hard to use.

Worse than bronies 15 years ago.
>>
>>110047064
If you're so offended by words, concepts and topics, why don't you just get a lobotomy?
>>
>>110047106
Why don't you stop spamming ai shit in every thread and ruining this place for people who've used it for a decade?

They've been infiltrated and taken over by trannies, to the point where they openly ran defense for a tranny that was harrassing 'chuds' working in other projects.

The tranny in question is a twice-convicted child rapist.

Why are all trannies like this?
>>
>>110046919
why can't they? they bought Blizzard which I guess was more expensive than ubungu will ever be
>>
Probably because of all the spying an telemetry that it's all on by default. Or maybe the ad apps that come installed by default?
Or perhaps it's just because it's just debian except much worse.
>>
>>110046592
Last time I tried it out firefox was installed as a snap by default which about doubled its startup time for some fucking reason. Anyway, I hate snaps
>>
>>110046715
>>110046815
I use Xubuntu because it has the easiest way to get the latest Intel arc drivers and I'm sick of fly by night meme distros
>>
>>110047169
>ad apps
Examples?

>Why don't you stop spamming ai shit in every thread and ruining this place for people who've used it for a decade?
I don't spam AI shit. I hate AItroons. You just sound like a retard is all.

>>110046592
Well, for one thing its named like an African Warlord. That probably didn't help their image. But realistically, the answer is that it isn't Windows. People may bitch and haw about Windows but its the most popular operating system for a reason - people don't care about privacy, morals or freedom-to-do-X as much as people care about convenience. First and foremost, people want products to be convenient so they can do less work. Simple as.

>replacing popular packages with Snap versions despite Snap being shit for non-server use
>forcing maintainers of flavors to use Snap too and drop any mention of Flatpak and AppImage (this is understandable at least)
>past deals with amazon that added telemetrt to the search tool
>Canonical continuously tries to make their own implementation of something before giving up and using in Ubuntu the more popular alternatives, wasting everyone's time and resources (like with Mir, Unity and Snap)
I have always preferred Mint over Ubuntu as the "just works" distro, but I appreciate all the things Canonical does to make Ubuntu be a great base for other distros, even if they go full retard from time to time. Simply providing a quick and easy access to extra drivers (with a dedicated repo and a GUI) and new kernel stacks (with HWE) is a game changer for many.

What spying?
Telemetry is off by default on ubuntu 26.04 LTS

>the ad apps
This hasn't been a thing for 6 years.
