It’s still good, it’s just popular now so the edgelords hate it.
They basically force you to use snaps, that’s why it’s not good.
They also have ads in the package manager.
Umm what ?
Misinformation.
They also show ads in the MotD on Ubuntu server.
So what’s the misinformation again?
The interpretation of this line. Calling this “ads in the package manager” is intellectually dishonest in my opinion.
How is that anything other than an ad in the package manager?
If you want to be nitpicky about it, you could consider it to not be an “ad” because its not a company paying to put that text there. It’s Ubuntu promoting their own product. But I don’t think it makes much of a difference in this case, since it’s a big annoyance either way.
I’m certain Canonical paid someone to put that message there
Yup, that’s pretty nitpicky alright. Requires ignoring the basic definition of “advertisement”.
Calls facts “misinformation”, refuses to elaborate.
Talk about intellectually dishonest.
They have made quite a few questionable decisions over time and trying to push users into their own packaging format is a big no no for many. Yours is a very dumb take.
Thanks, edgelord
Can’t make a coherent counter-argument? Just call them and edgelord!
Please let me know which brilliant argument your peer has made that so excited you. Is it the vague “questionable decisions”, the “big no no” or that “Yours is a very dumb take?”
See the other replies that you’ve conveniently ignored for the meat of those decisions.
I don’t know, sounds inconvenient.
Yeah, making very dumb takes like yours is much easier.
Considering your proficiency at dumb takes, I’ll take your word for it.
For me the question is rather, what’s the current raison d’être for Ubuntu if you’re not looking for Debian with paid support?
Granted it’s been long since I’ve used it (I used it from 2005 or so until 2008 when I switched to Arch), but there’s no really appealing quality for me there that I couldn’t have with Debian. Apart from that, Canonical makes questionable decisions – snap, as others have mentioned, a total disaster in my opinion; Mir was another of their misadventures (later retrofitted into a Wayland compositor); upstart didn’t turn out successful (though to give credit, it was an honest attempt at a new init system and lessons were learned); the LXD maintainer issue as of late leaves a sore taste in my mouth, plus they were always very community-unfriendly with their CLAs. And all this for what? Might as well use their upstream instead.
Ubuntu has the largest community around it, meaning you’ll find help for it the fastest.
Granted, some issues are distro-agnostic, but you can’t always know whether yours is, especially if you are newer to Linux.
Fastest help is Archwiki, even if you run Ubuntu…
Hard false. This is only true for experienced users. For me the Arch wiki is great, for a novice it isn’t.
I disagree. It’s very detailed and I think it can both help a novice and help a novice become less of a novice.
