Complete history of Ubuntu: a lot of highs, a lot of lows bugs and poor decisions.
There, fixed for you.
Damn, now I feel old. The first linux distro I installed (and was able to run on my hardware) was their second release, 05.04.
Peak low with Snap.
That’s what made me move onto other distros.
Thank God mint exists so everyone has a viable snap-free alternative.
Wish they’d drop it already.
The thing with Ubuntu is: Every single one of their releases since 2008 had a “I wish they’d drop this” thing.
What people want is a preconfigured Debian with newer packages and non-free Codecs.
But that’s not what Canonical wants. They use Debian as base to build off of its millions of volunteer work-hours, but very much try to commercialize and monetize their product.
I’d still be using Ubuntu sometimes if it weren’t for the snaps thing. They only make sense for proprietary software… but snaps still suck. I don’t like packaged software. They contain all kinds of things that can’t be updated. The app store was getting better before all that changed. Now Debian seems better, but I still prefer source based distros like Gentoo because the ingredients come with recipes.
