Why Linux Users Love to Hate Ubuntu (itsfoss.com)

Whether it’s jokes about Snap packages or criticism of Canonical’s decisions, mocking Ubuntu often feels like the default attitude in parts of the Linux community.

To be fair, Canonical has made decisions over the years that have not always been well received, and some of the criticisms of Ubuntu and the direction it’s taken have their own merit. Yet, the derisive way Ubuntu is often talked about online isn’t particularly fair and, frankly, misses the point.

Yeah this is BS. They had one the best Linux contributers in their corner developing his LXC for Canonical but even he eventually was tired if their shenanigans and re-invented LXD in the new and improved incus.

I've tried Ubuntu a couple times in the past 5 years and it's the sone of same type of frustrations I had with Windows.
