Why Ubuntu Gets So Much Hate in the Linux Community
Ubuntu may not be perfect, but the amount of hate it receives from Linux users is often exaggerated. Here's why the criticism deserves a rethink.Roland Taylor (It's FOSS)

(Though the way things are going recently with *all* distros, LFS is looking viable again.)

in reply to It's FOSS • • •many reasons to hate Ubuntu, hope the list fits in a tooth:
Centralized proprietary Snap ecosystem forced on users
replaced gnu utils with Rust
Amazon ads, sent search queries to Amazon (2012ish)
their license gives extra rights over contributions
Building Unity vs collaborating with GNOME
Creating Mir instead of using Wayland
Forcing Snap versions of apps like Firefox
Killing projects like Ubuntu Touch and Unity after pushing them heavily
Telemetry added in Ubuntu 18.04

in reply to It's FOSS • • •I don't hate Ubuntu but the last LTS came with some issues that were very frustrating for me and which would have vexxed someone with less experience. Three that spring to mind:
-NTFS driver that doesn't work (why can I suddenly not access my NTFS drives!?)
-appimages restricted (why can I not open these programs that I rely on!?)
-GTK version not being backwards compatible (why do the GUIs of these plugins I rely on suddenly not work!?)
