I haven't used Ubuntu for years, ever since they started selling their souls to Amazon and bundling literal actual botnet malware in their distro, but for some reason I decided to give it an honest go today. Forget the Amazon shit. Forget the systemd. SNAP is the worst thing in the fucking world. Snap is pure absolute cancer.

How in the hell do people use Ubuntu? WHY do people still use Ubuntu? Jesus christ what the fuck happened to Ubuntu.

It just works mane. I use it for work and such. If you want anonymity (for browsing pr0n for example) you can dual boot with another distro.

It used to share your searches in the dash with Amazon by default you inbred nigger, and it still encourages you to send the botnet system analytics information during initial setup, and pushes Ubuntu One accounts on people.

I find it annoying. PPA are a mess, apt is slow and annoying, repo packages are old for doing real work and snaps are just a shitty patch trying to fix that.

For work (development) I use arch because AUR and the package management mostly. When I need a stable distro (servers and such) I rely on Debian.

Software that gets lots of funding will expand in scope for better or worse. The real shame is that nobody made unofficial Ubuntu isos that continued Ubuntu 10.10. It's not hard, just build an ISO with gnome2/MATE instead of Unity using the regular Ubuntu packages. All Ubuntu needed to do was keep the desktop the same long enough (5+ years) for people to get used to it. Windows 10's interface is still 90% the same as Windows XP. But alas some things were never meant to be and Linux Mint stole Ubuntu's popularity, becoming the most popular Linux distro.

I assure you that if Ubuntu looked like this today, it would've been the #1 distro

Ubuntu itself sucks but Ubuntu derivatives, spins, flavors or whatever the fuck they're called (like Kubuntu, Xubuntu etc..) are actually a pretty good balance between cancer and autism. Thank God all this shit is open source.

using void now for over 2 years as my main OS, the biggest flaw is that you have to use other wikis to troubleshoot in most cases because the user base isn't that big. And the common problems that come with a rolling release distro. but xbps and runit are fucking solid.

if you mean Guix, yes its in a early stage but the concept seems to be awesome for second/backup machines

Yes, this is clearly bad.

>it still encourages you to send the botnet system analytics information during initial setup

Define botnet or kill yourself, analytics are a must to figure out what needs fixing in a timely manner, the important thing is for them to be strongly anonymous by default and to have options to turn them off.

>pushes Ubuntu One accounts

Unified sign in is exactly what users do regardless by reusing passwords.

GNOME 3 is slow and has stutter/tearing/60fps lock problems and other performance problems(like moving your mouse pointer causes cpu/gpu spikes, yeah...) since whenever that incest of software came to be

Snap is shit, not compatible with themes, wastes hard drive space and facilitates security problems

Ubuntu server is useless now that they're pushing their retarded defaults, their user/admin manuals are literally just basic instructions on how to use GNOME and their crap software shop gui bs so good fucking luck if you aren't a 1337 dark wizard and need to know where the fuck are network conf files located.
