    Im one of those people that’s still pissed off about when they had amazon ads in the OS by default. Even though it was like 10 years ago. Like, id hit the wondows button and start typing “firefox” and see an ad for a firepit from amazon.

    Oh yeah, then i went back to it ~5 years ago until the snap packages pissed me off too much

    Debian is much easier now than it was 15 years ago, and some of that is thanks to canonical. Im not actually anti ubuntu, but they will always make weird choices to annoy people like me

      Snaps are unironically a good packaging format and it would be best for majority of users to be using them. Stronger sandboxing than flatpack, auto updating by default(huge for user security), easier for developers to package their apps.

      You can’t satisfy every person on the planet xd There are always people with different view on different things… Amazon ads were 10+ years ago… Snaps still but not everyone hates it. I don’t for example. Canonical is a corporation which trying to make money. Of course. But at least they are doing it keeping Ubuntu free, and survive in this world where you can’t do nothing without money. FOSS people basically pays nothing for things they are using. So it’s nothing wrong Canonical trying to monetize their work.
