Ubuntu in ~2015 was peak Linux (for me). Everything worked flawlessly with zero bugs, even printers. It's been downhill ever since with the exception of Steam Proton, but even then I've had more bugs with Steam in the past couple years then I did in 2013.
I despise ubuntu solely because of snap
I am still pissed at Ubuntu
As you should be.
Ubuntu is recommended by microsoft
Damn, that amounts to corporate disparagement...
Hey, you should be careful around Ubuntu fans. They might just snap.
*laugh track*
If it works for you, i literally could not care less

That behavior fucking sucks actually
tbh ubuntu just werks
pretty decent corporate backed distro
I can't tell if this in-fighting on Linux flavors is in good humor or just snobby opinions.
false dichotomy. Sometimes people justifiably dislike something for reasons beyond elitism (e.g. Canonical is a for-profit corporation that muddies the waters of FOSS), but it's also not just playful bants.
Also, as with every opinionated topic: do your own research and think critically. Don't hate Ubuntu until you have tried it and have investigated those who maintain it. Don't praise it until you do so either.
I don't care if you come to a different conclusion than me, as long as you didn't just function on the "wisdom of the crowd"
Like most things in life, it's somewhere in the middle. Some of the criticism is factual and valid. Some, a matter of taste (mostly relating to GNOME). Some arises from negative personal experience. Some is just elitist bluster.
The best thing to do is to be rational and critical. Never dismiss an opinion outright without separating the truth from the bullshit.
I think it's just elitism. The worst example is Chris Titus making a video where he explains why you shouldn't use Ubuntu. And then proceeds to make video explaining how it's not actually that bad and he uses it with a different DE.
But now 300K people saw that Ubuntu bad for stupid reasons, from a "reputable" source.
Good for you
