I'm all for Snap criticism, but Ubuntu is clearly good software made by Canonical. We need to stop using this level of inflammation in our discourse.



> Ubuntu is clearly good software made by Canonical

I can only speak for my own experience but if I had to choose between using Ubuntu for the rest of my life and losing a finger, I think I would lose a finger.

There is no worse operating system I have ever used. It is Linux made by people who never bothered to open a manpage, software engineered by people who think engineering is waste of time. It is basically the Robert McNamara of operating systems, I can just hear him now, "there is no such thing as planning or engineering, just crisis management". Funny thing is they probably think crisis management is too big an ask.

One of my biggest gripes with Windows is that many parts of it feels like it was created by people who never even tried it because it should be obvious to anybody who ever tried it that it is a horrible user experience.

Ubuntu is basically the dumpster fire version of this. It's like someone read about dumpster fires and thought "wow, that sounds nice, how can we make an operating system like that".


This comment adds no value to the discussion; it's "Ubuntu bad, Canonical bad" stretched over 4 paragraphs. Yes, it's clear that you don't like them. HN discussion are expected to be more substantial than this.
