Thanks for that perspective.
I've never been able to prove anything and I think there are still good people doing good work in their employ but I can't help but feel like modern Canonical is an op to make desktop Linux worse.
The update tiers of "Ubuntu Pro" are really gross and probably the final nail in the coffin for me.
I'm one of those strange people who compiles all their own software and trusts nothing, but I still need to know what to recommend, y'know, sane people. I tried the Ubuntu variants out recentlyish on an unused machine and found myself making so many changes and finding packages surprisingly stale, I just I couldn't recommend people switch to this... I guess I'll give Fedora a whirl.
The Ubuntu release philosophy just never worked for me as someone that's used to using up-to-date software. I don't mind the little (sometimes big) issues that crop up. Then there's the snap debacle, especially how they surreptitiously install snap versions of apps even when you use apt-install. I can't trust software that lies to me. I use Arch but always recommend Fedora as that seems to be the best balance of stability and keeping current on drivers and software.
Meditations on trusting trust. You trust your compiler, unless you programmed something in an electrical diagram on paper then went down to a hardware store, paid in cash, and built it
You're not wrong but you've got the wrong target. I don't need to be told this.
Just pointing out that certainty is vulnerability.
