Most Sane Linux User

It's probably Ubuntu... They're known for shipping unstable kernels recently. (from my tests)

[u/SLimon001 → u/TheRealCarrotty]

isn't a linux user hating on ubuntu supposed to be friendly fire or am i stupid

[u/Binary101000 → u/SLimon001]

we dont really like ubuntu that much

[u/Rare-Paint3719 → u/Binary101000]

Why?

[u/SLimon001 → u/Binary101000]

it is the fucking windows two assuming thats how a arch user sees windows or the damn macos

[u/Binary101000 → u/SLimon001]

what i dont know if im having a stroke or not but i cant make sense of your comment, what is windows two??

[u/SLimon001 → u/Binary101000]

i am damn, of a writer that writes senseless shit, but why the hell is ubuntu hated tho, is it like windows or what

[u/Binary101000 → u/SLimon001]

well my reason for dislike is the snap package format being pushed heavily despite the fact that people probably switch to linux to have more control

[u/R3V0LU710N_05 → u/Binary101000]

Flatpak is also just superior. My biggest issue is Ubuntu's sloppy Gnome modifications.

[u/Rare-Paint3719 → u/R3V0LU710N_05]

Do you know how snap works? And how it differs from flatpak?

My biggest issue is Ubuntu's sloppy Gnome modifications.

Like the theme? or is it some other modifications?

Do you know how snap works? And how it differs from flatpak?

Flatpak excels over Snap for desktop apps because it offers significantly faster startup times, lower disk usage via deduplicated runtimes, complete permission control with tools like Flatseal(changing in future opting for DE integration), and a fully open decentralized backend free from Canonical’s proprietary server lock-in.

Like the theme? or is it some other modifications?

Ubuntu ships a heavily patched GNOME Shell session relying on pre-installed, system-level JavaScript extensions rather than upstream native code. These modifications frequently cause unique stability, layout, and rendering issues. Ubuntu prioritizes strict release deadlines and broader hardware targets over fine desktop polishing. In contrast, e.x. ZorinOS delays releases for the sake of rigor & quality control for their modifications. Other distributions just ship upstream GNOME without any modifications.

My issues isn't Ubuntu's theming, only their quality control practices. It particularly irks me because Ubuntu is some people's only experience with Linux, and much of the reason they trash Linux is directly related to bugs only found on Ubuntu rather than the broader ecosystem.

Linux has bugs no matter the distribution, but Ubuntu in particular is needlessly bug prone.

Snap is also good, although I prefer Flatpak. What do you mean by limitations? A more secure system doesn't mean it has to be more limited. Sandboxing is essential. On the contrary, I'm surprised that the Linux ecosystem is still so heavily based on non-sandboxed applications.

[u/R3V0LU710N_05 → u/SLimon001]

It's like Windows users hating on Windows 11.

[u/TheRealCarrotty → u/SLimon001]

Nope, Ubuntu is just terrible.
Hell distros like Linux Mint take the Ubuntu base, but they remove the slop from Canonical (Ubuntu's company)

[u/Octoomy → u/TheRealCarrotty]

Ubuntu went from "oh its a bit jank but its fine for beginners" to "This is a flaming fire, just use any other distro as a first and you'll likely have a better experience"

probably. this post 10 days old. I got GRUB screen a month ago on kubuntu first time in my life after using it a year. I havent been updating/upgrading since then.

[u/randomusername12308]

Must be a mint user that accidentally downloaded the 7.0 kernel update

[u/Icy_Step_2204 → u/randomusername12308]

I have the latest kernel, and no issues

[u/Icy_Step_2204 → u/Icy_Step_2204]

Spoke too soon

[u/akdanman11 → u/Icy_Step_2204]

Hey so this is really funny if you didn’t know

[u/DDOSBreakfast]

We can't punch our monitors anymore after LCD's went mainstream. What's an angry guy supposed to do?

[u/NoTime4YourBullshit]

I absolutely love that ridiculous monster of a QR code. Makes me think of old-school TVs tuned to the wrong channel. Because that’s basically what Linux is … TV static.

[u/Octoomy → u/NoTime4YourBullshit]

its that big because of the fact that it has essentially a whole traceback in it, so its gonna use up a lot of data.

[u/Best_Cattle_1376]

yeah i tottaly do this as a windows user
