| Ubuntu definitely done a lot of good. 6.06 LiveCD and Theme, installation in Windows partition, these we good. A lot of people recommended Ubuntu and that I believe is a problem. I got it wrong too. Ubuntu does a lot of experiments on its users - Pulse Audio, Unity, now Snaps. Each time a lot of fuss. It means technology is not ready. It would be fine if rolled in separate distribution Exbuntu (experimental Ubuntu) and rolled to masses once feature becomes popular, but no. Those who listened to my recommendation would see bugs and that is zero-sum game. But we can easily resolve it - recommend no nonsense distros - Linux Mint, ElementaryOS, Pop!_OS, Debian. And that's already happening on this page. Ubuntu may even encourage that. Everyone would be happy. So what is wrong with silent snaps Chromium install? Those who use apt are sophisticated enough to chose. And "issue has been around", have you red The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? “But the plans were on display…” > You just need to attract new Windows users, not steal Ubuntu users. That's gross. Have you red what people say? Those who switched to Linux because of such moves from Microsoft. I'm fine with Ubuntu destroying itself. I do not use it. No one steals Ubuntu users, that's Ubuntu who destroy its userbase. |
