That's clear! It's just that many of us have been conditioned by internet snark to read comments like the GP cynically, unless they contain disambiguating information (as your comment here does). You did nothing wrong, but I have a hunch that ambiguity may have been the source of some downvotes.

Good point. It does have kind of a hyperbolic snark about it if one didn't know that I was a little bit of a fanatic for Ubuntu. :)

I kind of get the downvotes.
