Ubuntu ate Linux (or GNU/Linux), as it seems, for the mainstream world. I hate it. I bet Stallman, Ken Thomson, the GNU Project, Bell Labs and many others are crying and laughing at the same time. We live in a world built upon the previous one, as the previous was already was. Some things we forget, others become lore, folklore, myths, and others are lost... It is similar to Facebook providing Internet. Or Dropbox providing 'rsync'. Maybe one day the common man will rediscover plaintext and the command line interface. And the then hipsters will use it.
