Ubuntu has been the user friendly introduction to GNU/Linux and free software for many people, it was for me, but in recent years Canonical has made many harmful decisions. They have a purposely unclear trademark policy, have had multiple GPL violations, opted users into sending desktop search data to Amazon, market proprietary SaaS (Landscape, defunct One Cloud, and AFAIK the Snappy server is proprietary), and sell and encourage the use of proprietary software in their Software Center. It's time to move on from Ubuntu.
- chillingeffect 10y agoI've really liked Ubuntu and was looking forward to 16.04, but can you recommend what my next move might be? I'm certainly open to suggestions. My goal is a low-admin workstation for running design apps like Inkscape, eagle and other CNC and electrical engineering software. merci.
