Is there any sensible documentation on this somewhere?
I've been running Debian, and then Ubuntu, for a quarter-century now, largely because things just worked. .deb is nearly perfect.
Having used Docker, it's the last thing I want on my desktop, for a whole slew of reasons.
It's odd, Windows and Linux switched spots in that time. Windows 10 is faster, more stable, and more understandable than Ubuntu. Ubuntu is increasingly layered, convoluted, and bloated. Windows runs on light systems. Ubuntu requires a ton of RAM and CPU.
I think this might be the thing which will makes me give up Ubuntu.

I mean, you can claim a lot of stuff about lot of things, but saying Windows is understandable is pretty rich. You can’t even reliably cron a single script to run once an hour without weird, unfathomable, undebuggable bugs starting to pop up. Care to elaborate exactly what you mean?
- woofie11 6y agoI have three machine, one is Windows, one is Ubuntu, and one is Mac. The statement was relative. I never said Windows was understandable. I said more understandable. Nineties-era Debian, I felt I understood every piece of, to where I could fill in details with documentation or code in a few minutes. 2020-era Ubuntu developed the same layeritis as Windows, only worse. Microsoft cleaned up a little bit from the bad, old Windows 95 days too. Windows 10 is slightly simpler than Windows 95, but a heck of a lot more stable.
