- Mikeb85 5y agoNo, it's not. Some people are just annoyed that Ubuntu stopped trying to be MacOS and is now into enterprise and cloud things to make money.
- onemoresoop 5y agoI think I'll make some small donation to Ubuntu to show them some appreciation. I am new to Linux. I attempted to install Linux in the past and got stuck somewhere and was either unwilling to or didn't have time to proceed to a full install. About a year ago I got mad with windows and gave Ubuntu a try and loved it from he first try. It installed flawlessly on a couple of machines(laptops) and could even tether from my Iphone through USB. Was quite impressed. I don't really need crazy features but a stable and snappy machine that Im in control of and Ubuntu can deliver that for me. I recently installed a live Ubuntu with persistent storage on small stick on my work's machine. When I sign off my work day I restart with the live image and the machine isn't impacted at all. Beside the booting time which is a bit slow (from the stick) the OS behaves absolutely fantastic, love it. I may now be inclined to try other Linux distributions, now that I've been warming up to Linux for the past 12 months but Ubuntu is quite a keeper. I converted my wife computer from windows to Ubuntu and she seems quite happy as well. Automatic updates and nagging popups were some complaints from her and on Ubuntu she had none. I wish hibernate mode worked but Im by far happier with Ubuntu even without it.
