I call bullshit. Fourteen umyears of using Ubuntu, through security issues, Amazon ads, Unity and back to Gnome, and so on. But an ad for a pro service in the motd does it?
- jbirer 4y ago>through security issues I did not really care back then, even happy as a teenager that I was able to use a root exploit to get root on our high school's computers. It's something that you become curious about in your 20s >Amazon ads It was literally just an Unity bar icon and search results. >Unity Was awesome. Definitely not as good as GNOME 2 with the Human murrine theme but the keyboard shortcuts and the search made it a pleasure to work with >But an ad for a pro service in the motd does it? It's not just that. These things creep up slowly, companies start testing waters and then things progress. Look at Windows, soon you will have to pay a subscription to use it, you will own nothing.

- lern_too_spel 4y agoapt is a new program that has human-readable output with suggestions meant for human consumption. apt-get still exists and behaves exactly as always.
- Shared404 4y agoI wasn't making any value judgement on the situation, just nitpicking GP's comment for accuracy. I will probably not use Ubuntu for any personal stuff after this, but I already wasn't.

- unethical_ban 4y agoBetter closed source support when needed, and ZFS out of the box. It's been a while since I compared though, I'm only using prox ox (debian) for a vm server and fedora for laptop.
