Ubuntu desktop is anything but stable. Nuke-and-pave is the only sane solution to the OS corruption issues. The GUI is more stripped down than a holocaust victim. They still haven't figured out drag and drop. And on top of that, everyone swears such-and-such distribution is actually the good one, but it never is. The desktop is in permanent demo mode. A back-burner school project that turned into a part-time hobby.
Maybe you just use it for web browsing. But for everyone else, there's Windows. Which is still crap but at least you can set an environment variable without doing a research project into the differences between .bash_profile, .bashrc, .profile, and /etc/environment. None of which have a GUI. And the best part is that none of them can ever be renamed because muh scripts would break and the entire OS would come crashing down.
- swayvil 4y agoOk, ya, last time I used Ubuntu I didn't like it either. I like Debian (Ubuntu is derived from it apparently), with MATE desktop.
- iraqmtpizza 4y agoIt is about what I would expect from an OS that considers UI to be bloatware and viral anti-business licenses to be more free than permissive ones.
- opan 4y agoFreedom 0 of free software, use the software for any purpose, includes commercial usage. There's nothing anti-business about it.
- iraqmtpizza 4y agoI agree. Using software modifications as a competitive advantage in business does not violate free software licenses. It does, however, violate non-free licenses like GPL
- inkblotuniverse 4y agoIt's just the equivalent of a consumer protection law: you have to sell people the software, not a build artifact.
