I can't read this comments as anything other than virtue signalling. You can call Mark Shuttleworth an asshole and still use Ubuntu without being a hypocrite.

- pydry 3y agoIve been feeling like Ubuntu has been failing technically for years and this thread is really helping explain why.
- cbozeman 3y agoYeah, I was thinking the exact same thing. This Shuttleworth guy sounds like a smarmy jackass, and after reading that article on the hiring process, I wouldn't even wanna bother, especially considering I could literally apply at a MAGNAM company and get double the compensation. They can have their "fanatical fan base employees" with my blessing.
- hluska 3y agoWould you mind explaining why you say Ubuntu has been failing technically? I’ve found it underwhelming but I’m curious to read more negative opinions.
- antod 3y agoBut these factors were also in place for their distro ascendency too, so you probably can't blame the factors. If anything, long term success itself is more likely to explain eventual hubris, complacency then decline. I still use Ubuntu at home, but it's probably just inertia at this point. I don't hate it, but I also don't really like it the way I used to.
- hluska 3y agoThat’s interesting because as soon as I read the phrase ‘virtue signaling’, I ignore the person who wrote it. It’s deeply rude because you’re implying that I have no virtue. You don’t know me and so that’s intellectually dishonest.
- yownie 3y agofrom what you've written so far it seems pretty accurate.
