Canonical. Their desktop experience had already lost its shine (and, effing snaps), but I made the mistake of believing that they might be cool anyway, without doing my research.
Intelligence test? Story about high school? Reflex test? The actual red flag for me was their final admission that they require an unpaid internship in the form of "community participation."

- OnionBlender 3y agoI had the same experience and lost respect for Canonical. Kind of makes me want to avoid using Ubuntu as well.
- solarkraft 3y agoKnowing this stuff makes me feel weird about people who still ended up working there. Idealism? Very good pay?
- brainfog 3y agoJudging from data on levels.fyi, definitely not the latter.
- SomeoneFromCA 3y agoDebian has already largely caught up with Canonical. Their peak desktop experience is imho 16.04. Unless you need to update every half year, Debian is almost same as LTS Ubuntu, but no snaps.
- jsjdjd37 3y agoSwitched from Ubuntu to Debian 12 last month and couldn't be happier. Barely noticed any downsides.
