As someone who has used Ubuntu in the past and has now moved onto greener pastures, I appreciate everything Canonical and Ubuntu have done for the Linux community but there are many better options today and Canonical is already far from the company it once used to be.
- dgfitz 3y agoWhenever I see an open job req for canonical I run for the hills.
- mianos 3y agoThey must have a fast revolving door. I have know so many people who worked there in the last few years but seem to have moved in. Probably depends on the team and the worst ones have a lot of churn.
- margorczynski 3y agoFrom what I see on Glassdoor they have bad, toxic management so that would explain a lot.
- hnlmorg 3y agoThere have always been better distributions than Ubuntu. That isn’t something new. What Canonical did better than anyone else was mass market appeal. Or at least appeal to a wider market than Linux traditionally had. But as someone who’s used Linux since the 90s, I was always underwhelmed by Ubuntu as a distribution. That all said, I have to work with a lot of CentOS and Rocky workstations for VFX and I enjoy those for desktop Linux even less than Ubuntu.
- xarope 3y agowhat would your top suggestions be for server or desktop, instead of ubuntu? Arch (too unstable for server?), Silverblue?
- rompledorph 3y agoRecently installed PopOS on my desktop. That is currently my top suggestion as an Ubuntu alternative
- unmole 3y agoDebian for server, Fedora or openSUSE Tumbleweed for desktop.
- xarope 3y agoThanks, I've started going that way too (back to Debian for server based)
- solumunus 3y agoI hate it when people say stuff like this and then don’t express their opinions on the better alternatives.
- sitkack 3y agoThey mean Nix and Arch.
