- everdrive 2y agoThis is ultimately what led me to leave Ubuntu behind. What do you do when you install a fresh copy of Windows? Spend some time disabling / uninstalling all the garbage. I was trying to set up a new copy of Ubuntu, trying to remove snaps, disable the Ubuntu Pro nag screens, and more. It occurred to me I was needing to decrapify Ubuntu just like I previously had to do with Windows. Well, it had a good run, but it's done. Once you need to do that to an OS, it's time to move on.
