Canonical has a poor track record of freedom in general, IMO, at least for desktop. Ubuntu Server is pretty straightforward, but unless you need the extended security updates or Livepatch, I don’t see the point. Between telemetry enabled by default, pushing everything to Snap, and their brief “let’s send searches to Amazon” experiment, it’s a no from me. I’m not a purist who refuses to use non-free things, but I don’t particularly like being herded towards a single way of doing something (Snap). systemd is nearly at my breaking point as it is.
