I haven't trusted Ubuntu since the Amazon ad debacle.
Wiped my drive, installed Debian, and haven't looked back.
Fuck Canonical.
I don't use Ubuntu cause of snap. What happened with Amazon ads?
Also ive never found any benefit from ubuntu-server over base debian. What the fuck is the difference?
Back inbthe mid 00s, Canonical decided to send our searches to Amazon and show us ads in the system search results.
Debian is the parent of Ubuntu. It's more stable, and doesn't have the corporate influence to enshitify it.
Thats wild. Fuck Canonical.
