Why does Ubuntu attract so many haters?

@itsfoss You can use snaps, flatpaks and deb-packages side by side, and you can allways decide by yourself which one to use, so what's all the fuss anyway? Ubuntu just works.
@weirdfish @itsfoss I don't get it either.

I've used many distros over the decades and was quite happy to have Ubuntu be a major one for a long time. But the Snaps are annoying.

Ubuntu Isn’t Perfect… But the Hate It Gets Is Over the Top
Ubuntu may not be perfect, but the amount of hate it receives from Linux users is often exaggerated. Here's why the criticism deserves a rethink.

I don't hate Ubuntu but the last LTS came with some issues that were very frustrating for me and which would have vexxed someone with less experience. Three that spring to mind:
-NTFS driver that doesn't work (why can I suddenly not access my NTFS drives!?)
-appimages restricted (why can I not open these programs that I rely on!?)
-GTK version not being backwards compatible (why do the GUIs of these plugins I rely on suddenly not work!?)

@itsfoss I Kind of like Ubuntu... Is there hate? I am quite new to this.

@itsfoss
I learned a lot with Ubuntu desktop many years ago, but at one point, I felt like I was fighting more with it than I was actually using it. Snap made it even worst... For the desktop, I left for Pop!Os for many years, but now that they are not updating the Gnome version anymore, I switched to Debian. I still use Ubuntu-server a lot though... -

@itsfoss for me, it was like someone had rearranged a room in a way that didn't make sense to me.

Mostly I'm just used to the old way of doing things with .deb files.Beyond that I guess I've come to accept Flatpak since it seems to have become the more common cross distro packaging system.

@itsfoss my first distro was kubuntu (ubuntu shipping with kde) and its probably the worst distro ive used so far and ive used a lot, its not that its doing anything wrong (even tho it does with snap and probably other things) its that i dont see much reason to use it over something like fedora or just base debian
