I keep reading this, but why?

    Couple reasons people dislike Ubuntu/Canonical. 1) they're just popular, but also they went their own way with the Unity UI hoping to score a BMW touchscreen contract, they went their own way with snaps which are much worse than flatpak, they added ads for "Ubuntu Pro" in the distro (notably in the terminal).

    I think they have a reputation for going off and doing their own thing rather than working with existing solutions.

    I'm having a hard time understanding the criticism on them working with companies, or developing tech towards it, though. I thought it would be a good thing if a Linux company introduced systems for general use, same with Edubuntu. Having Ubuntu on school PCs is definitely better than Windows for example.

    Edit: The rest makes sense!
