There may be technical things we may not like about Ubuntu, but Ubuntu has been the flagship distribution which has brought countless people into Linux. After that introduction, many have gone to other distros.

There are successful distributions based on Ubuntu, so Ubuntu doesn't limits choice or freedom.

I don't understand shitting on financial success of FLOSS. Remember, free as in freedom, not necessarily as in beer.

Ubuntu doesn't prevent you, technically or legally from disabling snaps.

I rather not use Ubuntu, though but I think the impact has been a net positive.
