    how will I be able to comment “Ubuntu bad” in every thread and feel like a genius for not using “normie” distros?

    1. Ubuntu Dash including Amazon ads not too long ago; it was not pretty, security-wise.
    2. The whole fiasco behind Unity and Mir, and Canonical’s propensity to reinvent the wheel at home.
    3. Snap. Anything [wait… wait… wait…] Snap.

    That said this is usually fixed by upgrading it into Mint, and Mint is pretty much a “normie” distro, so you don’t need to go out of your way to install Gentoo or say “I use Arch BTW”.

      I agree with all three. I always removed (not too long ago) all those lenses with apt, install whatever display server I want with apt and use apt to remove all traces of snap. I still use it, though. For dudes using gnu/linux at home Ubuntu is just Debian without the drama.

        That’s what I did, too - it isn’t like there is no choice within Ubuntu. We could still use it to manufacture some outrage towards Ubuntu, and feel like a genius for using another distro; it would be silly but not completely irrational… unlike using Ubuntu Pro for that, the later is just witch hunting.
