Kind of an asshole statement tbh

Ubuntu tries to become (or is already) the de facto standard. That is what assholes do.

We should probably burn down the homes of people who use it then /s

Honestly, I meant it for a joke, but people started taking it seriously, I don't know where to end this.

Hmm alright. I too dislike some things about Ubuntu but on the other hand you cannot blame people (myself included) who either have tried other distros and had support issues and came back to Ubuntu based, or those who just want the easier route to begin with. Ubuntu-based seems to be a good compromise for many. I've also used arch and fedora and had more headaches and breakages on those. Also I literally have a laptop that gets supported on Ubuntu so it makes life easier all around. Fuck some of the things canonical does but I just do not want to spend time with things like fixing my wifi connection after running pacman -S install or whatever that command is.

Yeah, but I think forks of Ubuntu such as Mint or Zorin deserves more recognition as first Linux distro. Choosing Ubuntu just because everyone else is using just feels very wrong.

I too got tired of using those niche distros and once settled on Solus (but now using NixOS for some reason).

Well imo, on lemmy anyhow, they do get a million times more recognition. Everyone is in the cult of Mint, which is one of the few I tried briefly and actively did not like it.
