From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What's wrong about Ubuntu according to you?
It seems that Canonical likes to spend a lot of resources on building projects on their own and put them into Ubuntu, only to discontinue them for another solution after some amount of years.
They're currently pushing hard for their snap packages. It isn't a bad concept per se but their Snap Store server is closed source, with no alternatives repositories so far. There are also other options, like Flatpak, which is more widespread, and fully open.
Understood mate, thx for your help I will think about it, beside snap thing, there is something else concerning about Ubuntu?
Not much that I can think of. I used it until a few years ago, and the experience was pretty good.
Thx for you help mate 👍👍
