Ubuntu used to be the distro to go do, used to.

- SNAP which is only managed and supported by them

- Tried to reinvent the wheel with sudo-rs

- They are heavily focused into cloud, servers and business

- Following the Rust hype train

I used Ubuntu for 13y or so, it is a Windows within Linux world. Bloated, kernel panic, heavy, privacy issues.

Debian still the king to be used as servers, Mint Cinnamon is the king for desktop, gaming, video editing, 3D design, coding,it just works.
