This is why we recommend #Fedora or a #uBlue variant in 2025. Ubuntu has become this massive Ship of Thesius, where planks and nails are flying off the thing.
Also Snaps... Snaps is an attempt at creating vendor lock-in on Linux, which is an evil onto itself (even though I full heartedly support #Flathub, largely because #Flatpak can load third party repos).

@hopland Snaps, a solution to a problem that was already solved. Without lock-in.
@DoomBananas I'm betting daddy #Microsoft convinced #Canonical that it was a good idea.
@hopland Wow, I did not know that Canonical and Microsoft are in a partnership! I stopped keeping up with the Linux news for some time.
Well that explains quite a few things
@DoomBananas that's basically the gist of it. Ever since they pow-wowed I knew it was going to be downhill from there.
I recently got to test #Ubuntu again at a local organization, and OMG. It's like the #Windows11 of #LinuxDistributions.
The GPU stack it self is the most rickety setup I've seen. I was like "how do you mess up NVIDIA driver support this badly?" It was amazing.
I've never been more convinced that I should recommend #Fedora to average users instead, cus my gawd.
@hopland was on centos for a while (long before the drama) and it was ok. Tested out fedora, but it did not play nice with my hw so I went back to Debian and moved on to Gentoo. Now I'm running Arch (btw) on my desktop and laptop and debian on the servers
