"You should just use #Ubuntu because it's the easiest one" - this is propaganda for #Shuttleworth and tells me you haven't tried any other distro - or that you use #Arch.

#LinuxMint is fantastic still, #Fedora is my go to recommendation, but with #uBlue and #Bazzite we see a new era of usability focused #distributions.

Add to that the fact that #snaps are a centralizes repository with no third party vendors, and you've got a #vendorlockin.

Ubuntu is the #anticonsumer distribution as a result.

@PeterCxy @lispi314 personally, I think such #AntiConsumer & #AntiRepairDesign should be outlawed, espechally with #medical #devices like a #wheelchair.

• There's no "legitimate reason" why they could not stick with an #XLR-style connector. It's just a big ass DC cable that needs to be protected against user error and electric shock but it's not like some industrial machine that has to be safe in an explosive atmosphere where it gets constantly splashed with acid and contaminants...

At this point I'm convinced manufacturers only do that because they know most wheelchair users are not capable of #DIY'ing something better or afford to hire someone to do it for them!
