I’m hearing and feeling the bad vibes towards Ubuntu, but they’ve not done anything to totally ruffle my feathers just yet. I went full Ubuntu with about 10 servers and 2 desktops. I don’t mind snaps, but my senses are heightened after the red hat shebackle, so considered a next move in case Ubuntu disappoints me with these enterprise decisions. I’m happy to accept an immutable distro like they have planned, but with snaps being proprietary what would that make the distro? Hmm. Do I need to reconsider snaps?
I heard canonical took lxd in house, however I thought it was canonical anyway, and i use lxd a lot, so I’m concerned there’s a play they are going to make… If the red hat thing never happened, I’d probably not have had much concern, but… Red hat thing did happen, and so did reddit. Anyway, hopefully it’s just a little paranoia from recent events. 😬
I’m not huge into customising desktop environments, so when I’ve tried window managers like i3, I typically only get it functional to my likings and then realise how boring I am compared to how others use it.
So typically I use gnome or kde, but I like cinnamon and xfce as well. I don’t really have a favourite, they’re all good. At the minute I am trying to adopt wayland and have been using gnome while I do that.
