The Amazon story is really old and Ubuntu did hear the critical voices and reverted the change. The terminal ads can be annoying on servers but you can turn them off.

If you want to throw dirt on Ubuntu, let's talk about Snaps and the messy Snap Store and how the current Ubuntu site looks like (not desktop user friendly really), and what they did to LXD

but you can turn them off.

Isn’t that line of thinking the same as this post is making fun of?

If being able to turn off ads make them ok then i guess we can't complain about windows ads yet either.

Not to mention all the bugs in a so called LTS. They really should delay a release if it isn't stable

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

They delayed the beta, is the full release having issues?

what they did to LXD

I still don't understand what LXD does that LXC doesn't do. LXC is significantly more popular. All the major control panels (like Proxmox, SolusVM, Virtualizor, etc) support OpenVZ or LXC but not LXD.

Okay.I'm not going to argue about this but here's a description : https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/lxd

I'm not trying to argue? I legitimately don't know what advantages LXD has since I don't see it used widely in the industry, whereas LXC is everywhere.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

LXD is to LXC what Podman or Distrobox is to Docker (if I'm correct, it's just a convenient wrapper that does extra bits/builds on LXC)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

LXD also has some cool features like launching VMs in a way that's nearly indistinguishable from containers, which can be useful if you need to do something like run a distro that uses cgroups v1 (e.g. CentOS 7) on a more modern distro.

Yep I was trying to remember, it's been a long time since I used it!
