Anecdotal, but I have had bad experiences using Ubuntu. I know it's not a bad distro, and that it contributes a lot (especially historically), but it's the other distros that take their contributions and add to it that I find worth using or recommending, or sometimes an unrelated distro. It's the sort of thing I might give money to, but I'll never want to use directly.
I think this is what people mean when they say it's bad - that distros that take what Ubuntu made and add their own touch seem more user friendly.
If you're going to shill a corpo distro, at least shill a decent one like fedora.
Lmao. As if corporate operating systems were bad. What makes RedHat that much better tho? I want to know. From what I've seen they are both bringing a lot of value to the FOSS space.
- Fedora makes very minimal changes to downstream. The gnome experience on fedora is the experience the devs intended, for better or worse.
- It often experiments with new technologies. It was the first to ship pulseaudio out of box. And then again for pipewire. And if it wasn't the first to install wayland by default, it probably was the first to stop shipping XOrg out of box.
- It doesn't install snaps instead of native packages when you run rpm install
- It's also Linus Torvald's distro of choice if that's worth anything
