I started on Ubuntu, then I read more about Ubuntu, and switched to Mint. Ubuntu brings a lot of people to Linux, and then a lot of people leave Ubuntu after learning more about it.

You could read more about Ubuntu, too, the information is available.

Thank you - what made you leave Ubuntu?

What might people read that would convince them to switch?

For me, among other things it hijacked apt for snap silently, or something sneaky like that.

Most basic thing - devs target it for things like schools, yet rip out things for remote management.

Like to get any kind of remote access you have to re-install the services for it. Talk about ass backwards.

it takes less than 5seconds to "reinstall" them. I swear distros cant win with whatever software they include/dont.
