Canonical has completely torched my original opinion of them. I started with Red Had Linux back in the late 90s, but it wasn't until I could get a better-than-dialup Internet connection in the mid 2000s that I was able to finally dump Windows.
At that point, I was hearing a lot of good things about Ubuntu, so I gave it a go. Like most Linux users, I've distro hopped. I kept coming back to Ubuntu though. It was just so nice to have a polished Debian available out of the box.
Once they moved the default UI to Unity, I became less enchanted and would use the alternative releases instead. But then came the Amazon ads. And then Snaps and other not-so-hot choices. And now shit like this.
And IBM has destroyed Red Hat now too. Sigh.
Corporations always go bad over time. Hopefully more and more people will realize this.
