The author raises some good questions about the licensing of the core utils.

I think that the core idea, that Ubuntu is taking risks, shipping an LTS with major changes, is concerning. New core utils that don’t have feature parity, pipewire as a snap, a single-digit-days-old kernel (which has major changes to scheduling that cause known major regressions with some major software until they get updated), a new sudo implementation that may not be as secure (?), etc. Plus, jumping the hardware req to 6 GB and removing a GUI app for non-snap apps…
Just more evidence that Ubuntu isn’t a good recommendation anymore.
I’d go a step further, and say it’s a bad idea to recommend any Ubuntu-based distros. Yes, that means Mint.
Note that Mint released a Debian-based spin (LMDE)! Pretty interesting I think
Yep. Sadly.
I don’t think I’ll have a choice but to move to another distro. I don’t even know what to recommend to my parents now if they want to move to Linux. Maybe Debian? Ugh…
Fedora, I think, is pretty good for a normal user.
