    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

      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

      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.
