Sounds like an AI SlopTuber.

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.

It’s made by Canonical, a for-profit company, where’s the surprise?
Have they gone public yet?

Well, the worst Ubuntu release was 16.04, where snaps were introduced as a default system component. His rants are a bit too late. The only thing that turns 26.04 into shit is shipping PipeWire as a snap. Most of his other expressed thoughts aren’t problems at all. Some are just questionable design choices. In fact, some are very welcome, especially the new core utilities being released under the MIT license.
