Hello everyone! I would like to know why there seems to be some dislike toward Ubuntu within the Linux community. I would like you to share your reasons for why you like Ubuntu or, on the contrary, why you don't. Thanks 🙇

Snaps obscure content from validation also.

Snaps also can't be mirrored locally or lifecycle controlled in an enterprise environment, as the server portion isn't open source.

They can, through the Snap Store Proxy. You can fully airgap the process and host a local mirror.
As far as I know, you're still locked into their ecosystem, though.

Yes. One more reason why they are against a major benefit of Linux.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
