Ubuntu: Where Did the Love Go?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the why-can't-we-all-get-along dept.

inkscapee writes "Used to be Ubuntu was the big Linux hero, the shining knight that would drive Linux onto every desktop and kick bad old Windows to the curb. But now Ubuntu is the Bad Linux. What's going on, is it typical fanboy fickleness, or is Canonical more into serving their own interests than creating a great Linux distro?"

    Since when is Ubuntu the 'bad linux'?

    Since they put the window buttons on the left hand side, if I remember correctly.

    Every single word is negative
    Just like he's being paid
    A Microsoft Ad to begin the article
    All other articles at bottom of page also negative towards Linux

    Yet another incendiary post on a site that generates revenue by number of browser clicks. I'll skip TFA, thanks. Ubuntu seems to be doing just fine. They are generating attention with their new UI, the Ubuntu Server release is one of the best out there, and there doesn't seem to be a lot of reasons for people to 'hate' on it since it benefits upstream as well as down. Who's letting this trash get to the default RSS?
