It's just a lot of little things...
It's just a lot of little things... It's not that ubuntu is bad, it's just that, well, there is no reason to use ubuntu when there are distributions that do much more much better. - PPA's are perhaps the most terrible way of providing more up to date packages than what is available in main repos. Typically they'll 404. You're also trusting some random person on the internet to maintain your system. I much prefer arch PKGBUILDs. - You'll commonly find out of date packages. As a developer this is particularly frustrating. I don't want to just unpack an archive to my rootfs. I also don't want to wrestle debuild just to get a newer library. I understand that LTS support is important, but it really isn't that important. - The whole amazon fiasco from a few years back ticks me off. Yeah, I know you could disable it. It's just that they did that by default in the first place. - upstart sucks, and in spite of the fact that they're moving/moved, they hung on too long because they are stubborn. Let me ask you this: What are the advantages of ubuntu over other linux/gnu distributions?
