I remember when Ubuntu's boss announced moving window buttons to the left two weeks after ui freeze of upcoming lts. That was the beginning of the end of the Ubuntu's desktop for me.

Was it better when they released 21.10 (IIRC) with a KNOWN file system corrupting bug?

If you knowingly corrupt data, then what else matters?

(Having "we recommend that people who use ZFS don't upgrade" hidden in release notes doesn't negate it)

I got bitten by this. It's one of the worst things to leave a taste in my mouth for a while :/. They could have at least put out a patch release of the install CD but afaik it was still shipping with the broken version months later (which was a pity when I needed a live CD that was... safe to use... on my filesystem).

Luckily, it was possible for revert this change. I kind of liked Unity. Still not sure why most people hated it
