Apt-news made me finally leave Ubuntu after over a decade. I went to Debian and Arch depending.

Seeing ‘apt update’ shill r/Linux was the last straw after forcing-snap, forcing-Amazon ads, Wayland vs Mir, etc. I should have left years ago. Canonical, are you listening? Stop.

I'm surprised Canonical doesn't get more shit than they do. Not sure why no one talks about it

I think it is the low switching cost.

People complain about snap and unity (and wayland, systemd, gnome 3) all the time instead; some of those are harder to avoid any particular distribution.
