I'm very happy for you. How does that help the people who do encounter issues?
It used to be the case that the normal download from the homepage was often useless because it didn't support most networking hardware, but this is no longer the case now.
Canonical is just rushing the switch because they want to get rid of software with GPLv3 license, not because there is any technical merit for doing so.
They claim it is for compliance but it's well known that user modifications to cars are no longer the responsibility of the car company. I think it's more on principle than any real legal concern.
Xorg allows running sub-instances.
Wayland is now older than Xorg was when "it was really old, we need something new".
Ubuntu does offer some certifications but only for paying customers, so everyone else should really steer clear.
I haven't tried chromium but I presume it's the same issue.
At work I'm forced to use ubuntu and I placed snapd on hold and added mozilla's own apt repository to my configuration to get firefox.
At least in the past few months the dbus crashes (been using systemd on debian for several years just fine, this never happened) that render the system unusable and un-rebootable have stopped… I guess when my company will decide to upgrade to 26.04 there will be more instability and problems.
And now it's even worse but USA gets free oil so it's all fine!

I don't have the book here with me so I cannot check the exact amount of years but it's ridiculously small.
I'm surprised that COM is still a thing!
