I wouldn't use the word "sucks"..<p>But i'm upset with Ubuntu for two reasons:<p>* Going their own way with their own display stack (Mir).<p>* Requiring folks sign a CLA for GPL3 code, which creates an unfair asymmetry between the rights you have to to the code you produced and the rights they have to that code.<p>I think the distro itself is fine. Most of the arguments against it are simply because people wanna be "elite" and look down on people using something that has a decent chance of working right out of the box.
Thank you guys! It's more clear for me now.<p>So, the problem is: Ubuntu is a fine distro, but it's backed by a (commercial) company, not the community. And this company has done something unfair to the community, the contributors, violated privacy for sending user's data,...<p>Not about the technical or Linuxrism things, am I right?
For me it's generally that they don't properly test their packages properly - there's been sooooo many breaking updates and upgrades over the years, there's also some poor default settings, oh and upstart because... Well upstart.
