    Why is that? What’s the problem with ubuntu? I mean ubuntu-based distros seem to hate my bog-standard RTX3060 GPU for some reason, but besides that. I’m pretty happy with nobara tho, and wouldn’t switch back to ubuntu even if I knew it’d work with my GPU.

      my main gripe with Ubuntu right now is the way they are forcing snaps into my system under the covers. if i wanted to install a snap, i would be using snap install instead of apt install. forcing a snap install when i use apt install is just total fuckery. fortunately i only have to use ubuntu at work; home is fedora and alma

      You just hit both of my points,

      1. Newer hardware has compatibility issues due to Ubuntu’s slower update cycle

      2.ubuntu doesn’t do anything particularly better than any other distro, the marketing pitch normally ends up being “we’re Linux, and we’ve done it a while” because there isn’t any feature that makes it stand out so they advertise on their stability which isn’t that much more pronounced in comparison to a fedora or debian based distro.

      What’s the problem with ubuntu?

      In general I wouldn’t say it has a problem, it does what it says it will do, it’s just that it’s distinct features are quickly becoming the standard or obsolete.
