Ubuntu Saga

Ubuntu Saga

It looks like developers especially Debian Gnome is shunning Wayland compositor which is Ubuntu based. The way Ubuntu stranded Wayland development was the beginning of the Ubuntu Saga.

I have not used Ubuntu on a regular basis, simply because, I entered Linux long before Ubuntu.

However, I have tested it many a times.

It had the best WiFi configuration utility and GRUB boot loader.

What I did not like was it uses root as a default which was ridiculous to a regular Linux user.

Second reason is it uses only one /root partition, even though one can define the partition on installation.

I had a feeling one day it becomes commercial long before it was.

The SAGA begins there.

There is no proper leader or leading principles but the glossy appearance, just like in KDE development.

Looks can be impressive but deceptive. What is important is what is underneath or under the hood.

Ubuntu is buggy underneath.

Entry into commercial environment make less reliable for common use. Ubuntu seems to leave the vulnerable pieces intact so the customer has to pay for any advice.

That is against Linux Principles.

Linux Principle is to get it right first time round.

All the Linux distributions that used Ubuntu as a base and not Gnome of Debian would get stranded which includes;

Tuxedos Linux

Pop OS

Zorin OS

Linux Mint

Linux Light

Elementary OS

Purely Debian Based are only MX Linux and Kali Linux.

I never recommend Kali Linux to anybody, but argue for Parrot OS which is MATE based.

One should  understand why I have copy of MX Linux (many other reasons) always in my NUC.

I am still waiting for its Debian Trixie version.
