  • Wayland by default? Ubuntu has covered you.
  • GNOME by default DE? Ubuntu has covered you.
  • Snap by default and used everywhere? Ubuntu has covered you.
  • Rust through sudo replaced by sudo-rs by default? Ubuntu has covered you.
  • Popular and controlled by a corporation? Ubuntu has covered you.
  • Plus some historical stuff people did not forgot: Mir, Unity, Amazon data collection? Ubuntu has covered you.

Ubuntu has it all: The most important controversies in one package.

BTW this reply is more a joke than being serious. I'm not the biggest fan of Ubuntu (anymore), but I also used it straight 13 years since I started; so let me have me my opinion. Besides that, I make just fun of companies and not of the users. People should use what they like.

Is there a good alternative to Ubuntu that’s deployment ready for a small to medium business that doesn’t require paying for support like Red Hat? I don’t use it on my own machines, but when I’m working with clients it’s pretty much all I recommend. I could maybe be won over by Mint, but I’m still a little skeptical about the polish and reliability there.

KDE Neon has been working fine as my daily driver for the last two years, it's Ubuntu-based but has the latest KDE packages on top. Though I've heard KDE wants to phase it out in favour of their own distro
