I must have mistakenly given the impression that I’m a fanatic, or that I care about what other users (like yourself) use. I really don’t. To the extent that I care, it’s only because Ubuntu is a headache to me, even though I don’t use it. My problem with this conversation is that you keep asking (or more accurately, challenging) me to provide you with specific details, then when I do, you pretend like I’m trying to convince you not to use Ubuntu.
I’ve given you the reasons why I and other software developers don’t like Ubuntu and what you can get from other distros that you can’t get from Ubuntu, because you asked me to provide those details. I completely understand why those details don’t matter to you, because I’m assuming you’ve not experienced their negative effects. You asked me for details, and I figured that was because you wanted to learn someone else’s perspective. I apologize for the misunderstanding.
So no details just a vague dislike.
Take any topic about anything and you can find people who dislike it. You have given no details and only offered generalizations while never mentioning any other distros problems. Absolutely nothing I could go look at and confirm. I'm sure it seem definitive to you but the rest of us want something other than opinion. Specific doesn't mean the same thing to the rest of us.
Good day.
Serious question. Have you read anything I’ve said?
