Opinion HN: Canonical has turned Ubuntu in a scam

8 points by 1letterunixname ↗ HN
The deceptive part is they fail to explain to users that they're running unpatched systems containing vulnerabilities. If they want to be Redhat, then they should stop distributing crippled, insecure software with gotcha marketing tactics and go closed. They're not FLOSS anymore, they're a commercial fork of Debian that average users should not use.

If you want a patched desktop OS, run CentOS, not Fedora unless you enjoy everything change all off the time.

And if you want a reliable commercial server OS on enterprise servers for important things that doesn't make drastic changes with every release, pay for RHEL.

If you want a free OS that has basically every package imaginable, there's Debian, Arch, and Slackware.
