Why don’t I like Ubuntu?

Ubuntu was the first Linux distribution I tried. As a major distribution, Ubuntu has a wealth of software, great community support, and a friendly and easy-to-use desktop environment. It’s no exaggeration to say that Ubuntu opened the door to the Linux world for me.

Once I was familiar with the basics of Linux, HOWEVER, I abandoned Ubuntu and moved on to other distributions. Now that I have to use Ubuntu again, THERE are still a lot of annoying things that make me think I was wise to give up Ubuntu.

What did Ubuntu put me through? Why don’t I like Ubuntu?

  1. The Ubuntu desktop has inexplicable bugs. After so many years, desktop system glitches are still constant. If you cannot log in to the system from time to time after the system is started, you can enter the password and return to the login page. Once logged in, the icon is missing occasionally, or the sidebar menu is missing, restart or reinstall the software package to solve the problem. I can’t stand it as a serverxrdpRemote desktop services often inexplicably black screen, online a bunch of people ridicule there is no thorough effective solution. While I’ve moved away from desktop environments, solving other people’s problems still drives me crazy;
  2. Ubuntu root looks like fake root. Five or six years ago ON Ubuntu I noticed that some commands didn’t work well with root and I felt like I wasn’t getting privileges. Today it was confirmed that systemCTL can’t use XRDP directlypsaddpkillTo solve. I’m sure XRDP isn’t the only one with problems, because it wasn’t XRDP that made me suspect root privileges years ago (though I can’t remember exactly what).
  3. There is always a feeling of instability. I teased it the other day,The Ubuntu ls command is stuckThis is the first time this has happened with Linux. I’m a 12-core 48GB machine, so why does running Ubuntu make me feel stuck or unstable? Sometimes the card makes me suspect that the hard disk is about to break, and sometimes it feels normal. Not long agodo-release-upgradeUpgrading to a new system caused me to crash and end up having to reinstall it, which is not exactly how a mature system should operate.

I have never been able to trust Ubuntu with such bad experiences. After that, I switched to CentOS, which is known for its stability. After so many years of using CentOS, I enjoyed the stability and strength of enterprise operating system.

Although I still feel bad about going back to Ubuntu, I’m grateful that it opened me up to a new world and made me realize that there are cooler operating systems out there.
