Canonical, leading the charge towards enshittification of Linux. Who would’ve guessed this 20 years ago?
how long is the Amazon sponsoring ago? Was that 20 years?
Around then. I tried Ubuntu in 2011 maybe, and it opened to this Amazon app being stuck on desktop or something, and so I went back to Windows immediately.
Wasn’t till W10 enshitification that I tried Linux again.
Yeah, Canonical has been sketchy for a long time. And every now and then they make a move that just reminds me why I stay away from Ubuntu.
