  1. In our defense, we developed a strong passion for bicycles and bicycle storage.

  2. My hottest "change my mind" take: the Windows 11 desktop environment is a blatant ripoff of Ubuntu 16.10 / Unity 8 + Mir.

  3. I can't think of a single decision Ubuntu has been on the right side of in the last decade (and I'm being charitable). They threw a lot of money into making Linux accessible to the mainstream—and they deserve credit for it—and their "our way or the highway" attitude is certainly less bad than the "Infinite bikeshedding" we've seen across Linux generally, but... they're kinda like the Tesla Cybertruck: 1. Generated a lot of hype about workhorse EVs 2. Made some godawful design decisions that everyone who had been around longer would have told them not to do 3. Constantly getting stuck in ditches (and forced to get a tow from Ford—Debian in this analogy) 4. Even with all the failures, still gets waay more attention than it should

  4. I remember Upstart!! It's a huge reason I was happy to switch to systemd—because it couldn't be worse than Upstart!

  5. ​ @Daktyl198 I remember people complaining loudly about sysvinit, but it always worked fine for me... Bear in mind this was 2008, and my neckbeard hadn't even started growing in yet.
