Ubuntu used to be known as one of the easiest-to-use, stable, beginner-friendly Linux distributions. Despite past controversies over things like the Unity desktop and Ubuntu's Amazon search results, Ubuntu has always been a reliable platform you could depend on and even build on. That started to change, not with the introduction of Snaps in 2016, but in 2019 with the transitional packages that moved deb packages to Snap for apps like Chromium and Firefox. Since then, Ubuntu has started adding Rust tools to replace sudo and GNU Coreutils, and shipping bleeding-edge kernels in its LTS releases. Is Ubuntu really the stable and reliable platform it once was to build off of?
