   Why not? What I love about Linux is we can criticize, and criticism has   
   resulted in changes in the OS. "And that's a good thing" TM   
      
   In opposition to those "other" OSes where users be dammed, You get what   
   we tell you what you can have. I am sure getting ads foisted upon you   
   with "PRO" versions, or content "telemetry" streams was what every user   
   wanted. Right?   
      
   I first dabbled with RedHat 5.2 Apollo but didn't build a consistent   
   running server until RedHat 7.x Guinness when I got an error free CD in   
   a Dummy's book. Switch to Mandrake (predates the Mandriva name change I   
   cannot remember the version I started, but it was definitely a step up   
   from RedHat) Switched to Ubuntu with 7.04 Feisty Fawn which was world   
   better experience. I sure preferred the Debian way of modularized config   
   files. Sure made system admin efficient. Reluctantly getting used to   
   systemd, but still find it more difficult to debug when services go   
   sideways.. Then snaps...dang I wish snaps would die. Although I have to   
   admit on my laptops that improvements to snaps have dramatically   
   improved performance. Then netplan...Yet-Another-Language-To-Learn. Well   
   I figured out how to deploy that in a modular fashion. Now apt sources   
   have changed. I guess I am just getting grumpy as I have gotten old. But   
   some of this seems to be change for change sake. We shall see.
