   This is not ture and totally unfair! Ubuntu is friendly and stable and   
   usable, even in commercial. Canonical give you choice what desktop   
   flavor you want - this is also very friedndly - not all distros are made   
   that way. Canonical now support LTS relases for 12 years.   
      
   The problem with Canonical is that they don't respond to emails with   
   these questions:   
   - How many cost iso image download service per user?   
   - How many cost sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade per user per monht?   
   - How many donation do you expect from honest user? Please specify your   
   expectations per each workstation and per each server?   
   - What should I do to make a donation that will be fairly   
   separated/divided between Kubuntu, Canonical, and free software suppliers?
