    I miss the days of Ubuntu being a new upstart and Mark Shuttleworth going into space and being cool. I was involved with the project a bunch back then and even talked to him briefly once online.

    There’s been a lot of poor decisions honestly since then unfortunately and I haven’t used Ubuntu in a while.

      I made the switch to Mint (and Windows) a while ago, but I still use Ubuntu for stupid little IOT projects. I should probably learn how to build my own with Yocto, maybe that’ll be a future project. BalenaOS is great for quick a dirty stuff but Balena collects A LOT of telemetry from your system and it’s only a matter of time until they sell that data or lose it in a breach. It’s hard to give up what I’m comfortable with sometimes.
