Same. I’ve always added Ubuntu to my list of “where to start Linux” with a suggestion to move on once you get comfortable with how Linux works, but I think I’ll be removing it completely from my recommendations.
I was mostly annoyed at the constant ads for their support in my server every time I logged in, so I moved over to Debian on that. Desktop was changed later on to fedora/opensuse for some reason.
Dear gods, the comments in the linked Hacker News thread too. Was happy enough to avoid Ubuntu for snaps, now I’m even more relieved

Ubintu was relevant ten years ago, when they packaged proprietary drivers which were absent from other distributions.
Nowadays you just use Debian and don’t bother with Canonical shit.
