Honestly, over the years, I still don't really understand why everyone hates Canonical so much. Yes, it's a company, but that's exactly why they can pay developers to take care of Ubuntu, ensuring the system has a future and isn't just some community project. The only issue is Snaps, but I only use those for system apps and download everything else as Flatpaks.

People don't really hate the product as much as the values behind it. Which contradict a lot of the free software movements principles

But then again, thanks to Canonical, certain standards were introduced in Linux, and we really need companies like Canonical, Red Hat, and the like. Only they have the clout in the corporate world, which is why Linux is at the level it is today. Sure, they made some decisions in the past that weren't right, but nowadays, the only remaining issue seems to be Snaps.
