It was nice knowing Raspberry Pi while they lasted. Going to suck losing something that has changed the homegrown embedded system hobby forever.

Ubuntu (or Canonical, their parent company) has gotten more pushy with their paid service. Personally for me, I'm moving off of Ubuntu to Debian pure systems or Arch because when I ssh to my Ubuntu file server, the MOTD tells me I can pay for some kind of premium service and get 35 additional security updates. So, that's it. That's my line in the sand. Don't advertise to me on my terminal

(And then there's all the shit about Snap being installed by default, and I'm just at a point where I only want installed what I want installed, etc)

But you do you man. If Ubuntu works great for you, stick with it. You may change your mind later down the road, you may not. As long as you're happy with it right now that all that matters.

Thank you for the great answer! Yeah, works well for now, but I agree with all your points. Gonna check out Debian!
