Ubuntu new version, when to update.

Hello everybody:

Some of you, have asked me about what are the new features added by the new Ubuntu versión and how useful is to update it or not.

Imstead of this, I gonna tell you why you never should install it:

Not everything is good when we talk about Ubuntu. Although it is the most widely used desktop distro in the world, it really is the  Linux minus Linux that we can find. 

The first thing we must take into account is that behind its development is Canonical, a profit-seeking company that, for a long time, has been more concerned with its income than with its user community, something that was unthinkable a long time ago. .

Ubuntu is always in the tail because, unlike other systems, it never has the latest versions of packages or programs. Not even from the kernel, since it always arrives with an older version. In addition, Canonical includes closed source packages in its distro, something that is not very much in line with the Linux philosophy either.

Finally, we can’t forget about the  9-month support for each version . Unless we use an LTS, where we have 5 years of support, all other versions of Ubuntu, which come out every 6 months, have only 9 months of support (including this new 23.04). This forces users to update to new versions every 6 months, something that we know very well often causes many problems.

But never forget that Ubuntu is not a puré linux

Ubuntu is a Linux-based operating system and is considered to be one of the most popular distributions of Linux. It is developed and maintained by Canonical Ltd. While it is true that Ubuntu is not a “pure” Linux distribution in the sense that it includes some non-free software and drivers, it is still considered to be a Linux distribution.

Ubuntu includes some proprietary software and drivers, such as some drivers for graphics cards and Wi-Fi adapters. However, Ubuntu is still built on top of the Linux kernel and uses the GNU userland tools and libraries, which are the core components of a Linux distribution.

The use of proprietary software and drivers is a matter of debate within the Linux community, but it does not change the fact that Ubuntu is a Linux-based operating system.
