I always remember the first day I was excited to try ubuntu when I first joined college. And how the old interface was so exciting for me that I thought finally something that helps me away from paid software (That was my focus in the time)! How the first video of African people explaining what ubuntu meant! All of this was something that moved me that humanity is something.
From there, and along the years, I have witnessed many changes. The first reason for me to look at another distro was when they introduced Unity DE. While it was nice I was just thinking I just got here and was happy with Gnome as it was! After that many other things changed! I had even to work at places that run windows, but I had always a distro on my laptop or at least on my usb stick!
The thing is after seeing ubuntu changing many things and trying to compete, make alliances, I still miss it being my main distro with many things that are just different than why I loved ubuntu in the first place.
Now I see that I might not use ubuntu on my laptop, but as I am thinking about google removing the developers settings for android soon. Maybe it is time for a truly free distro to take back my freedom to my phone too. And I was looking at it, ubuntu touch could be a good alternative! Especially with ubuntu pushing snaps and the snaps store as the main application installing method. Maybe it is already ready to become the alternative for phones?
