Well good news… you don’t have to removeding answer to stockholders. That’s a removeding lie perpetrated by Harvard Business sociopaths and their bootlicking bitchboys.
All you have to do is what’s in the best interest of the business. If someone doesn’t like it they can sell the removeding stock.

But I thought the open nature of open source meant it was safe because someone has checked all code everywhere!
This removed has become tedious.

Only in Linux Land would “daily desktop tips” include “REINSTALL YOUR ENTIRE SYSTEM FOR SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT FEATURES.”
Unless you’re Ubuntu, apparently.

I’m sorry, are we talking about removed that users do or are we talking about masturbatory sysadmin jizzcup filler? Because it seems like you’re not paying attention to the conversation, which is that Ubuntu doesn’t even let users install .deb packages through the removeding package manager.
“Provided you choose the right distro.”
Yeah. Windows or MacOS if you actually want to do removed.
EDIT
Just wanted to mention, I’ve never had an issue with Windows or MacOS that wasn’t directly caused by my own personal removedery. Somehow though, I’ve had multiple Linux distro installs decide to hose themselves because they didn’t update through the precious removeding package manager properly. You know, the thing that everyone is now removedting on users for not using?
The most fun one was whenever a Debian update decided that the right thing to do was move my primary drive into a subfolder in /etc. Yeah. That removeding happened.
Goalpost moving removed.
Not there to make a profit? Then why the removed do all of the major distros have donation pages, and shops, and foundations, and all of the other things that generate money for a handful of people? Stop removeding acting like mainstream Linux distros are still Slackware equivalent one-man operations. That’s horseremoved and you removeding know it.
Those repos are nowhere near vast as removed. It’s trivial to find software that isn’t one or more of them, and quite often what is there isn’t remotely a recent version.
Removing the ability to install .debs is literally limiting user choice and walling things off so the user doesn’t hurt themselves, the same removed that every removeding Linux knob has been squealing about Windows and MacOS doing for decades.
Can you do that with Windows or MacOS?
Yes, I can in fact download programs that aren’t on the Windows or Mac app stores. Are you even paying attention here?
Yes, by the removed-tier decisions of the distro developers.
UBUNTU IS A PRODUCT. IT MAKES PROFIT. MARKET SHARE IS HOW THEY MAKE MONEY FOR DEVELOPMENT.
Or did you not even bother reading the removeding headline?
Or were you too busy moving the goalposts to even do that?
“Oh look, this software isn’t available in the selection that Fedora/Ubuntu/Mint/whatever decided I should have. I guess I can’t install it despite the fact that there are compatible packages for my distro.”
Yeah right. Walled garden horseremoved. Linux apologists do anything they can to move goalposts, to the point where using it is removeding impossible if you actually listen to every asshole’s personal opinion.
If you can’t adapt to the user’s behavior YOU are in the wrong. End of removeding story.
And seriously, you’re using an app store to illustrate why limiting user choice is good. What the actual removed are you doing on a Linux sub anyway?
Something that worked last week now does not work.
System issue. Suck less removed at systems and maybe people in general would give a removed about Linux.
The “inferior way” being precisely the kind of walled garden Linux apologist types typically removed their pants and smear in on their faces about. But it’s fine because it’s UBUNTU’s walled garden! Can’t be using anything Ubuntu doesn’t allow!
A dozen incompatible distribution standards, with removed not even compiled for most of them, relying on the distro for updates that can run several versions behind because the newest version isn’t compatible with THEIR ecosystem…
But App Store bad. Windows Store bad. Play Store bad.
Piss on that hypocrisy.
In other words, you’ve seen removeded up systems because people treat their Linux system like literally every non-Linux system they’ve used.
Which is a Linux problem, not a user problem.
The lobbying must be intense.
The Sackler family, the removedbags most directly responsible for the opioid epidemic in the US, were handed a sweetheart settlement deal where they had to hand over a small percentage of their multi-billion dollar fortunes and in return they were SHIELDED FROM PROSECUTION on any related charges or civil suits.
Luckily even our removedbag Supreme Court could see what utter scumremoved horseremoved that was and tossed the deal out the window and into a garbage bin where it belonged.
And yet that’s how it works, because business is not a linear thing. Do you have any idea how long “MUXEMOOSE PROOFITS!!!” types have been whining about the price of Costco’s hot dog?
