Lol, Reddit has nothing to do with ubuntu just being crap.
But as snap lover.. I see all hope is lost in you.

Bah. Me, I've been using Debian since 1997. I've tried Ubuntu (and, what was it called, Progeny?) a few times but decided it was just Debian with extra steps.
ubuntu is an excellent base, but there's no reason to use it over other distros based on it. it does nothing better than others and forces snaps on you to the point of not even having flatpak installed by default unlike almost every other distro that is even remotely modern.
Meh, I tend to install snap on the non-Ubuntu distros I use. I also think it does a lot of things better, namely "not making me think about my OS when I don't want to." Of course, Kubuntu does that better than Ubuntu does.
I was no fan of Ubuntu. It made me think about the OS nonstop.
Why is Firefox taking like 8 seconds to load the first time I run it? Much slower than Windows.
Why do all of my PPA packages break for months straight after a major OS update?
Why is my CPU using 100% of a core when I connect my Xbox controller? Turns out that was a bug in libusb that had been fixed OVER A YEAR AGO but Ubuntu's packages were so terribly out of date I couldn't have the fix yet. That was the last straw.
Moved to OpenSUSE and never looked back. My system is basically pristine now.
The other four distros they use are Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Gobuntu and Mythbuntu.
Nothing wrong with Ubuntu.
Plenty wrong with Ubuntu.
If you use it wrong, sure. There's a use for almost anything; just gotta figure out what's appropriate.
Ubuntu is perfect for my non-technical, 76 year old father to run his own plex server where I don't have to help too much.
I don't love Ubuntu as a desktop, but i'll fight to let other people try it and make up their own minds.
We have rather substantial tribe mind going on with anti AI, linux distros that suck, and which browsers are awful.
We've had hivemind since forever, but it's starting to get more pronounced.
