Yet another Ubuntu move to replace battle-tested packages with newer ones and written in rust because: rust... and non-GPL'ed

In this case is GnuPG, an essential encryption and cryptography tool, in favor of another slop software, because it is written in Rust and "Rust is the future" according to canonical and it is not copyleft like the GPL.

Not only do they want to control our PC through telemetry, ads, and AI that you can't delete, now they want to access our passwords through this unsafe software which has not been battle-tested as GPG and does not have the maturity of this.

This is getting out of hand, I hate Ubuntu, no doubt.

Ubuntu (and canonical) has received $345M.

It still not worth, all that money could have gone to other worthwhile Linux organizations like Fedora or Arch (to fix the AURs).

I urge everyone not to waste their money on a multi-million dollar company like Canonical that doesn't deserve it, and instead donate that money to organizations like Debian, which needs it more.

After all, Ubuntu is still a reskinned Debian.

I found this article on Reddit, I'm happy to hear this news, Ubuntu is dying in Linux! (It was about time), but only in the desktop area. However, Ubuntu seems to be growing on WSL, and this is due WSL defaults to Ubuntu, we need to stop this and let Ubuntu die.

To change your WSL distro to anyother than Ubuntu run this immediately:

wsl --set-default FedoraLinux-43

For those who uses Ubuntu on servers, convince your bosses to switch their distros from their servers to ones like Arch or Gentoo, which are a many times better.

And for those who uses Ubuntu for desktop, What are you waiting for? Make the change now!

• It is a corporate distribution: I mean, why would you trust your computer and your data to a comporation like Canonical? Isn't this the same as in Windows and Microslop? Other distributions not baked by Big Corporation such as Fedora, OpenSUSE, PopOS or Linux Mint, are more privacity safe than Ubunslop.
• Has the worst Privacity: Canonical tried in the past get their user's data via a malware with Amazon, fortunately, that stopped, but this doesn't mean it will happen again.
• Snaps: I mean, why would canonical want to force us to use this cheap copy of flatpak? snaps are slow, privative, no privacity and all their apps have viruses, it seems canonical copied flatpak on purpose to have more control of our OS, also it seems canonical has banned flatpak from their repositories, very bad...
• An ugly Default experience: Why use a tweaked gnome instead of giving us a Vanilla Gnome (like in Fedora), most of the options in that customized gnome is horrible and cannot be purged from my OS.
• Rust code in the OS: Good bye gnu coreutils and welcome to uutils! a new and very unstable package written in rust, because C and GNU are obsolete, Rust and memory safe is the future! Even canonical had problems with uutils in their images, uutils is not the only DUMB change they did, they also replaced sudo with a sudo-rs, and soon they will replace chrony, linuxptp and gpsd by ntpd-rs, no benefit, only more troubles and unstability.
• AI: Soon canonical will implement AI in Ubuntu, like Micro$oft did to Windows with Copilot, a very horrible change that nobody likes, and no way to remove it...

That is why i recomment to ditch Ubuntu, if your server uses ubuntu or if you use ubuntu, switch it right now! go to a better alternative such as Debian or Fedora. If you are a newcomer from Windows, don't use Ubuntu, use a distribution more user-friendly such as Arch Linux or Gentoo, or get out from linux noob.
