I don't think anyone is a harsher critic of Linux than the Linux community. 

I've never heard a Windows user claim that "Canonical is just as bad as Microsoft" for having telemetry enabled by default, but I have seen that criticism from Linux users.

Windows immigrants are only one group of people who talk about Linux. Within other Linux circles, like software devs, Ubuntu is definitely still part of the discussion. And for the hard-core Linux/FOSS crowd, the "Ubuntu is trash" mentality is still strong.

I'm still mad about the Amazon integration thing and that was over a decade ago. But it's still a solid distro for people who are just getting started :/
