Things that you dislike in Ubuntu

[Skaperen]

the thing i hate most about Ubuntu is the lack of a release time machine. i hate having to wait until 2020 to install 20.04 LTS.

I know VLC, Thunderbird, and a few others have two listings in the store. One for Snap and one for Deb. The installer shouldn't install both unless you tell it to. I was going to mention Firefox, but it looks like the deb version of it has been removed from Software. Software doesn't even show I have Firefox installed, because I have the deb.

I think it's this old bug

Xubuntu doesn't ship with Synaptic installed. I have to install it myself via the terminal. It's sooooo much easier than the software store, and it's all debs, nice 'n' safe.

I prefer Synaptic, too. It gets things done.

Thanks! I've marked that it affects me.

I hate that upstart was abandoned. It was a good backup init and I'm neither certain about its future (which looks bleak if it has one at all) or who to ask. I don't expect Canonical to maintain it per se, but I wish there was an effort to keep it in the repos.

This affects distros I work on, which are based on Ubuntu. If Ubuntu included more init packages from upstream, that would also work. Don't ask me why they would (I don't even know why upstart was really needed in the first place, but I make use of it now.)
