Linux Blog

The title may sound bit misleading, because Ubuntu is based on Debian and that’s why it is a part of Linux-family, but I would like to draw the attention to the (degeneration) development of this popular operating system. In my opinion, it is going to the wrong direction.
Someone said that a Unix system was developed by programmers and for programmers. This thesis is still topical. The administration of a computer running on Unix-based operating system requires some expertise. It could be purchased by studying of the manuals and a time investment in practice.
Linux offers a stability and flexibility and cost advantages (most Linux systems are under GNU / GPL and are often free), it’s no wonder that the system is also used for private purposes.
Ubuntu is an attempt to make from a complex and powerful operating system an user-friendly environment that is free for all. The brilliant idea, I think, only the implementation is in my opinion gone too far. This problem is not confined to Ubuntu, but also depends directly with GNOME. The combination of Ubuntu and GNOME makes the use of the operating system simpler, but restricts the functionality significantly. Sometimes I think that the developers think about a potential users that they are stupid. Instead of integrating of new features into the system, they work on the integration of Compiz. I always thought that the only way to compete with Windows, is to develop a stable, flexible and functional system, but what I see is they are trying to copy a look and feel of Windows.
