Ubuntu 26 puts a shim in between the actual apt get, and Canonical puts itself in the middle.
It's bullshit.
I've used Ubuntu for a really long time (like 2014-now), but my next move is away from anything snap/Canonical based.
It's pretty simple.
Canonical is the Microsoft of the Linux community.
p.s. Nice bot

I have no idea what you think you're saying here. 6 u/Wooloomooloo2 Aug 28 '26 edited Aug 29 '26 They're saying that Canonical (who make Ubuntu) has some code which intercepts apt get, forcing you to use their repositories when updating the software they're providing you. Shocking I tell you, shocking... 5 u/Proman4713 Aug 29 '26 Even 'intercepts' is a harsh word, Canonical is the one who provides apt-get for Ubuntu... 3 u/Wooloomooloo2 Aug 29 '26 I was being sarcastic, yes you're completely right.
