Ubuntu is Not Linux
I was one of the first users of Ubuntu
Ubuntu is an African word
The African word was exploited by a South African
This South African abandoned South Africa
South Africa was left by him to chase a tax haven
The tax haven was deemed to have facilitated the man's evasion of tax, based on a relevant court in the country he left
He was a Debian Developer
Which means he brain-drained Debian and poached Debian Developers to make his own company
This new company was Debian with a skin and half-naked people on CDs (and their cover) to sell it better and/or to market is to young people
After he had sold his company (built on Free software) for a lot of money and flew to space with Russians
Many Debian Developers would become "Ubuntu" Developers
They would ship CDs at the expense of the rich daddy (who had sold his company to America for vendor lock-in)
Ubuntu would become humanity for Microsoft because Azure was "exciting" and reselling for Microsoft was more profitable
Ubuntu - like Debian - was not Linux
Debian did not depend on Linux, it supported other kernels
Ubuntu did, however, integrate GNU
Debian Developers left Ubuntu and over time less qualified people were hired
Then Ubuntu was managed by a former Microsoft employee (Spencer)
Later even a British spy
Despite a lack of experience and proven track record, he decided to replace GNU and many other things with experimental Microsoft GitHub 'hobbies' and their non-reciprocal licence (shoehorning E.E.E. by integrating the same into Windows shortly later)
Long gone are the Debian Developers
Even Mr. founder (Ubuntu, Canonical) abandoned his long-held Debian Developer status
Now the company, run by spies and various unrelated figures, would say "you don't understand business" while it does foolish things that alienate the original userbase (hi!)
Debian is still around by the way █
