A rough translation of the principle of Ubuntu is "humanity towards others". Another translation could be: "the belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity".

how will I be able to comment “Ubuntu bad” in every thread and feel like a genius for not using “normie” distros?

Ubuntu Dash including Amazon ads not too long ago; it was not pretty, security-wise.
The whole fiasco behind Unity and Mir, and Canonical’s propensity to reinvent the wheel at home.
Snap. Anything [wait… wait… wait…] Snap.

That said this is usually fixed by upgrading it into Mint, and Mint is pretty much a “normie” distro, so you don’t need to go out of your way to install Gentoo or say “I use Arch BTW”.

EDIT: in other words there’s enough shit to throw at Ubuntu, we (people in general) don’t need to make it up like OP is doing.

I agree with all three. I always removed (not too long ago) all those lenses with apt, install whatever display server I want with apt and use apt to remove all traces of snap. I still use it, though. For dudes using gnu/linux at home Ubuntu is just Debian without the drama.

That’s what I did, too - it isn’t like there is no choice within Ubuntu. We could still use it to manufacture some outrage towards Ubuntu, and feel like a genius for using another distro; it would be silly but not completely irrational… unlike using Ubuntu Pro for that, the later is just witch hunting.
