Why is ubuntu-server bad?

Question

linux

You can often see expressions that this is bad for an ubuntu server. The question is why exactly? Assuming that the server is used to host the web application. An app with no outliers, average stack, no huge workload, no unique security requirements, no huge financial risks.
On the plus side, it seems to me that, nevertheless, Ubuntu has a huge community (at least on the basic questions that arise during standard deployment: where are the configs stored, what versions of the packages are in the repositories ...). Plus, again subjectively, development is also very often carried out on ubuntu, and this can be a little help when the production environment exactly matches the development one.

Answer 1

1. Upstart, (although they switch to systemd, but so far upstart)
2. AppArmor (Additional security logic, sometimes leading to unpredictable results, just like SELinux)
3. Based on quite a lot of experience, less stable and more unpredictable than Debian
4. Changing the location of many directories and configuration files without the need
5. Disregard for many ideologies and standards
6. A lot of unnecessary logic and dubious functionality. It is enough to put logging of system calls and be horrified by what happens in Ubuntu without your knowledge.
In general, it deserves the same place to exist as other distributions, although the contribution is not as big as that of RH in the community. Shatwold pulls the blanket over himself, RH over himself, and by what is happening now it becomes clear that the invisible battle is lost. Systemd, developed by RH with Pottering, will reign supreme on most popular Linux distributions. (Debian, CentOS, Suse, Fedora, ArchLinux... and those derived from them). Other distributions already have dense systemd support (Gentoo for example). And if you get a little puzzled and see what systemd is now and what integration plans they have in the future - everything falls into place, who is in charge here completely change your init system to systemd.

Answer 2

Yes, in fact, no one kicks him, in the enterprise on the servers, the two main distras are actually ubunta and centos with redhat.
