&gt; Please stop using Ubuntu as your base images people!<p>I think Ubuntu images are a symptom of a much more serious disease: Ubuntu usage in general.  Ubuntu is not really concerned with software freedom (its origin was Debian-plus-proprietary-blobs), nor does it strongly care about privacy (although it can be shamed into doing the right thing), nor does it care terribly much about getting along with everyone else (c.f. Mir vs. Wayland).<p>As a distro for my family, it&#x27;s fine.  But I expect my fellow developers to run something which indicates more technological prowess than does Ubuntu: Debian or Arch or Gentoo or Slackware are all good choices for different reasons.
