Ubuntu gives the users what they want. This means you get more up-to date software. This is very bad because it means the updates aren’t tested thoroughly. Ubuntu desktop and Ubuntu server are based on Debian’s “unstable” and “testing” branches respectively.
Is Ubuntu really that bad?
Ubuntu is not bad. I’ve been using Ubuntu for 13 years, after a dozen years of Slackware, Red Hat, SUSE, Fedora, Cent. OS and a smattering of others: Puppy, Knoppix, Mandrake, etc, plus being a professional sysadmin/developer on RHEL and the *real* “big iron” Unix systems: Solaris, Tru-64, and SVR4.
So these are the main reasons why Ubuntu is getting so much hate online. As always, haters are more vocal than people who happily enjoy using it, and that’s why we see more negativity than positive feedback. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and if you don’t like Ubuntu, fine, it’s your choice, and you don’t have to use it.
Some major plus points that Ubuntu has over Windows are its near immunity towards malware/virus, good battery performance, lower hardware requirements, negligible performance degradation over time and a more stable system uptime.
Why is Ubuntu so slow on my computer?
Otherwise if everything is just consistently slow or choppy, it could be your CPU being down-clocked and frequency scaling is not working. If you have Intel CPU and are using regular Ubuntu ( Gnome) and want a user-friendly way to check CPU speed and adjust it, and even set it to auto-scale based on being plugged vs battery, try CPU Power Manager .
The likely problem is that the embedded GPU on the Raspberry Pi isn’t supported by any of the drivers in Ubuntu.
The Micro SD card used is a Samsung 32GB PRO Class 10. However the Raspberry Pi still feels sluggish with.
You want to be running the armhf/ARMv7 32-bit system for the Pi 3B+ while it is still technically a beta release it is a very solid release, which is what you appear to be running from your post. What you are experience is not unusual. The Pi3B+ still only has 1gb of memory and opening multiple tabs in Firefox will result in a slow-down.
Are bash and ubuntu the same?
No, they are not the same, and yes, linux shell programming books should have significant portions or be entirely about bash scripting. Ubuntu is a distribution of linux which contains bash as an available shell. When you open a terminal in Ubuntu, you’re opening a screen that emulates a display with a certain number of rows and columns.
While I was researching we ran into the inquiry “What is the difference between Ubuntu and Linux command line?”.
In Ubuntu the command line is managed by bash, the Bourne Again SHell, unless you change the default. Its syntax is the same on every linux box, apart from version differences. It is different if we talk about the system tools, that can have some little or big differences, for example in the field of package management. Show activity on this post.
Technically Linux is not a shell but in fact the kernel, but many different shells can run on top of it (bash, tcsh, pdksh, etc.). Bash just happens to be the most common one.

The git bash vs the Ubuntu bash. Basically there is nothing much different except maybe the versions of the bash . Because bash is bash. It’s most likely different versions of bash were installed at different times for different purposes on the PC. And they will also likely be found in different folders on the PC.
Is it safe to install antivirus on Ubuntu?
If you are going to be sharing files with Windows users, you may be safe from Windows specific malware, but they are still vulnerable, hence there are antivirus software available on Ubuntu. Note, that there also exists malware for Linux but there’s not a lot of it.
Does the RPI and Ubuntu MATE consume a lot of memory?
If we try to use the RPi and Ubuntu Mate as a ‘normal’ computer, logical that the memory saturates quickly especially with Internet pages more and more dense. I realized that it was difficult to do this kind of experiment, to want to build a computer with very low consumption without having some problems.
