    Just by how the documentation is written, you should understand who’s its target audience: it’s clearly for new users that want to understand their philosophy.
    Is it oversimplified? Yes.
    Does this mean it’s misinformation? If I can oversimplify, then no it’s not.

      It’s not oversimplified - it’s exaggerating to the point of misinformation, and it’s written more like a political screed than like documentation.

        I don’t see it that way but I’m not gonna argue, since I have no horse in this race. I’m not an ubuntu hater, I actually think it’s both a good gateway to the FOSS world and a good permanent solutions for those who don’t mind a corporate approach to linux. I just find it funny to take random punches at it once in a while…

          Humour at Ubuntu’s expense is fine, as long as it’s good natured and actually making valid criticisms about it. The problem is that low effort “lol ubuntu bad” memes don’t tend to be either of those. Moreover, documentation is not an appropriate place to make questionable political claims.

            I read your comment in my head with the voice of Gunnery Sergeant Hartman and made me laugh
