It was also fairly easy to disable

Ehh... not at first. That was a later release.

[-] superkret@feddit.org 2 points 6 days ago

It was just a package you could uninstall.

Yes, and I don't consider that an "easy to disable" option for regular users, but that's just my opinion.

"Easy to disable" is also the wrong approach, IMO. It should have been "easy to enable" - stuff like this should always be opt-in, not opt-out. Opt-out, to me, demonstrates a company's motivations more than anything else.

I chose the hard way to disable it back then, and switched to Debian.

Yup, debian is where I was before Ubuntu, and where I went back to. Still what I run mostly, plus a few different flavors of it (proxmox for example).

Though I'm also running an arch desktop on one of my play machines, kind of reminds me of having to write my x conf out in the 90s! Not bad overall.

(Never giving up my deb stable servers though!)

Ohhh I probably disabled it right away and then forgot about it.
