There are a lot of different reasons that people hate Ubuntu. Most of them Not great reasons.
Ubuntu became popular by making desktop Linux approachable to normal people. Some of the abnormal people already using Linux hated this.
In November 2010, Ubuntu switched from GNOME as their default desktop to Unity. This made many users furious.
Then in 2017, Ubuntu switched from Unity to Gnome. This made many users furious.
There’s also a graveyard of products and services that infuriated users when canonical started them, then infuriated users when they discontinued them.
And the Amazon “scandal”.
And then there’s the telemetry stuff.
Meanwhile. Arch has always been the bad boy that dares you to love him… unapproachable and edgy.
