I would even argue as long as someone isn’t messing with a niche distro such as KDE Neon
KDE Neon is dead because its developers found out that putting an add-on repository on top of Ubuntu is not reliable at all. That’s why KDE Linux is now in development.
Is there a writeup about their problems with Ubuntu? Adding repositories to Debian and/or Ubuntu is how plenty of software is distributed, so I’m surprised to hear they’re unhappy with it.
Probably because you use a client that tries to open the link locally. OP deleted the post and that’s why Lemmy cannot open its comments any longer, hence the Mastodon link that works fine in a web browser.
Do you know which software it is that is/was in the universe repo?
Pretty much everything except the base OS and Gnome.

I used Neon for a while, discovered that KDE were letting it go, and switched to Kubuntu. I love Kubuntu.
Kubuntu comes with mandatory Ubuntu enshittification, though. All official Ubuntu flavors do.
I mean, yeah, sure. But I like it.
Try out fedora if you ever get tired of snaps and other bs.
Otherwise, if it works, good for you
Other than snaps, what else are they doing wrong?
Insecure software in the Universe repository.
That link comes up with an error. Do you know which software it is that is/was in the universe repo?
