This is an Ubuntu special I take it?

An Ubuntu special that messes with things it has no right to mess
with?

I tried Ubuntu once.  I think I lasted about a day before I decided
that it made things way too hard.

I just wanted to compile something.  Just finding the libraries I
needed took hours.  

Heaps of people bash RedHat/Fedora, and I usually figure I like it
because I am used to it as I've been using it since the choices were
that or Slack and I wanted a change from Slack.  But the more I hear
about Ubuntu the more I think that maybe it's not just that...
