I’ve been using Ubuntu for years with no desire to switch or learn more. I’ve heard the comments about canonical and snaps, which I barely comprehend. But there’s a chance one day I’ll grow an interest in what you’re talking about, and I know you’ll be there to explain it.
I still think it’s a decent entry choice. I won’t touch it myself anymore, personally, but Canonical is still better than Microslop. That bar is set so low that even snap can clear it.
I say better for them to make the jump now to Ubuntu and figure out a distro better suited for their needs later on than to remain on Windows while having choice paralysis about what distro to chose.
“my friend recommended I use Ubuntu”
me (screaming internally, about canonical, about snaps, about bloat): “That… that’s good. Good choice.”
