Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! It’s gonna be so much fun! We can do each others hair and talk about our favourite distros!
Internally: “YESYESYESYESYESYESYES”
Externally: “Cool, let me know if you need any help”
“my friend recommended I use Ubuntu”
me (screaming internally, about canonical, about snaps, about bloat): “That… that’s good. Good choice.”
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.
