I dont mean to kick anybody, but Ubuntu is the worst of all the big name distros imo. What is its purpose? It got its lunch ate by everything and even back in the dsy slapping Debian on anything I had running Ubuntu immediately made it better.
I use Ubuntu for ease of use. Kubuntu is my flavor of choice. It just works for me so I don’t really have a reason to switch.
After my previous foray into Linux, I really didn't want to spend a lot of time fucking around with drivers trying to get all my components to work. Ubuntu and its derivatives were about the only things that had my network card and my audio card work out of the box, and while I might be willing to spend some time getting audio working, I am absolutely not going to use a second computer to get networking working on the first.
I agree. Ubuntu gets dunked on a lot, but I am happy with it. If it works for you, run it.
I put my dad on Kubuntu because it's the "normie distro" and I already use KDE on my arch boxes. I have not yet had to support it and it's been a year 🤞🤞
It’s such a chill experience. I use it for gaming and to run my Plex server. It literally never gives me problems.
