I think part of the problem is that many newish users equate Linux with Ubuntu, good and bad. There are many other options and Ubuntu should not be the default anymore.
- zdragnar 6y agoYou aren't wrong, but I hate to say it... there are a lot of things that Ubuntu got right, and generally speaking derivatives of Ubuntu almost always work without any extra fiddling or driver hunting for me. An experienced user could probably find a nicely tuned arch / manjaro setup to work better for them than Ubuntu, but if someone is just first getting their toes wet and learning, Ubuntu isn't a bad recommendation for a first go-round.
- eloff 6y agoI've tried several Linux distros, but always go back to Ubuntu as it tends to work with the least fuss. Still a lot of fuss compared to Windows and Mac for desktop software, but less for development, so it balances out. Ubuntu 20.04 is super snappy (catch the pun?) and really has been working well for me. I strongly recommend it. It feels like a new computer.
- RMPR 6y agoMy experience is the exact opposite, I recently built a desktop, the motherboard is ASUS ROG STRIX Z390 GAMING, despite all my efforts, Ubuntu wasn't able to even boot, While Fedora not only booted, but was "super snappy"
