Ubuntu is mostly fine and a good middle ground for new users between bleeding edge (Arch, Fedora) and outdated software (Debian) IMHO. It's also probably the best place to start simply because of the mountains of documentation that exist for it because of its large userbase.
I would also like to add that often you'll find answers to stuff telling you to use a couple of commands when instead you could use existing gui tools. That might be because commands are faster for people that already know them, but often they're not the only way.

- pmontra 3y agoInstructions like type "this and that" in a terminal are short and perfectly reproducible. Instructions like open Settings, find This, click that" are less precise and could leave people stuck halfway. Even on Windows forums there are often NET USE or Powershell commands mixed with instructions to perform the same task using GUI apps.
