I am forced to use Ubuntu 24.04 on my work laptop because that's the only Linux my company supports (and I refused to use a MacBook). Desktop experience is quite horrible and buggy compared to Fedora with up-to-date KDE Plasma on my own laptop. Quite unfortunate that both of the big players - Red Hat and Ubuntu default to GNOME. What is giving hope though that Valve made the correct choice for the Steam deck desktop mode.
