    It’s used often by novices, because outdated articles keep telling them it’s “the best Linux distro”. Canonical has gotten very corporate over the last several years, forcing things like snap onto users. Ubuntu used to be the number one user friendly distro, now they shove ads in the terminal. It’s not getting hate for being easy to use, it’s getting hate for marketing itself as such, then forcing corporate bs on the user (who are often new to Linux). Many other user-friendly distros have not seen the same amount of hate, because they aren’t objectively bad.

      Oh man, is this true? Last time I daily drove Ubuntu was like 10 years ago. Ubuntu stood for the “it just works” of Linux. That’s so sad they’ve fallen so far.

      I guess I’ll wait until Valve rolls a desktop OS.
