The thing about Ubuntu that kills me (as a user of it) is the other users who comment on reddit/r/Ubuntu.

They are so confidentally incorrect about so much shit.

Talk about removing snaps?

"Core gnome functionality on Ubuntu requires snaps"

That's not even remotely true. Snaps download Gnome* runtime libraries for it, just like Flatpaks do to run the snaps.

Just an example but still. I see so much crap like this.

    Yeah, it's the Cognitive Bias fallacy. Reminds me of all the anti Linux users who continue using the "Linux wont be ready for the average user, because no average user wants to write a compiler from scratch just so they can compile their programs". If you don't like something, you don't like it. No problem, no reason to whine and cry about it. You like a different distro, great, go use it. That's how distro's work. Everything eventually helps everybody and you just pick a distro that gets you close to what you want. I started with Slackware 3.4, to me everything is great.

    A friend of mine is a computer illiterate. His laptop doesn’t support Win11 because of the missing secure boot.

    I installed Linux mint and showed him firefox, but he preferred chrome, so I got him Brave. Steam was downloaded, the update center was self explanatory.

    He loves the speed.

    I really hate all these snaps and flatpacks and docker and blah blah blah.

    Its about impossible to find a simple series of commands to just install and run some program anymore.

    I also keep running into issues, especially with Docker where it assumes its the only thing that exists and everything uses the same port.
