I'm forced to use Ubuntu (an old version too, 22.04) because the app I use for about 70% of my computer time doesn't support anything else. I've tried newer versions of ubuntu and other distros and have gotten it to a mostly working state after a lot of work, but the issues are too much and I also loose all customer support since I'm not using the officially supported distro and version. I'll never go back to Windows but I feel jailed in more than I did before, and there's just no other option.

So what does that image look like?

    Probably shit like NinjaRMM

    They only support Ubuntu for their rdesktop app, Someone pulled it kicking and screaming into nixpkgs, i built a flake around it. It's stable, but the day they release a breaking change, I'm at the mercy of an unpaid, unnamed package maintainer to make it work again or take a stab at it myself. Or run it in wine, or run it in a windows VM. or build it out an ubuntu docker and x11 forward it back.
