      I don’t like Canonical either, hence my recommendations for Mint or Pop being listed first. But let’s be real, if someone wants to just get away from windows and wants something that works without having to learn much new, this is good enough.

      On the bright side: If you’re tech-savy enough to form that opinion, you’re probably not the intended audience for this advice.

        Canonical have a long history of making decisions for corporate reasons, then using their popularity to try to strongarm the larger Linux community into adopting their way of doing things.

        Currently, they’re pushing their closed source Snap packs, which are frankly inferior to the open source Flat packs, but it’s just the latest example of their shenanigans.

          Well… That’s shitty behaviour. I’m luckily not on Ubuntu. Thanks for clarification.
