Using Ubuntu may give off hipster vibes to the average PC user, but within the Linux community its has the opposite effect.

hot take?

Edit: got nothing against Ubuntu, it's Linux after all and that's what matters 🌻 Edit2: people took this very seriously for being a shower thought..

Anyone using Ubuntu is one person less using windows. I call that a win. Everyone has to start somewhere!

Ubuntu was my training wheels 15 years ago

i still use it, from all these years.

thinking of hopping soon tho

Windows is so dominant in the market that not using it is still named after them.

I started on Debian potato and used pretty much every distribution at sone point, often three at a time. I've used Ubuntu for the last five years because it's easy, stable and upto date. I know people get very minmax about their choice of os and I love that but yeah we need to remember when we say it's 'fine' or 'good enough' that yeah it's not race tuned or weaponised or whatever special builds people are making but ita still much much better than windows.
