@anthropy@mastodon.derg.nz Ubuntu's a pretty solid intro for workstation linux and has been for decades....and it sucks as a desktop/latop for many as the linux kernel just doesn't run stuff many peeps, and employers, depend upon.
If someone can't get Ubuntu work for them, linux is perhaps not the place for them.
It's also fine for people to try a linux OS and declare 'linux sucks' after doing so if it's not for you.

@groot@toot.community hard disagree. if one distro doesn't work for you, that doesn't make the kernel bad. That's like saying Aluminium sucks because you used one of those cheap ass stamped aluminium laptops, while airplanes are doing just fine. Ubuntu used to be great, back in 2008, but in my experience it hasn't been for quite a while- that's quite a bit more subjective than actually declaring all of linux bad just because you refused to look further than the first thing you stumbled upon though.
