Ubuntu is a shitcoin, dunno why everyone uses it as 'default Linux', change my mind; Fedora, Debain or Alpine are the three to go for from shiny-newness to most boring and stable. Honourable mention for FreeBSD as the so-stable-you-turn-it-on-and-it's-still-running-four-years-later option. nostr:nevent1qqsd0k5lhs9ptfvzjyxnkcasjp6u7kxg8dv0t40e8380g602qplagcspzpmhxue69uhkztnwdaejumr0dshszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7hgq9ul

Snaps suck, everyone else uses Flatpack. Upstart was a waste of time, everyone else uses SystemD or init.d. Unity was a waste of time, everyone else uses Gnome/KDE. Mir was a waste of time, everyone else was using Wayland; etc. etc. No idea what Juju is but probably also a waste of time.

1 year ago I tried to get into Linux, I shit you not I spent 3 weeks trying to install Ubuntu and failing because I had a Nvidia graphics card and my cpu didn't have on board graphics, ended up buying a new CPU just to install Ubuntu then realised I could have just installed fedora 😂😂😂😂 Ubuntu sucks ass, yes I was allowing proprietary drivers, I spent 3 weeks trying every workaround known to man, nothing worked.

Ubuntu works when it works, but if you poke it the wrong way wow does it break completely 😂 I'll give them credit only for being fairly good by comparison to other distros for graphics card support (sometimes) and working on AI/ML things; but that's often because those things are so poorly written that they basically assume Ubuntu and don't work properly on other distros

one key thing, you find a USB installer that is based on ubuntu, and the live settings info page says the GPU is recognised, unplug the network, before you install then, after that, remove the linux-blablabla-generic package after it boots, that bitch pulls in new versions that will break your install and give you black screen pain
