    Ubuntu and other Ubuntu desktop variants tend to break very often for me. But this has nothing to do with Linux.

    I use Arch Linux at home and never reainstalled it because its solid af. Unlike Windows or Ubuntu

      I second this. People usually recommend Ubuntu for beginners which I can somewhat understand because it’s super easy to get started. But the downside is that you’ll most likely stay a beginner and don’t understand the absolute basics of a Linux based OS because, well, most of the time you don’t have to. Then you make a beginner’s mistake once and there you go.

        I don’t get why people even recommend Ubuntu anymore. There’s other beginner friendly distros like Mint that don’t have a company behind them that develops proprietary software no one wants and then tries to get everyone to use it.
