Ubuntu is just a stock distro, no seasoned user is likely to use it,
although there are some exceptions.

Section 1.

nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent. States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.

"Ubuntu Desktop has more than 6 million monthly active users (based on
devices checking for desktop-specific updates and not including those
behind a corporate firewall or proxy). Ubuntu Desktop is by far the most
popular Linux distribution for developers (~27% in the 2023 Stack Overflow
developer survey)"

It probably has some stability benefit for "developers".

I have it on my old ASUS laptop. But I prefer Debian (testing or unstable) and
Arch.

Doesn't matter a lot, it's personal preference in the end.

Stock distros are fine by me -- Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Lubuntu, Raspberry
Pi OS, OpenSUSE....

This seasoned user has other things to do than mess around with an OS.

And seasoned or not, if the OS messes around with you, you go to another OS.

As I said in another message, helping others is a way of contributing.
So as ubuntu is the most spread distro, it has more people able to help.
