    don’t worry. this probably isn’t for you… yet… anyway, why did you install ubuntu??? who misguided you? you should have gone linux mint DE, mx linux, Fedora or something like that. Ubuntu was great… 15 years ago. Sorry if I sound too hard… take it with a laugh 😁

      No. Fuck this shit. Don’t do this.

      It’s already bad when everyone in this community shoves their distro down potential linux-converts’ throats, thereby confusing them even more. Don’t tell (or imply to) freshly converted users that they potentially made a wrong choice.

      TF do you think they’re going to do now? Move to fedora? The commenter above already stated that it was a hassle to install Ubuntu and now you’re telling them to change distros already???

      Ubuntu is still great… compared to Windows. Sure. It may not hold to your ideals. Compared to other distros, canonical may make some questionable choices. BUT THEY DON’T IMPLEMENT A FUCKING RECALL. So it’s fine (for now).

      Ubuntu is fine for newcomers. It has a shit ton of support online and you can easily search questions whose answers are likely to be found within the first few results.

      So stop shoving distros down people’s throats, especially fresh users.

      I know you said:

      It doesn’t come across that way. You come off as a gatekeeper.

        Ok. Yeah, commenters are right. First of all, congratulations for switching. Enjoy ubuntu as a great first step. If you have issues, consider it might be ubuntu and not linux as a whole. In the future, consider other options like the ones I gave. Sorry for the not-contributing comment.

        Please, don’t listen to this kind of nonsense and keep using whatever you’re happy with.

        While I personally don’t love Ubuntu, it is a perfectly fine choice and if you’re comfortable with it that’s just great! Period.

        So, congratulations for making this choice and don’t hesitate to ask if you have questions. You’ll find that the Linux community has much more to give than “you shouldn’t use X, use Y because I say so”. Just ignore this.

        Keep it up, enjoy the ride and welcome!
