      Ubuntu has zero telemetry if you flick the switch they show you right after installation. And steam is proprietary software, yet basically every distro ships it in their repos. Your points make no sense.

      I agree about that today, but it wasn’t always so easy to install linux for noobs as it is now.

      It may be easy to forget, but Ubuntu was doing “easy jnstall” better than moat linux distros for a long time. I bet there are a lot of non-programmer-linux-daily-driver folks out there that got started on ubuntu. I’m one of them.

      It’s for when you want to get your grandparents on Linux but don’t want them to require your help every moment that they’re using it.
