I think your first point is the main reason Ubuntu has its popularity to thank for; 10-15 years ago it was (one of) the best desktop Linux OSes, people used to its workflow will continue using it as there’s no imminent reason to switch to whatever new thing just came out
Firewall is pre-installed, and they offer to configure and enable it on launch (similar to Ubuntu and many other distros). I’ve never seen a Linux desktop they came with firewall preconfigured in any way.
The lock screen is an issue, and Cinnamon does not come with a Wayland way to lock yet. KDE, Gnome or some other Wayland friendly DE would be better in that regard, I agree
It was one of the first polished desktop Linux systems, even though it’s enremovedtified recently it holds its popularity due to its long-standing status as “THE Linux desktop”
I agree, this doesn’t explain why Ubuntu would be any better than other OSes that also auto update by default…
It’s Ubuntu, so it’s secure.
It uses a supported LTS kernel, for better stability and security. Updates to a newer LTS kernel if the LTS it was using is no longer supported.
It’s very secure by default.
That’s the default everywhere else, yes
So it has auto updates enabled? Windows, macOS and a ton of other Linux distros do that as well.
I think it’s moreso that Ubuntu is (one of the) most used desktop Linux OSes, so a lot of corporations and individuals who like to play safe just go with that
True, fixed
Or better yet:
gparted
, wipe every partition of the diskdskmng
, shrink Windows by the needed amount (having another OS shrink it might break it)I mesnt you just referring to another place to get help. But yeah, their forum really is a neat place for this
On one hand I want to upvote you, because OP will really have a much better chance at getting good support there.
On the other hand I want to downvote you for just “forwarding their call” to another forum, instead of helping directly. (I’ve had bad experiences with unhelpful Linux communities where people basically just tried to find the quickest way to move someone out of their support channel)
I’ll keep it neutral, I guess.
Being used to tone tags, that /S
signature felt so weird at first.

Sounds like a good step towards rocking hard at 84.
@Gigachad already mentioned it
Sadly, Apple is doing ARM CPUs for desktop/laptop PC incredibly well, and at a cheaper price than just about any competitor.
Before the Macbook Pro M1 I would’ve hard agreed with you, but this sentiment no longer goes with the current ARM PC’s that they’re selling.
And decently easy to repair / have repaired at a computer shop, wether its the battery, RAM, CPU, keyboard, screen, or any and I mean ANY of the external connectors!
What do you mean?
It was honestly trivial to wipe Samsung’s and install LineageOS on a Galaxy Note 10+ and a Galaxy Tab 7. The bootloader isn’t much of an issue.
Now, getting a random Linux system to install, rather than an Android system designed for these, sounds live a huge challenge.
