At this point it’s the third best server OS in the Linux space and a below average desktop experience.
I’m not convinced Ubuntu is a good tool for many jobs.

I use Ubuntu on most of my servers and dual boot my gaming rig with Ubuntu Desktop mainly to host LLMs. I’ve been a Linux user for 25 years, I remember playing around with Red Hat pre 2000. Right now though, I want a solid distro that supports lots of hardware (my network consists of x86, ARM, Oracle Cloud, SBCs, etc), has a large community for support, and isn’t likely to get abandoned. Ubuntu solves that

To be fair, most tools are pretty bad at all other jobs besides the one it was made for. Same goes for an OS. If Ubuntu is made to off ramp people more comfortable with Windows, then that’s just a fine purpose for aln OS.

It certainly doesn’t help new users. At least not compared to Linux Mint and others.
