This is why we recommend #Fedora or a #uBlue variant in 2025. Ubuntu has become this massive Ship of Thesius, where planks and nails are flying off the thing.
Also Snaps... Snaps is an attempt at creating vendor lock-in on Linux, which is an evil onto itself (even though I full heartedly support #Flathub, largely because #Flatpak can load third party repos).

@hopland Snaps, a solution to a problem that was already solved. Without lock-in.
@DoomBananas I'm betting daddy #Microsoft convinced #Canonical that it was a good idea.
@hopland Wow, I did not know that Canonical and Microsoft are in a partnership! I stopped keeping up with the Linux news for some time.
Well that explains quite a few things 
@DoomBananas that's basically the gist of it. Ever since they pow-wowed I knew it was going to be downhill from there.
I recently got to test #Ubuntu again at a local organization, and OMG. It's like the #Windows11 of #LinuxDistributions.
The GPU stack it self is the most rickety setup I've seen. I was like "how do you mess up NVIDIA driver support this badly?" It was amazing.
I've never been more convinced that I should recommend #Fedora to average users instead, cus my gawd.
@hopland @DoomBananas
A friend wanted to try out Linux on his PC. The only distros that actually worked and managed to utilize his RTX2060 was Ubuntu/variants. (We also tried Fedora)
But sure, forsake Ubuntu entirely because of faulty drivers on some specific machines.
@Tsugu @DoomBananas you're right. "It works on my machine" is anecdotal evidence and a logical fallacy. To then also infer without any concrete information is bad form.
In any case, I've had nothing but bad experiences with #Ubuntu this past decade, and Snaps made it worse. Recently I had to deal with the Ubuntu driver framework on a laptop and it was messy to say the least.
I'm curious though. What didn't exactly work for you, specifically? Did you download the Intel image for an NVIDIA box?
@DoomBananas @Tsugu Mint and Debian are great distros. Even Debian unstable is a fantastic option for a distro that is cutting edge.
Personally I also think Arch is maturing a lot, especially since Valve put money into their org so that their build service could keep up and that their signing process gets improved.
But Fedora is my favourite of the mainstream distros, simply because they keep a nice balance between cutting edge and stable.
Ubuntu has just become a disappointment, tbh.
@hopland was on centos for a while (long before the drama) and it was ok. Tested out fedora, but it did not play nice with my hw so I went back to Debian and moved on to Gentoo. Now I'm running Arch (btw) on my desktop and laptop and debian on the servers
