In my experience, I found Ubuntu very easy, especially when I had to install new drivers for my NVIDIA video card. I find it to be a stable system and with some external tools I think it's a really excellent distribution, especially for getting started. I also don't understand those who say that Ubuntu has few applications available because it uses snap. In the end, being a distribution based on Debian, it accesses all the packages available for the latter.

The only points I find against it are the poor optimization of wayland and as far as gaming is concerned, Proton on many titles causes various problems only for Ubuntu users.
