Ubuntu is friendly and stable and usable, even in commercial. Canonical give you choice what desktop flavor you want - this is also very friedndly - not all distros are made that way. Canonical now support LTS relases for 12 years. The problem with Canonical is that they don't respond to emails with these questions: - How many cost iso image download service per user? - How many cost sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade per user per monht? - How many donation do you expect from honest user? Please specify your expectations per each workstation and per each server? - What should I do to make a donation that will be fairly separated/divided between Kubuntu, Canonical, and free software suppliers?
