Ubuntu is the distro that people hate on the most, which is ironic given how easy it is to use.

Ubuntu isn't easy. Not when the context is gaming as is this video's.

Since Steam Deck all interesting developments (emulators, source ports of commercial games) happen on Flathub.

Canonical banned Flatpak from the default installation of all official Ubuntu variants (so Kubuntu, Lubuntu,...), therefore it is required to type shell commands to get stuff off Flathub, therefore it's now among the least easy to use distributions.
