I don't know your particular use case. I dislike Ubuntu desktop because I used it between 2017-2019 and it was horrible, horrible experience.

No! I don’t want to spend my evenings and weekends troubleshooting my fucking PC because an update failed. I don’t want to spend time reading forums and release note to ensure my next update isn’t going to fuck up everything

I spent countless hours diagnosing and fixing because Canonical fucking broke Vulkan drivers on Ubuntu 17.10. I'm not mad that bug happened I'm mad because they didn't bother to fix it until next major release half a year later.

Also they made wayland default in 2017. No vsync control, no Hidpi scaling, and bunch of other shit broken. On Ubuntu 18.04LTS their system 100% crashed when launching steam after updating kernel. I have still no idea why.

Fuck this company. I'm on rolling distro now. Ubuntu is the reason why Linux is so niche. Every new user is recommended that garbage and most of them must bounce straight back to Windows.

Right now I'm on Manjaro and I'm happy with it but I can see the issues with it.

I don't use AUR. Maybe there are like two packages I installed from there. I think AUR is conceptually stupid, and I use official repos and flatpak whenever I can.
