Ubuntu had so many years as the “default” that people have some old perfect version of ubuntu that they liked better. Some early version from the gnome2 days, or else people who loved unity.
For my part, the last time I tried it, there were snap and apt versions of so many apps, that when you had an issue it was hard to troubleshoot because there would be two sets of solves. That was enough to get me to bail. I wonder if that’s still an issue.
Probably to some degree… But on any other distro, the same is almost certainly true today too. Only it’s between… rpm/aur/deb/etc and Flatpaks instead of snap.
I see more manjaro than ubuntu.
