I have been using Linux for many years, so have tried many distros. However I have never tried Ubuntu, although I have used Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu and other Ubuntu based distros.Fully Ubuntu'd up here on servers, desktops and laptops. Zero problems from the distro but have minor GUI preference issues with the Gnome interface but nothing the odd plugin or tweak can't resolve.Recently I bought a new laptop. Ubuntu 20.04 was already installed on it. Since I now use MX Linux I never even looked at the installed distro. I immediately replaced it with the latest MX, removing Ubuntu while I was at it. When I mentioned this to the supplier he was a bit concerned. All his other customers apparently are happy to stay with Ubuntu. I am the odd one out. He seemed to expect me to have problems using MX. I didn't.However, this made me decide to have a look at Ubuntu, for the first time ever. So I set up the ISO on a USB stick and had a play. Oh dear. Is it me?I have tried many other distros apart from those already mentioned. And, for me at least, Ubuntu is the worst I have ever looked at. I just cannot get anywhere with is. I have tried hard, honest. I have spent a lot of time on it.I know that Ubuntu has had many changes over the past few years, but even so.Have other list members been able to use Ubuntu with no problems? I have had a look at some reviews, which have not helped.Is it me? Neil
