I have been distro hopping for about 2 weeks now, there’s always something that doesn’t work. I thought I would stick with Debian and now I haven’t been able to make my printer work in it, I think I tried in another distro and it just worked out of the box, but there’s always something that’s broken in every distro.

I’m sorry I’m just venting, do you people think Ubuntu will work for me? I think I will try it next.

    There are many reasons why their market share is so high:

    • They were there before Linux
    • They had a GUI before Linux even existed iirc (let alone before Linux’s were any good)
    • They were focused on desktop + consumer market from the start
    • They are for-profit and have a marketing budget
    • They have the Office products many depend on (be it justified or not)
    • For a long time, gaming was basically impossible on Linux
