People still use ubuntu when Debian and Mint exist?
Debian packages are ancient, unless you use "testing", which will be broken. That being said, Ubuntu is horrible too. The problem comes when you have to use proprietary software made by incompetent vendors, and that only works in Ubuntu.
Why would I switch off of Ubuntu? It's what came with my system.
Yes, proprietary hardware support out of the box, and pre-installed option by the few OEMs that sell GNU/Linux computers.
My nvidia GPU worked just fine. Debian has non-free repo you know...
I know how well it has worked in practice since the Walnut Creek CDROMs were a thing.
The power of marketing…
Ubuntu does offer some certifications but only for paying customers, so everyone else should really steer clear.
