minus-squaresem@piefed.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down1·9 天前Not for me haha. I’m happy on Ubuntu, but I’ve had my share of weird bugs and ux issues. And they do a pretty good job. If I was on Ubuntu and never configured anything or installed any software, I’d have a slightly better track record.
