Beginner here, what is so bad about Ubuntu? I put it on a laptop this weekend and was running and installing software faster than any Windows install I have ever done. Firefox runs fine, the Mozilla email program hooked right up with my ancient Yahoo account. Blender runs like a scalded dog. Cura and prusa run good enough. I'm arguing with Muse and Ardour a bit but expected that. Spotify runs. I'm having a good first experience. So why the hate?
They push their own things on it, like Snaps, which is not an open source standard. Plus they are a subscription based distro now, like RHEL.
You can get the same with a lot less bloat with LMDE. Try it, I'm sure you'll like it.
