TBH, I mostly find this to be a (very valid) story about why Ubuntu is problematic. Most of my team around me uses Ubuntu and periodically has to wrestle with some issue, and have to wipe and reinstall every year or so.

This Fedora installation is 5 years old now. I have done a distro upgrade at least every year. It has worked extremely stabley and predictably all the way though, including the Fedora transition from X to Wayland.

I recently helped my friend install his first Linux distro, Ubuntu. He told me he could not log in, and he kept getting back to the login page. I realized that he might be having problems related to his display manager installed by default. I made him go to virtual console and replace the default display manager so that he can start his desktop environment session without getting stuck in a display manager loop.

I did not like my own Ubuntu experience when I was using few years before as well. I don't think its stable enough for newcomers as well.
