I am guessing it has to do with the royal family. One of the kids assaulted and raped girls if I recall correctly and the princess has ties to Epstein

I also have a dusty environment where I work and wash my work clothes with my underwear in 60 degrees Celsius and my casual wear I wash in 40 degrees Celsius. Then I only need to do two machines. One 60 and one 40 degrees

I also have a Tempur bed with mattress and it's still going strong. Before I got it (maybe 4-5 years ago?) my dad owned it for maybe 10 years.

The only problem with it is that my stepmom didn't like it and that's why I bought it from them. And right now my current girlfriend doesn't like it... But she doesn't live with me and I still like the bed.

In 2012 they had no mention of Kubuntu or KDE on the official Ubuntu homepage and downloads page. Same for the Canonical website. I checked both in April and October of 2012 on the Wayback Machine.

Do you seriously expect new users to keep up with Ubuntu blogs, news sites and stuff like that? New users don't even know what a flavor is. New users are not that involved in the eco system. Just because you have seen it that doesn't mean it's widely known.

This right here is one of the problems with old Linux users trying to recruit new users.

That why they shouldn't be recommended anything that has to do with GNOME. Just give them anything that closely resembles Windows.

I installed Linux Mint on my mom's old laptop and on my stepmother's aunt's laptop as well. I have had 0 support calls since then! As you say, all they want to do is browse the web.

I am convinced that Ubuntu/GNOME is the main reason that Linux onboarding has taken so long and has been so slow.

I never knew KDE Plasma and other Windows-like desktop environments existed until Valve released the Steam Deck.

If someone were to recommend me a distro with the GNOME desktop environment then I would not be a Linux for long. GNOME is weird and confusing. I am convinced that KDE Plasma, Cinnamon, LXDE and other more Windows-like desktops is better for a new Linux user. If they want an alternative desktop environment they can seek it out themselves.
