Personally I haven’t. While Linux is imperfect, choosing the right distro makes the rest of the experience straightforward. And with it’s whole complexity, I find Linux more user friendly than Windows. Even driver issues, broken shadow file ownership and KDE specifics only made me more confident about my choice to use Linux after I solved everything.
In 2014, I felt like Canonical / Ubuntu actually added value beyond the Debian it was based on.
As the years rolled on, Debian’s “shortcomings” became fewer and less important, meanwhile Canonical’s handling of Ubuntu has slowly accumulated what I consider “negative value.” Since 2024, my new installs have been Debian based, no more Canonical/Ubuntu. Fresh Ubuntu installs are still a bit more polished than Debian, but not in any way that compensates for the negative aspects of virtually forced use of snap packaging, Gnome (Xubuntu is a viable option, but so is XFCE on Debian), holding LTS updates hostage behind paywalls, etc.
