Colleague:
"I need to use Linux and my boyfriend suggested I use Ubuntu, is that right?"

Me (screaming internally, deciding on whether to rant on bloatware, on Canonical, on reproducibility, on monetization, on many things wrong with the world, but not wanting to come off as an elitist, nor scare her off the idea altogether):

I would say use Mint, I think nowadays that's the better beginner distro. Actually it's also kind of the pro-user distro. Fiddling around to tweak everything and get it just right is fun in your 20s, but when you need to work, have kids and a wife mint is fine ๐Ÿ˜›
