I remember getting their free cds when I was in college. At the time I was a user of Conectiva Linux with widowmaker Desktop. Conectiva would later fuse with a french company and became Mandriva.
After sufering a couple of years in slack, I tried ubuntu for the first time and was my go to distro until I foun Fedora. And them I never really leave Fedora, but I still try new Ubuntu and arch from times to times.
I do ernjoy how easy they make everything, and while I understand that people dont like Snaps, they do work well enough for the use I do of a linux desktop. I also run Ubuntu Server on my home server.
