The importance of Ubuntu for the future of the Linux World:
Some #Linux users act as if most people have 100% knowledge of technology and software.
#Ubuntu promises simplicity in terms of installation and use.
After installation, you can start using it even if you do nothing.
One of the biggest reasons why new users can adapt is, of course, Ubuntu.
I won't name names, but people who think they're cool because they can install some difficult-to-install distributions are endangering Linux.
