That’s honestly super confusing to me. Not just experientially from using Ubuntu but also just I’ve never heard it described that way. It’s definitely near the top of list of out-of-box friendly distros.
Graphical installer. Full App Store UI. Desktop versions that come with lots of common software. It’s hard to get much simpler than that.
Truly, if anything, I would consider desktop Ubuntu to be somewhat power user unfriendly.
Ubuntu I would say is a terrible desktop OS full stop, and all the derivatives also, as well as Debian. They are fine for a server where someone wants stability of package change above all else, but as a desktop we should NOT be pushing new users to these distros full of outdated software when easier to use rolling distros are available, where adding anything new isn’t adding a repo that is almost certainly going to break things on an OS update.
Ubuntu is notoriously user unfriendly???
