you do you. But ubuntu is the windows of linux from the perspective of telemetry, propertiary software and such. Like if ur gonna switch to linux might aswell “fully” switch
Ubuntu has zero telemetry if you flick the switch they show you right after installation. And steam is proprietary software, yet basically every distro ships it in their repos. Your points make no sense.
I have Ubuntu packages all through my system and I don’t need to care about whatever BS canonical is up to. Worst case scenario is I switch to LMDE one day.
I agree about that today, but it wasn’t always so easy to install linux for noobs as it is now.
It may be easy to forget, but Ubuntu was doing “easy jnstall” better than moat linux distros for a long time. I bet there are a lot of non-programmer-linux-daily-driver folks out there that got started on ubuntu. I’m one of them.

it is opt out… Besides why use a distro where you are in cannonical’s mercy when you can use anything else
And when Mint is right there too.

mint is awesome
Every distro ships steam, really?
I’m sure it’s not literally all of them, and it’s almost never preinstalled. But available in the repositories.

And yet we still did it. From floppies.
Nice.
This is not true.
It’s for when you want to get your grandparents on Linux but don’t want them to require your help every moment that they’re using it.
