It is one of the more user friendly distros and (somewhat unlike other user friendly distros like Linux Mint) is pretty quick at updating packages (including the kernel).
I like Ubuntu the most from a GUI perspective. Sometimes I feel the urge to uninstall Windows 11 entirely and replace it with the latest version of Ubuntu or even dual-boot them side-by-side, but then I realize that I'm way more used to Windows than Ubuntu. Also, there are a lot of apps and games I won't be able to use on Ubuntu.
I have a Bachelor's in Computer Science, so I'm familiar with Ubuntu, but as I told you before: I would choose Windows over Linux in the meantime.
Yeah, I removed Windows on my laptop a couple years back, and I still run into issues running some video games (darn you Nvidia!). However, usability has been increasing recently, and because I like the UI of my distro I really look forward to the day I can do everything I would want to on Linux.
