I'm considering getting an Ubuntu laptop and I'm curious if it's a good idea for someone who's never used Linux before. I've always stuck to Windows and macOS in my life, but I'm ready to dive into Linux and see what it's all about! My main needs are apps like Slack, Spotify, Telegram, Discord, Signal, and a reliable web browser. I've heard these should be available on Linux. Are there any concerns I should keep in mind before making the switch?

If you just need the basics, you'll likely be just fine with Ubuntu! A lot of newcomers actually prefer trying Linux Mint since it's user-friendly and simple. However, Ubuntu itself is a solid choice too. Just remember, it’s meant for everyday tasks, not so much tinkering unless you want to get into that later on.
Exactly! I'm not really looking to mess around too much either; I just want it to work!
