Ubuntu installers?

[Patrick Pletcher]

I am not a developer or a power user, but if I can chime in here, I can find my way around a computer. I have not had difficulty finding software that does what I want it to do in the Snap Store. Admittedly, I have no need for specific software and only use my PC for internet browsing, listening to music, watching movies, and typing up documents. For that, Ubuntu works well.

 Yes. That's Linux.

I think I need to stick up for others who have expressed sympathy for me before in this thread. So here goes...

Liam.

That might be true Linux generally, but is it Ubuntu specifically? If Ubuntu ends up being hard to install and manage software on, is Ubuntu offering its users anything of value?

I am a Java developer, and I have my own very small niche. I like things that way because my attention is not as expansive as others. I don't really want to become knowledgeable in all the gnarls and pockmarks of software versions and package managers. Is Ubuntu going to help me?
