“Ubuntu will work. Easy peasy. Most PC and laptops will run way better on Ubuntu since it doesn’t come with all the bloatware Windows does.”

Ubuntu is more difficult to run. Requires using command line.

Won’t run a lot of popular programs and games.

Won’t run Android apps.

You make a lot of good and valid points, but actually Waydroid does a very good job with many if not most Android apps and games.

However, like a lot of experiences in Ubuntu... it is more difficult to get working than installing BlueStacks or tweaking Windows 11’s native Android support.

I am actually using Edge in Ubuntu right now because I could not remember Waydroid’s name. This is working fine, but everything about the OS is just a little more difficult to get working smoothly for people who have not been farting around with it for years.

Just getting the touchpad to work the same as it does in Windows can sometimes be a bit of a challenge... not to mention that things from the buttons to fonts can sometimes be difficult to get just the way that you want them.

Wrong... No it is not. All those are absolutely not true.

Your perspective is very obviously 10 years behind the times my friend.

You might want to educate yourself concerning the new distros before making claims like this. You are obviously making claims based on complete ignorance and lack of personal knowledge about how they “now” work and you are making yourself look foolish.
