One of the last conversations I had on Reddit was with a guy complaining about how crap Linux is, that he installed Ubuntu and the desktop didn’t even work, it went straight to a terminal, and after some prodding he said that he couldn’t even get APT to work, and it hit me: “You didn’t install Ubuntu Core, their embedded OS version, did you?” No response.
There’s a Build Your Core button. And that takes you to a docs page that lets you download a pre-built image. I think it’s pretty obvious that this is not the Desktop Ubuntu.

Lmao.
To be fair on the guy, Canonical’s website is corporate sewage. finding the right ISO is a chore.
I politely disagree. Finding the Core ISO is harder than the Server/Desktop ones. https://ubuntu.com/download/core
