It's strange. I have a hard time remembering why I liked Ubuntu right away. ... works out of the box mindset
Ubuntu was literally the first Linux distro I have ever used where everything on my PC worked out of the box.
Installing Windows (of that age, XP) on the same PC would result in spending a day or weekend hunting and installing drivers for obscure things here and there, but in Ubuntu everything just worked.
I had never seen anything like that before (on PCs at least), and that made a solid impression which still makes it my default, despite a interest and curiosity trying in other distros like Elementary or NixOS.
