    Fair point, but that probably wouldn’t be a “big difference” for a first time user.

      Sure, but if I were recommending a Linux OS to a first-time user, I wouldn’t recommend today’s Ubuntu as it is likely to lock them into a proprietary single-vendor system, which is contrary to one of the main points of promoting free software.

      The first-time user might not immediately notice the difference, but it’s (unfortunately) bad for free software to have more new users starting on today’s Ubuntu.

      This is pretty sad because Ubuntu used to be the obvious choice to recommend to new users.
