If and only if it works out of the box. My last attempt at Ubunutu (about a year ago) lasted 20 minutes because it couldn’t connect to the WiFi during setup, claiming a wrong password. Even though the password was 100% correct.

I switched my geriatric mother over to Ubuntu last year. I haven’t heard a single complaint from her about any of it.
