I can see why you would recommend it. For me though, it's too close to the Windows UX. I try and make people break away from what they know in order to have the cleanest transition.

What kind of issues did you run into if you don't mind me asking? I jumped ship from Ubuntu just when they started with the snap nonsense, so things I found egregious, like them dropping Unity, aren't really valid in the grand scheme of things.

Ubuntu is a great gateway distro. When I dumped Windows back in the Windows 10 days, Ubuntu made it an easy transition, time elapsed and there were things that didn't work right that I found frustrating. I eventually ended up trying out Fedora and the rest was history. I'm glad you found a good fit for you.

I'm the same. Took my sweet time getting my Pi5 and now I'm a zealot!

I wouldn't recommend over 12 months

Happy to see them backtrack. I didn't think the backlash would be large enough. Let's see if they follow through on the backtrack though

Sure thing: https://www.threadgroup.org/What-is-Thread/Thread-Benefits

Basically Matter over Thread is the new Zigbee.

This is really interesting and an absolute game changer. Hopefully it kills Chromecast. Like others, I only knew of Matter as a home automation consortium, that they've worked out a casting open standard and will be pushing that is amazing. I look forward to seeing it adopted. That said, apparently Matter certification is expensive and everything I've seen using Thread thus far drops connection a lot so it may take a while.

That's hilarious. Lazy and hilarious!
