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
You can add repositories though?

Sadly I wasn't at the time.

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!
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.
