Just an FYI if you're looking to load up the new #Ubuntu: the new installer is very prone to crashing. :(
@jonyoder aw no, sadface! that's annoying, esp because i had a couple of nonlinux friends i was about to try and switch... maybe i give it a few months
@rose_myrtle I'd recommend going with Linux Mint for them anyways. The desktop interaction is more familiar with Cinnamon or MATE than GNOME. And you don't have the performance problems that Snaps impose.
