It blow my mind that people are still using Ubuntu on the desktop. I actually thought for a moment that Ubuntu had disabled the ability of users to shut down their system. Yes- I only saw 'suspend' as an option when I went to the shutdown button. The reason is I was behind the lock mode. Seems like a bad design, but that might just be GNOME.
I have a ton of criticism for Canonical, but the most recent is they utterly dropped the ball for the 2nd time in a decade when it comes to USB wifi adapters. They failed to include the firmwares in 26.04 and so hundreds of thousands of users are unable to connect to the internet.
The only other operators that have gotten it this wrong were "Purism" and humorously that was worse because they didn't include the only free firmware in a distribution that only works with free software (theoretically, it appears they actually include non-free software, or they've been caught doing it repeatedly anyhow.. and stuff they should have caught... every other distro did).
