Query: “What are the most common pain points with Ubuntu for developers in 2025?”4/7/2026

Because what i unexpectedly got was an overcomplicated overly complex, badly documented, anti-intuitive, OS with a hard to use UI. after the installation… it was unclear which UI to pick - which store to use - how to create a 'dock/taskbar shortcut'.
