Again with the Ubuntu... (Score 1)

Our household has been running versions of Ubuntu on our laptops for the last decade. My son, who is nine, has never known had another OS (other than Ubuntu). My wife (a writer) wrote and formatted her book. My personal laptops all have been running versions of Ubuntu. I think we represent a fair distribution of users. Disclosure: we are still running 14.04 LTS. The 16.04 LTS upgrade has been problematic for our current hardware. Now, we have had a few issues. And mostly surrounding upgrades. The only truly serious one was a graphics driver on an older HP POS Desktop I was attempting to use as an experimental server. There have been a few issues with finding the right drivers/codex for foreign DVDs, but we did find them. Best of luck.
