Honestly, this isn't much of a hypothetical for me. At work, my choices are Windows, Mac, or Ubuntu. I'm quite happy with Ubuntu, though I've switched away from the default desktop environment to i3.

I use Arch (BTW) on my personal systems. And Ubuntu isn't as bad as I worried it would be.

My main gripe is snaps. Firefox is practically unusable as a snap. And my employer forbids installing any software (save for a select list of exceptions) not via the officially-supported Ubuntu way of doing things. Chrome is available without snap, so I use it on my work machine. Which annoys me, but if I'm less efficient in my job as a result, it's their own fault.
