I've always wanted to contribute to an open source project but by the time I get done with the grind of the work day I don't have the mental energy to effectively work a second job competently.
For what its worth, I know that while a lot of the hardcore Linux community seems to absolutely despise Ubuntu/Canonical because of snaps and whatnot, I don't think there is anything actually wrong with using Ubuntu if that is what works for you. Use the best tool for the job!
ive been feeling stability issues with it on the last cycles, pretty gnarly issue on gnome and they still havent pushed the point release that fixes it, been wanting a change but i need the machine for work, so i dont want to fuck around with it.
