Colleague:
"I need to use Linux and my boyfriend suggested I use Ubuntu, is that right?"

I would say use Mint, I think nowadays that's the better beginner distro. Actually it's also kind of the pro-user distro. Fiddling around to tweak everything and get it just right is fun in your 20s, but when you need to work, have kids and a wife mint is fine 😛
You must drink alot
