I second this. People usually recommend Ubuntu for beginners which I can somewhat understand because it’s super easy to get started. But the downside is that you’ll most likely stay a beginner and don’t understand the absolute basics of a Linux based OS because, well, most of the time you don’t have to. Then you make a beginner’s mistake once and there you go.
I don’t get why people even recommend Ubuntu anymore. There’s other beginner friendly distros like Mint that don’t have a company behind them that develops proprietary software no one wants and then tries to get everyone to use it.

Slowly the trend of recommending Ubuntu to beginners is declining

while I agree with you, calling people who recommend other distro elitists, horrible teachers, and idiots is pretty combative and rude.
