It isnt a question of whether Ubuntu is my distro of choice. Distros can be replaced.
The real question is whether it requires proprietry devce drivers.
Did they use Ubuntu becaus of proprietary device drivers?
Or because it happens to be one of the most popular distros around?
I've been told Ubuntu has licenced proprietary software.
I've been told Ubuntu has no proprietary device drivers. If that's true, being able to run Ubuntu indicates some measure of long-term safety, if not libre/freedom.
I'm not sure what to believe.
