    This is not a big issue. In the installer or first time boot welcome pop up, just add a page where some popular apps are shown and can be selected to be downloaded and installed.

    Also what the fuck does the author mean when he says ubuntu is special¿? It is not that different from other distros and the ways that it is different does not make it better

      Also what the fuck does the author mean when he says ubuntu is special¿?

      There are two ways I read that:

      1. Ubuntu is special just to the author. It’s their favourite distribution and it holds sentimental value to them. The author doesn’t want Ubuntu to change, because they like it just the way it is.
      2. Ubuntu is special because of its high popularity between new users. For a long time, Ubuntu was/is suggested to newbies because of its ease of use and solid defaults. The removal of the apps could make the experience of future new users worse, so less people would stick with Linux.
