“They’re replacing the internet with something else” is literal. It’s harder and harder to find what you want because you’re not allowed to have what you want anymore. You’re allowed to work hard till you die and hope Big Tech shares its merciful bounty with you. You can’t spell “social media” without “soma.”

When you’re trying out distros, I usually say to just go for it. Install the one that grabs your attention. Save everything to a NAS or cloud because the distro is going to break and you’re going to want to try another one. However, Ubuntu is actually the wrong one to start with for this trajectory because it’s the least likely to break.
