The Ubuntu blog has a report on installation metrics:
We first announced our intention to ask users to provide basic, not-personally-identifiable system data back in February. Since then we have built the Ubuntu Report tool and integrated it in to the Ubuntu 18.04 LTS initial setup tool. You can see an example of the data being collected on the Ubuntu Report Github page.
At first login users are asked if they would like to send the information gathered and can preview that data if they wish.
One thing to point out is that this data is entirely from Ubuntu Desktop installs only and does not include users of Ubuntu Server, Ubuntu Core, our cloud images, or any of the Ubuntu derivatives that do not include the ubuntu-report software in their installer.
For example, the average install took 18 minutes, but some systems were able to install in less than 8 minutes. Available RAM was most frequently reported at 4GB followed closely by 8GB, but there were systems reporting in with as little as 1GB and as much as 128GB.
How do your system(s) compare?

Sorry man, that just sounds dumb.

Doesn't take longer. Especially if you follow your own prescription and set up your partitions right.
In production, I run a rolling release (Manjaro) and a Periodic Release (Opensuse). Manjaro is WAY easier to maintain and keep current.
Opensuse is becoming wackier and more problematic with each release (every 18 months).
No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.
