If you have gained some Linux skills after using Ubuntu for some time, you may try switching to these distributions to explore the world of Linux distributions further.

Ubuntu is one of the best Linux distributions for beginners. It's an excellent platform for people new to Linux. It is easy to install, has tons of free resources available along with a massive list of applications available for it. https://itsfoss.com/distribution-after-ubuntu/

    supports more hardware fully than Linux

    Sorry, you have that exactly backward. Windows supports no hardware. Or, more precisely, it supports no more hardware, and possibly less, than Unix-likes do. Windows supports CPU architectures, and that is just about all that it supports. Ditto most Unix-likes.

    The proper way to state what you meant, would be, "More hardware manufacturers support Windows than support Linux."

    Your original statement implies that Microsoft has put time, money, and resources into supporting virtually every piece of hardware in the world.

    What really happened was, Microsoft enjoyed a monopoly for some years. Microsoft offered their Windows OS's to computer vendors, with exclusivity clauses. No one could afford to offer anything else, because they would have lost their Microsoft licensing. Because Windows enjoyed a monopoly, hardware vendors baked Windows support in.

    Windows is losing it's monopoly, slowly, and hardware support for Unix-likes is improving steadily. Herr Bush did the computing world no favors, when his administration decided not to pursue monopoly suits against Microsoft.
