thats not what a distros job is

Bundling together a suite of many software packages into a usable system is the entirety of a distro’s job

Hm yes but preinstalling everything just meets the need of some people that dont know what to install

People like new and inexperinced Linux users, who are traditionally Ubuntu’s target audience?

Nothing stopping an experienced user like yourself from using a more hands-on distro

Ubuntu is not just preinstalled packages. You can use it for its software support, more stable releases and uninstall everything and get Apps purely from Flatpak.

I mean, why not just open software and install literally one of the apps on the main page? Libreoffice, Thunderbird, Firefox are all there.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
