Norwegian government loves windows, so yea, I really doubt it. (by it, I mean the government using Ubuntu thing)

edit: added explanation to “it”, so not to be as confusing to what I refered to.
yet finland has way less linux users per capita
https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/finland#monthly-202307-202407
an attempt at an answer:
more linux users = more linux software (and I know this doesn’t mean better linux software)
Or at least attention from the bigger actors e.g., Adobe, Autodesk etc. to make their industry standards available for Linux users
This is obviously just in preparation for future AAA game sizes

it needs to be manually set, but a script to run this when you launch the app/game maybe?
Spectacle from KDE is also a pretty good default
Appflowy might not be there yet, but it is improving fast

Only thing I can think of is by adding the repo you get updates with your system. This makes it more secure by having patched software.
It might not be good advice, but that was not what OP asked for.
My comment was meant as a beginner-friendly way to install Mullvad VPN on Ubuntu, and not unsolicited advice telling them to learn something that should not be needed for daily computer usage. And while adding the repo might be the better solution, that would require the use of the terminal, and as multiple people have proven to me, that wouldn’t be a friendly way to introduce Linux to someone just starting out.
You don’t teach someone to swim, by dropping them in the middle of the pacific.
If you go to: https://mullvad.net/en/download/vpn/linux
And click the “download .deb” button (It says underneath “Works on Ubuntu 20.04+, Debian 11+ (64bit only)”. As long as your Ubuntu is up-to-date, this will work fine)
you get a file (“MullvadVPN-2023.6_amd64.deb”) you can run just like on Windows (similar to MullvadVPN-2023.6.exe)
opening the file should open a GUI for installing the file
Keep in mind, to update Mullvad VPN, you would need to download a newer .deb file (after an update is released). It shows the latest version above the download buttons, below the “Mullvad VPN for Linux text” This is the same as how it is on Windows
Edit: This is not intended as good advice, just a simple way to install Mullvad VPN. The smartest solution would be to add the repo.
2nd Edit: While this is how Mullvad provides their software, it is never ideal to install random .deb packages or add third party repos without being sure that the ones who provided the package/repo is trustworthy.
https://distrochooser.de/ is a great tool that help to understand what the different distros can do.
Also, you should probably know that selecting a distro is more about selecting the underlying OS and less about the UI (DE). Most distros support the top 5 Desktop Environments (DE for short). And selecting a DE can be just as important.
I believe you want to look into libki. Works on Windows and Linux.
Linux Mint with this serves our local library.

My org is slow to get updates, that might be it
edit: tried call from M$ Teams today and got the popup saying :
Try a different browser This feature isn’t available yet for your browser. Try the web app with Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome, or switch to the desktop app.
And then a download link
I’m on FF117 on Fedora (F38)
Second edit:
changing User-Agents worked to remove the popup, but crashed FF instead
Joining calls doesn’t work for me, tried it again a couple of days ago.
Discord, Jitsi, Google Meet, Nextcloud Talk and everything else works fine in Firefox, only teams refuses to work.
Yes, because I am forced to use M$ Teams.
and it doesn’t work in firefox
Fedora delivers with Sway and Budgie as well now, in addition to Gnome and KDE
Well you see. 1905 never happened, and we are all under Sweden still. /s
