Stable and Simple OS for Web-Based Workflows

I like Ubuntu's stability and simplicity. Its user interface is straightforward, and I appreciate the absence of unnecessary integrated features, particularly avoiding compulsory integration from the operating system provider. In our workplace, having computers available for intended use without the impact of background activities, which is common in systems with compulsory new features like Windows, is essential. Additionally, I find the setup process very straightforward.
