Ubuntu is a better solution than another distro as far as malware goes?
A dubious contention at best.
That's not even counting the huge issue of persuading appliance users that they should wipe the OS thay have off their machine, source a distibution, and then install and configure it.
I know it's as easy as windows, but they don't install windows do they, which is fortunate, because they'd find it just as difficult...
Do better, the only people you are convincing is those who already disagree with you and will continue to do so, when you represent yourself with this sort of drivel.
