Totally. The only kinda downside is that it has frozen root partition, so you have to work around if you want some console utilities. Not a problem for most people, though — mostly for folks that prefer console over GUI, like me.

But then for that you have distrobox, which is great. If that's not enough, running another OS is also trivial, so that downside really is only 'kinda', as you say!
