We're talking about Ubuntu. Distro X is always Ubuntu. Y and Z are usually picked from Debian, Red Hat, Fedora and Arch

This is often no longer an issue thanks to Flatpak & Steam Proton built-in Windows emulation.

In addition, there's a significant subset of people who's only program they use is a web browser.
This is obviously quite doable with basically any distro.

Yes, while this has issues of its own (as long as the web services they are using are centralized and corporate controlled) I have observed the less technical users I have been helping with computer issues are totally happy as long as they sit in front of a computer with a web browser, where they can log in to their online accounts and get going.
Some might want a full mail client and possibly a printer configured and that's about it.
Well sure, it's supported on X, Y and Z!
- Oh but I'm on distro A.
Oh sorry, that's not supported. But here's a post by some guy on some forum who says he made it work by doing a bunch of complicated things no one understands.
