Why are people promoting this, all of a sudden?

They just released a new version a few days ago that's really solid and aims to be a drop-in replacement for Windows. It's probably the most beginner friendly distro out there and has stuff like Onedrive/MS 365 integration for people using that stuff.

The paid version is useless unless you need support.
