I don't have any children living at my home any longer. I was just
wondering if Ubuntu was made for children or perhaps people with
learning disabilities who should not be given full access to their
operating system.
Of course not. Its made for people who want to USE linux, not constantly >>> fiddle with it.

Even in Ubuntu Cinnamon, the file manager natively displays / and all you
need to do is right click and select open as root to be able to access
your system files.

This is not ture and totally unfair! Ubuntu is friendly and stable and usable, even in commercial. Canonical give you choice what desktop
flavor you want - this is also very friedndly - not all distros are made
that way. Canonical now support LTS relases for 12 years.
The problem with Canonical is that they don't respond to emails with
these questions:
- How many cost iso image download service per user?
- How many cost sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade per user per monht?
- How many donation do you expect from honest user? Please specify your expectations per each workstation and per each server?
- What should I do to make a donation that will be fairly
separated/divided between Kubuntu, Canonical, and free software suppliers?
Canonical have made some questionable decisions in the past. I never
used Ubuntu myself (no real need), but I did consider it a good distro
for those new to Linux, due to the rather stellar work making a
functional.
However, there have been some questionable things that have been done to Ubuntu.
Snaps are, to put it mildly, quite odd.
Canonical has, like many others in the tech sector, embraced ESG and DEI.
Ubuntu can collect data on you. They are open, it can be turned off,
but I would prefer a distro that didn't attempt that or try to normalise
such practices. It may or may not be a slippery slope, but the last
person I helped install Linux on was *very* sensetive of tracking, and
trust in Linux and Free Software would be greatly eroded if the
capability was there.
Using the rust version of SUDO.
