From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's dumb as shit. It's not completely her fault. From the video, it seems she knew the laptop came with Ubuntu, and she bought it anyway (price difference maybe? They don't mention why she opted for that one). The blame should be on Dell, they convinced her that it was good.
Edit: forgot to say that Ubuntu has nothing to do with this. They had no hand in this whole thing at all.
