My last dip into alternative distros (~2 years ago) for my dev desktop was quickly over by various problems/missing settings for display, audio and network. Not saying it wouldn't have worked (one was even ubuntu based), but I had to go and configure desktop stuff on the CLI, including having to figure out how. I rather not.

I'm absolutely fine running something else on a server though and my docker images are usually alpine based. But for desktop Ubuntu is the closest to "looks decent and just works"
