I've started using Ubuntu in Warthog times, when their value prop was refreshing and sorely needed: an out of the box usable Linux distro. It was my distro until 2020, when I realized they were going in a direction I don't care for (you could argue a direction opposite their original mission), and that other distros have reached and exceeded Ubuntus level of polish. Basically, take your pick, and it's gonna be at least as good.

I ended up with Debian because I like stable but not ancient (CentOS?) and it comes with a release cadence similar to Ubuntu LTS.
