I've gone back and forth with distros for a long time. Ubuntu works fine for me - I don't have the rolling release blues like I often got with Arch, or the ancient tools like I did with Debian or CentOS. I like deb over rpm based solely on what I got used to. If I need the bleeding edge of something odds are there is a PPA out there making it happen. Started in Ubuntu in the 5.x era. Running 19.04 at home at the moment. Anymore I don't like having to spend ages setting up a development box. I want mostly stable with the toolchains I need. Ubuntu fits the bill for me.
