If you want something similar to Ubuntu, but something that is much more stable, I highly recommend Linux Mint. I've been using it for about 4 years now and it's a delight. Very stable and doesn't give me a lot of issues after upgrades. Their upgrade-schedule and the upgrades itself are very conservative.
They've based off a Ubuntu LTS, but I think they are starting to move away from that.

- exDM69 10y agoYes, a failure at safely distributing software is a pretty big failure when it comes to distributions. Mint, elementary and the other "user friendly" distros should focus on creating the desktop and leave the distribution part to projects that have the resources and the staff to maintain the infrastructure.
- lscotte 10y agoWell, I'd argue just use base debian. All the same benefits, none of Mint's security issues.
