Package availability issues -> there are PPA's for everything. A less known thing about LTS releases is that the repos are smaller because of the testing they have to do to make it up to LTS standards. Main reason I moved from 16.04 to 16.10. I don't have direct experience with fedora but I heard that it's nice. Will have to try it someday ;).

>Package availability issues It's not about availability, it's about possibility of installing packages that are in the main repo with the default software manager gui (gnome-software). In ubuntu lts I found no way to install scribus with gnome-software though it is in repository. This is just a bad quality of the distro itself and I wouldn't call suck behavior ``user friendly'' https://askubuntu.com/questions/783748/16-04-ubuntu-software-has-much-less-applications-now-why https://askubuntu.com/questions/783748/16-04-ubuntu-software...

  It's in the repo https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/scribus/1.4.6+dfsg-4 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/scribus/1.4.6+dfsg-4 so your scenario should work. In comparison arch: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/i686/scribus/ https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/i686/scribus/ Fedora: https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/scribus https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/scribus IIRC you have to enable multiverse repos in Ubuntu manually (doable with the GUI or somewhere in settings). 2017 will be the year of Linux on the desktop :P.
