Ubuntu is my daily driver, but don't expect Ubuntu promoting something to mean they're sticking with it for the long haul. See Wayland[1], Unity[2], and NetworkManager (EDIT apparently still supported with Netplan). I once backported a bug in Ubuntu's version of a Torrent Client (Deluge), and got to inform the software's lead developer that Ubuntu had actually stopped using his software by default in the next release in favor of Transmission. I've been using Ubuntu since 8.04, ran a LoCo team and even did some package maintenance, and I've watched Ubuntu embrace tech whole heartedly, and then drop it like a rock 2 releases later, over and over again. Ubuntu moves fast and breaks things, and them promoting something should not indicate to you that they'll promote it for the long term. Long Term Support does not mean long term new development, and LTS support does not mean helping to implement support in new major Kernel versions. 1. https://blog.ubuntu.com/2018/01/26/bionic-beaver-18-04-lts-to-use-xorg-by-default https://blog.ubuntu.com/2018/01/26/bionic-beaver-18-04-lts-t... 2. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2018/05/ubuntu-18-04-the-return-of-a-familiar-interface-marks-the-best-ubuntu-in-years/ https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2018/05/ubunt...
