It's a jack of all trades with no very particularly weak points, that allows me to just work. I'm done fucking around with config files because oops Arch wants to install glibc-alpha-rewrote-in-haskell.
Want a recent kernel ? Ubuntu is relatively good at that. Want software that's more or less up to date, without needing the bleeding edge ? Their repos are good at that. Not in the repos ? You can probably add-apt-repository something and you'll be good to go. Need a reliable DE ? Gnome is fine. Hate Gnome ? It's alright, there's a KDE and Xfce version too. What's that, you want snaps ? Yeah, it's there. Flatpaks ? There too. Is more or less Debian compatible, which is pretty much the only distro you can expect people to properly package for ? Gotcha. Weird setups like Optimus that end up being broken in most places ? Works just fine. Proprietary nvidia drivers ? Sure.
I'm done fucking around for hours getting Arch to not be crap, or Fedora to not use fucking pacman, give me apt. I just want a work distro that will handle 99% of what I throw at it without any issues.
