I use Ubuntu on all of my work and personal machines. The reason I like it is simple: if you search "$PROBLEM ubuntu" you're much more likely to get a useful result than if you search "$PROBLEM $OTHER_DISTRO."
I used Debian for several years before moving to Ubuntu. The reasons for that move are twofold: First, I bought an Nvidia graphics card. Second, Ubuntu has newer packages. Sometimes I need a very recent release of something, and Ubuntu is far more likely to have that. I also like Snap as a failover from apt: the only time I use snap is when I run into a situation like this:
> shit, this package is broken and there's about 200 steps I'd need to adapt from ArchWiki to fix it. You know what? I'll just snap it.
I am strongly considering going back to Debian, though. I run a kinda weird setup on my personal machines (I start with Ubuntu Server, then hand-install graphics drivers, xorg, i3wm, st, etc etc) and a lot of Snap packages seem to assume I'm using GNOME even though I'm not.
