Yeah the Arch line was a meme/joke but I do think there are better options than Ubuntu/Gnome these days. Manjaro for one. Linux Mint used to be good too. Haven't tried it recently though. The main reason I wasn't recommending Ubuntu is because of it's recent annoyances. I recently recommended Ubuntu to a Linux newbie, but after seeing him deal with issues of having to add ppas for some of the toolchains he needed, deal with snap headaches for steam, How gnome takes away certain basic features like being able to edit the path in it's open dialogs, it seemed like there are better options.
