> Ubuntu out of the box is not a great experience. I personally went with Linux Mint, because it doesn't try to push snaps and honestly the Cinnamon desktop is lovely and gets out of the way, a bit like XFCE but in some ways more polished: https://www.linuxmint.com/ https://www.linuxmint.com/ It's nice that I don't even need custom scripts, it's pretty good out of the box. Of course, it's not like default Ubuntu would be unusable or anything like that, either, just personal preference. That said, contrary to popular opinion, I actually liked Ubuntu a lot, back when it had the Unity desktop, it felt better to me than GNOME, but maybe that's just me. I guess there are projects like https://ubuntuunity.org/ https://ubuntuunity.org/ out there still, but using something that's not popular nowadays seems like it might lead to issues down the road. For servers, Ubuntu LTS is fine as is.
