It wasn’t my gateway, but I do remember when it started and rapidly became my distro of choice because of it’s focus on a good, easy, well supported desktop. sigh
Debian for daily driver laptops, mint for your mom’s daily driver laptop, OpenSuSE for desktop gaming, BSD for the servers, and life is good. Real good.
One could say that Ubuntu’s original purpose has become obsolete … they could still strive to provide the best Linux Desktop experience, period, but nowadays it’s kinda hard to stand out that way and it doesn’t pay the bills unless one wants to get serious about computers with preinstalled Linux. Which might actually have happened if the Ubuntu phone had been a (commercial) success, but alas.

Nowadays I just use Debian Stable.

Tuxedo OS is based on Ubuntu but they’re doing to make the switch to Debian testing as a base, with extra checks, btrfs with Snapper as default.
This might be my next distro of choice.
