If you have gained some Linux skills after using Ubuntu for some time, you may try switching to these distributions to explore the world of Linux distributions further.

Ubuntu is one of the best Linux distributions for beginners. It's an excellent platform for people new to Linux. It is easy to install, has tons of free resources available along with a massive list of applications available for it. https://itsfoss.com/distribution-after-ubuntu/

    -ox, so he downloaded twelve different distros.

    Kids These Days.

    When I installed Linux, all I had was Yggdrasil and 386.

    My best guess as to why Rod can't get Linux to work on his new box is that it has a broken Windows-only BIOS.

    I have to say that Rod is into learning things thoroughly: if he can somehow come up with a working Linux install, he's going to build Linux From Scratch.

    And so this post can argue to be on-topic, I use Linux Mint Cinnamon.

    ...and if they weren't different, why would you need the number "twelve"?

      Woah... And here I thought I was being ridiculous when I had a chained triple DOS boot.

    Only twelve? Get off my lawn! For the fuller experience you need to test at least the top 100 distros currently on Distrowatch. You may skip over ReactOS which will never be ready to replace Windows 95, but is listed, somehow.
    I also got to a point where fiddling with OSes gets old and you just want things to work and keep working. At this point, Linux Mint Cinnamon (maybe MATE), Manjaro MATE (based on Arch, but minus the PhD in Computer Science Incantations). Second tier choices: Ubuntu MATE, Solus, Debian, Linux Lite - you may experience adventures with multimedia. If you want to warm your house from the CPU, install any distro that uses KDE.
