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/

    I stopped using ubuntu by the time they pushed Mono stuff into the default install.
    I reverted to debian until I booted jessie beta: wew lads, the first buggy debian, and I have used the powerpc port of debian potato and the alpha ones, and sidux, none approached remotely this level of breakage.
    Later I learned why, systemd.
    I watched in horror as debian, the universal distro who usually gave you ample ways to come up with a customized set of packages which would make any other sysadmin go WTF, became just another systemd poor imitation of a mac.

    Then I learned antix did not like systemd.
    OOOH my old eth0 as interface! my old ifconfig up and ifconfig down if the wifi acted up! my old 'you can see the dhcp on the console while booting so "is the network up" is not an equivalent of the shroedinger cat's health!

    And its companion MX linux for a more refined, if more systemd libs tainted, desktop.

    And to top it all, while debian live died, antix and mxlinux have a lot of stuff to easily remaster your disto or boot different images in the "frugal" fashion pioneered by puppy.

    Else try voidlinux, or some guix stuff, or rancheros, or calculate linux, or gentoo, or alpine, or the slackware family.
