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/

    there was a "free cd" version less than 1.0 call Ubuntu.
    Loaded it up and looked at the "baby sh!t yellow" screen and put it on a shelf.

    In searching for help/fixes on windows I run across more "help me Ubuntu" that anything else.
    I'm an founding member of the cctxlug [.org].
    Helped members constantly having issues with Ubuntu [one member is a Ubuntu is the greatest].

    Still have boxes for Suse 9.0, Mandrake 8.0, Lindows, and many others.

    For several years my "tool" of choice has been SolydK [solydxk.com] K=KDE X=XFCE.
    Rolling updates, no issues with printers and normal operations.

    Would you use a ball-peen hammer to bust concrete?
    Would you give a small sized female a 32oz framing hammer to hang a picture?

    Everything is a "tool" for our use and sometimes that might even be a single need.
    All hale Virtual Machines [vbox for me] as you can have available all the tools you need in one place.

    Been a registered Linux User [http://counter.li.org] since 2006.
    System AMD 8350, 16gig, 3-2TB drives, dual 24" monitors and nearly a 2 TB of linux VMs.

    I've seen Corpus Christi on maps.
    (Several of those were hurricane tracking plots.)
    What's the best thing about that burg?

    Are you still active in the LUG?
    Does the LUG still gather in meatspace?
    How many active members?
    On a particularly well-attended gathering, how many show up?
    Ever do|Still doing installfests?
    Are those separate from regular meetings?

    My first contact with actual Linux users was early in the century at Cal State Fullerton. [oclug.org]
    (I find their use of a saturated blue to be unwise as a background for black text.)
