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/

    Fiddling with distros used to be kinda fun, but at some point I decided I'd rather be using my computer than to be tinkering with the operating system.

    Same here - at the moment I've wound up using Devuan as the main machine (I'd used Debian for years, and sort of got used to it), and for when I absolutely *had* to use something with the very-latest-rebuild-everything dependency I've been dropping Mint "18.the.latest.xfce.version" onto virtual machines and running that as an isolated slave "Build, Run, Test and Nuke" environment, where the various systemd-esque & cutting edge "can't start up"/"can't shut down"/"wacky networking changes"/security problems etc. etc.are not so much of an issue when I can freeze, wipe and restore to defaults from clean trivially...

    Tried a couple of moves over to BSD, and it's OK to play with, but I never seem to have the time to get comfortable with it the way I do with Linux & apt, and the systems I use in the day job are solidly Linux-centric.
