This was me, except I went straight from Ubuntu to Debian. At some point I wondered why I was doing all this manual maintenance. I realized that Ubuntu relies on Debian and so I switched. Haven’t looked back.
My last Ubuntu install would break my shit all the time. Debian is so much more reliable it's incredible. Haven't had to mess with anything in over a year whereas Ubuntu required constant maintenance. It's a shame it's so popular because Canonical seems to be absolutely awful at testing their package updates compared to any other common desktop distro. I've heard fast fewer issues with Debian, Fedora and SUSE
Interesting. I‘ve installed ubuntu server on my homeserver and added a couple of services like two years ago. I‘m constantly improving stuff and so far, nothing went wrong. I also had a couple ubuntu servers at work, no issues like ever.
I also installed ubuntu desktop recently and it’s a little buggy (my fault as I didn’t use the lts version I suppose).
