    My employer uses ubuntu for operations, and so I have experience using it in that settings. My thoughts:

    • It’s basically fine, it’s well-supported by third party PPAs (i.e., apt repos) so it’s generally possible to install arbitrary versions of popular open source daemons (e.g., postgres, redis), it’s been on systemd for a while, which despite some people’s criticisms, I find to Just Work, so I like it.
    • snap is annoying and I wish canonical would stop trying to make it a thing
    • apt’s default is to automatically enable and start daemon systemd units on installation, which IMO is highly questionable

    For desktop, I like Arch too much to use Ubuntu or any other fixed-release distro.
