It's a fine distro. But at some point you get restless feet and you will start to surf the Great Sea of Distros^tm^. And you will leave green Ubuntu behind.

And perhaps someday you might circle back or not. Linux life is about the journey and not the destination.

Green Ubuntu, best Ubuntu.

Nah. Ubuntu is used a lot on servers, in virtual machines and in containers. There's also a good number of companies that hand out Ubuntu to their employees as workstations or ship it to customers preinstalled on devices.

Mint might have more users in the hobbyist+desktop space, but personally, I don't believe that either. Ubuntu is much more widely known, so even though Mint sees more recommendations in forums like Lemmy, there's gonna be tons of users who just install the distro they've heard of before, or which their friend is already using.
