@itsfoss i picked ubuntu 9.04 for a project because it was there.
i still use ubuntu, now as a daily driver for work and play. my wife uses ubuntu on her PC. my kids use it.
every now and then i dabble with debian, and i keep virt-manager installed to try things out, like kde neon for kde plasma 6 before it was fully baked, and nixos, which intrigues/confuses me.
