   I'm curious what the audience is for Ubuntu nowadays? If you use it - why Ubuntu over another distro? Is it still largely a beginner-friendly stepping stone?

      I use it because I am very happy with the release schedule and the maturity. I don't want to use the latest greatest. I want something that works and has some manpower (and maybe money) behind it. I am not the biggest fan of snap but I know how to get around it.

         Considered any alternatives? Like atomic OS images, e.g. Fedora derivatives?

            I don't like immutable distros. I play around too much. I tried normal Fedora but an update broke my graphics stack and I didn't like that. Other than that I am used to Deb and it just works.
