I've been using Ubuntu for years, but only on headless servers. I love 
it, and I find it much nicer to use than CentOS.

My affinity for Ubuntu was cemented when I bought some Pine A64+ systems 
(like Raspberry Pi systems, but different manufacturer). Armbian 
provides an Ubuntu distribution for the Pine that has been rock solid 
for me.

When I had Linux installed on a laptop a few years ago, I chose Linux 
Mint and was happy with it. That provides a much nicer GUI than what 
Canonical provides with Ubuntu, IMO.
