Ubuntu displays advertising in /etc/motd

I've been running Ubuntu on my laptop for a while, working as a software dev. Maybe it's time to switch.

What other distro is a competitor in this space? (I.e., not a minimalist distro, easy to use, with plenty of available software?) Fedora? Mint?

Fedora, Debian (if you still want to use apt) or OpenSUSE.

Ubuntu as an end-user OS is fine, this discussion is specifically for servers. I personally use Mint though, purely for the Cinnamon GUI. Mint is basically Ubuntu underneath so there's no reason to switch.

I've been using Elementary OS for a year or so. Yes, it is based on Ubuntu, but I find the desktop env much nicer.

Arch

I haven't used Arch in years, but I'm pretty sure it qualifies as a minimalist distro.

But isn't that what OP was asking for?
