I've been on the fence but tipped back. I'm also always on the fence about Arch vs Ubuntu. But the speed and ease with which you get an application like NextCloud fully running on Ubuntu is unmatched. I don't want to spend time tweaking php.ini (anymore), I just want to install nginx and php7 en find that <? phpinfo(); ?> just works. And when I want to VNC into the box for various reasons, I just want it to work and not mess with x configs or put up with very ugly theme-less windows. The BSD pull is there (even more from OpenBSD), I feel it, but after an evening of struggle I often revert back to Ubuntu LTS. I have run Gentoo on my server, back when I didn't have kids nor required regular sleep. Now I just want stuff to work and run after installing it. I want Snaps and Docker to just work after apt installing them.
