Or, we've been using Linux for a long long time and have no time for compiling from scratch, and like it or not, Ubuntu is the best tested out there for the desktop/laptop. Fedora isn't bad either, mind you.

I'd never run Ubuntu on the server by choice, mind you, but servers are constrained by other considerations.

Since we're talking about compiling from scratch, I spend about a third of the time compiling since I've got Arch on my machine (albeit a fairly powerful Ryzen). The vast breadth of the AUR saves me a lot of time having to figure out how to compile version z of software x.
