From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've been using Ubuntu for the past 6 years, haven't tried another distro because I'm so comfortable here. Could you tell me why you think others are so much better?
Maybe I should switch, but I think my experience in Ubuntu might outweigh the negatives that it has ie I might just know how to deal with it's peculiarities and I don't even realize
If it works well for you, don't switch. Many Linux users are against Snaps, because Canonical "forces" them on you and they tend to take up more space. Ubuntu has become the Nickelback of Linux distros. Yes, it's not the best, but it's also not terrible and still a good beginner distro. Stick with what you like.
