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.

Ubuntu in general I find tends to fixate on one particular thing that not many people are asking for (Unity, Mir, that "convergent phone" thing they were doing for a while, now Snaps) and let everything else stagnate until they get the thing to be almost decent, then they dump it and go chasing after the next shiny object.
I can see why it would be a bit troublesome to base a distro around. I assume that's why Mint keeps that LMDE version running as well.
