I used to use Ubuntu for many years, but it became a such bloatware. So many things what you don’t really need.

Packages were sometimes also different compared to vanilla Debian. This caused issues in stability (talking more about feature set). Some advanced software just did not work, which worked on equivalent vanilla Debian.

I might recommend Ubuntu for very beginner developer, but not to stick with it longer time. It will give you headache. There are also more privacy-friendly distributions.
