Especially a 4 year old LTS. But I guess the point was that you will run into some users that do when you ship to the general audience.

replyI've been running Linux for a very long time.
replyUbuntu has never ever been the most stable or useful distro. What it did have was apt and more up to date stuff than debian.
I would never willingly choose Ubuntu if allowed other options (Fedora, Debian, maybe CoreOS, etc)
I have a lot of respect for Canonical for driving a distro that was very "noob friendly" in an ecosystem where that's genuinely hard.
replyBut I mostly agree with you. Once you get out of that phase, I don't really see much value in Ubuntu. I'd pick pretty much anything else for everything I do these days. Debian/Fedora/Alpine on the server. Arch on the desktop.
not to mention the OP mentioned 22 LTS which isn't even the most current LTS
