Switched from Debian to Ubuntu LTS few years ago.

Any reason why?

I use Raspian on my pi and Ubuntu on my workstation and I maintain a debian server at work.

I love 'em all. Ubuntu Snaps arent my fav. but other than that they've been great

I had some problems caused by different package versions between main workstation (Ubuntu) and Debian. Deluge refused to connect in thin client mode because the version in Debian was older and incompatible with newer version in Ubuntu. I had a server upgrade coming up, reinstall was in order anyway, and I decided to just go with Ubuntu. Livepatch is nice as well, and although snaps aren't great, there is usecase for them as well sometimes.
