I can see why you think the second statement is true based on the first statements. When Ubuntu switched their desktop to Gnome, they gave up on being the best Linux desktop distro. I'd recommend you to try Linux Mint.

I'm curious, can you elaborate on why you believe that changing to Gnome meant they were giving up on being the best desktop distro?

Let me recommend Fedora to you Timbit.

Debian family is outdated and builds with bugs upon release.

I too was corrupted by Ubuntu's marketing strategy of being popular and using the misleading word 'Stable'.
