I'm one of those freaks who use Unity to this day. :)
In the beginning Unity was rough, but the last version was actually quite comfortable to use.
At the moment I'm daily driving Ubuntu 20.04 with root on ZFS, but I'm debating really hard whether I should distro hop or not. I dislike Canonical's insistence on "snap", their advertisements in "apt" output, ...
But on the other hand Ubuntu gave me mostly a "it just works" experience on my desktop for multiple years. For a while I ran Arch on another system and had quite the opposite experience. Upstream broke dependencies at least twice for example, so a lengthy session of "how the heck do I fix this" ensued.
