A long time ago there were good reasons for Ubuntu to exist. Debian releases were very slow, sometimes years apart, and focus was on servers. But slowly Debian has incorporated all the things that make Ubuntu better than Debian. It also has a much faster release cycle.

There hasn't been a good reason to use Ubuntu over Debian for years.



Debian releases are 2 years apart roughly. The same as Ubuntu LTS.

Many Ubuntu 3rd party repos have no Debian equivalent. But there are more Debian repos than before.
