I have this urge to use Ubuntu

I have been a Windows user forever. I have used almost every version of Windows since, Windows XP.
But, now I feel that the core experience of Windows has been stale since XP. We still need the start menu, the file Explorer is basically the same with little to no change. The icons are now modernised, but the base is still the same. New Apps like photos and Groove did bring a breath of fresh air in the Windows ecosystem, but it wore off quite quickly. 
Now I find myself craving for new. Since Apple hardware is overpriced, I only have one way quench my thirst for change.
Linux, while Linux is not the most popular operating systems in the world. Its distros look quite compelling and attract me. Ubuntu is leading the charge, they are the biggest among the distros. One could say that Ubuntu is the Windows of Linux distros. Hence, it should be stable right? 

Who knows maybe one of these days Windows might do something, which might push me over the edge and bring change to my life.
