Mm, well, i guess that depends on what one's
"everything" is. i used
Ubuntu years ago - having moved from Mandriva - and was pleased by how
everything "just worked". But over time i started experiencing various
issues where things _didn't_ just work (i can't remember what now; i
think printing might have been one thing), which became increasingly
frustrating. So i moved to Debian, and had a much more "just works"
experience. But then Debian moved to systemd, and i started getting
frustrated again in various ways, and so i moved to Void.
I used Debian for 27 years, until ascii (the last release without the
nasty systemd), which I upgraded to Devuan ascii. The upgrade process
was flawless with everything working without problems for me (I don't
use disgusting DEs like Gnome or KDE, of course).
In several systems, I've kept upgrading release after release of Devuan,
changing every part of the hardware in the way, and it keeps working
great.
In the BSDs, I much prefer the more classic text installers, where I'm
in control, but NomadBSD and GhostBSD have graphical installers which
seem to be much simpler and easier to use than the Ubuntu one.
