As an former Ubuntu fan boy, for well over a decade, I second the recommendation of MXlinux over Ubuntu.
Lighter weight and Debian base is great. It is also friendly to Linux newbies with helpful tools, community and documentation.
I use Devuan on many of my computers, which is also based on Debian.
