Personally, I've only ever had issues with Ubuntu Server and have since switched back to Debian.
I don't know if I'm extremely unlucky or if the choices I make are really that bad;
- I've hit a bug with amavisd and bitdefender[1]
- Recently, Ubuntu pushed for 'netplan' instead of ifupdown and that didn't work with an empty bridge for LXC[2][3]
- They broke a (convenience) script for remotely unlocking a LUKS rootfs[4]
- postconf segfaulting every 5 minutes[5], nothing bad but it just looks ugly in the server logs
That's the major annoyances that I've experienced in the last 3 years. Never had anything like it on Debian. :/

- hyperbovine 8y agoMost Debian packages are years behind the current stable release. This debate is as old as Ubuntu itself. It is the very reason Ubuntu exists. Stable, free, current: pick any two
- bpye 8y agonetplan seems to be a nightmare, I ended up falling back to ifupdown when trying to setup libvirtd.
