I’m on Ubuntu because last time I built a computer I was doing a lot of ROS development. I’m pretty uninterested in experimenting with distros and just want something with LTS releases that lets me work and play some games. If I ever decide to move off Ubuntu it will probably be to Debian.
Not that I’d heard of. I did some searching and found a lot of mentions of an incident in 2016 where their server got hacked and uploaded compromised .isos for Cinnamon, but supposedly that was quickly fixed. And either way was a decade ago

If you ever need to reinstall, I would recommend Mint. The main branch is a fork of Ubuntu, but it feels far more polished in my experience.
Mint looks nice, maybe in a few years when I decide to build my next one.
Doesn’t mint have a history of security mishaps?
I think you’re confusing it with Manjaro, which has had several.
