The main reason for me to switch is U-he plugins that seems to

Any valid reasons to go the Ubuntu route, ya think ?

The Ubuntu LTS seems a good deal, but there are not a lot of
people working on keeping things specific to audio in best running
order. In particular the version of jackd has from time to time
been broken (though it seems just fine these days). The focus of
Ubuntu is servers and desktop. Those parts will work well. </blockquote>

All are why I have been sticking to Arch derivatives for quite a
while :-) I just converted a heavily-used Manjaro/XFCE4 desktop,
two years in use and regularly updated, into a Linux audio testing
machine, without glitches. Amazing. <br>
