The author raises some good questions about the licensing of the core utils. Why the MIT license? Why not stick to GNU GPL?

Ubuntu is fine. Fair warning if you do go the debian route, upgrading from one Debian stable version to the next is not as easy as an Ubuntu distro-upgrade. But OTOH the Ubuntu upgrades are probably the riskiest part of ubuntu too.

Ubuntu won't be fine on their next LTS release. Snap is becoming even more mandatory. I don't have anything against Snap per se, but the way they're forcing it and tricking users when using apt is not right.
