True, but the desktop environment that they develop in-house is what I grade them on. Not the color themes and backgrounds that they put on desktop environments produced by other projects. You can install other desktop environments on any linux distro. Ubuntu only produces Unity.

That's true, but you could always just install Kubuntu or Xubuntu and still get a great experience, it's literally just Ubuntu with a different DE so you would still get the full Ubuntu "experience" imo, although yeah I do see your point. Though, I do think Ubuntu has actually moved back to GNOME and killed off Unity.

They even link to the alternate desktop environments on their site

Ubuntu doesn’t use unity anymore, their default UI is a GNOME shell with some extensions. It works pretty well imo. Not that different from gnome itself
