Been using it as my daily driver for the last couple of years and I am very happy with it.

When there are issues they are solvable, and the options for getting software, via apt, snap, flatpak, etc. Means that I can really pick and choose how I use my machine.

Even gaming is so much better than it used to be. A lot of things just work.

Very happy with it, and the latest update was quite a nice little refresh of the UI.

Any reliable forks?

Maybe a bit naive, but what is the way that things that are going? What would Canonical pulling the rug out look like?
